Abstract

The article reveals and examines the issues of the influence of international law, primarily international treaties, on the formation and functioning of the system of criminal law norms that ensure military law and order. The author substantiates the claim that hierarchical and coordination relations mainly operate between the domestic system of legal norms that provide criminal and legal protection of military law and order, and international law. It is noted that these connections cause the long-overdue need for an audit of the entire system of domestic criminal legislation, including the system of military criminal norms, for their adaptation and compliance with the requirements of international law, international treaties to which the Russian Federation is a party. The system of military criminal norms, due to its specifics, should not only take into account, but also specify these prescriptions (for example, the terminological constructions «military crimes that are not crimes in accordance with ordinary criminal law», «armed conflict», «military actions»), and some of them require implementation in the national criminal law, which will eliminate existing contradictions in these branches of legislation and will contribute to improving the quality of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
