Abstract
The article refers to the analysis of the institution of parole from the further serving of the sentence of persons sentenced to a certain term or life imprisonment in the Republic of Armenia, in particular, the current and previous legislative regulations, the changes made, their comparison, the problems arising in practice, as well as the possible new legislative changes for their solution. In the article, an attempt was made to outline in the most accessible and accessible way possible the legislative regulations regarding early release from punishment, one of the fundamental rights of persons sentenced to life imprisonment or a certain period of imprisonment, which is an important and integral part of the penal legislation during the formation of the new legal system after the achievement of independence in the Republic of Armenia, because in practice the majority of complaints among convicts relate to the problems arising in the process of their parole. An analysis was made of both the previously existing legal regulations and the new legal regulations that came into force on July 1, 2022, and their differences were also analyzed. The article also describes the legal positions expressed in precedent decisions of the RA Court of Cassation regarding the parole of persons sentenced to life imprisonment or a certain period of imprisonment, as well as the international practice regarding it. The current legislative regulations in the Republic of Armenia were compared with the international practice. Accordingly, the Order 336-L of the RA Minister of Justice of June 12, 2018, which is a cornerstone in the process of parole for persons sentenced to life or a certain term of imprisonment, needs to be amended and amended in terms of assessing and summarizing the standards of convicts.
