An Aggravating Circumstance as a Factor of Determination of Jurisdiction of a Military Court over a Criminal Case

Key Points

The expansion of military court jurisdiction now covers criminal cases linked to terrorism and related propaganda.
Key legislative frameworks under scrutiny include Article 31 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Article 63 of the Criminal Code.
Legal analysis emphasizes the implications of maintaining existing definitions in the context of terrorism prosecutions in military courts for jurisdictional clarity and enforcement precision. This article examines potential impacts of jurisdictional changes on the legal landscape surrounding terrorism-related offenses.

Abstract

The criminal law policy of the State determined the expansion of the competence (jurisdiction) of criminal cases to military courts, including by supplementing the subject jurisdiction with such a category of cases where the purpose of criminal encroachment is propaganda, justification and support of terrorism. The article considers the expediency of maintaining the current wording of paragraph 4 of part six of Article 31 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph “r” of part one of Article 63 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
