Legal Aspects of Implementation of Criminal Procedure Principles Ensuring Confidentiality and Privacy of Its Parties

Elena A. Lavrushko, Applicant for the Degree of PhD (Law) of the Orenburg State University, LL.M. The article discusses the features of the implementation of the principles and norms of criminal procedure legislation regulating the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens through the protection of confidential information: personal, professional, commercial, official, etc. The relevance of the research topic is due to the contradiction between the proven mechanism for protecting confidential information in criminal proceedings in practice and the lack of norms in criminal procedure legislation specifying the form, content and tools that help protect confidential information from dissemination to third parties. The topic of the study has become most relevant recently in connection with the transition to electronic criminal proceedings, both in the Russian Federation and in many other post-Soviet states. The development of an effective mechanism for the implementation of principles establishing the inviolability of private life, the secrecy of correspondence, negotiations is important for the protection of personal data of participants in criminal proceedings.
