On the Role and Preservation of the Importance of Universally Recognized Principles and Norms of International Law in the Criminal Policy of the Russian Federation

The author proves the need to preserve the value of the generally recognized principles and norms of international law for the criminal policy of the Russian Federation in the context of a special military operation — when it started on the territory of Ukraine, and after the accession agreements between the Russian Federation and the Donetsk People Republic, Lugansk People Republic, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions have been signed — and within the Russia territory. This is especially necessary for the investigation and trial of criminal cases on crimes against the peace and security of mankind committed by the Ukrainian security forces against the Russian-speaking population and military personnel of the Russian Federation. In addition, it is necessary to preserve these norms and principles of international law for the execution of punishment, especially imprisonment (including the Russian system of execution of punishment, as well as in a pre-trial detention center), especially since this problem cannot be considered as solved for the domestic system of punishments according to evidences in the annual reports of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation.
