Abstract

The legislator of Armenia is actively working on the planned implementation of the UN International Document requirements. In particular, to ensure guarantees of citizen rights to a fair public hearing by a competent court without delay and red tape. This follows from the article 14, paragraph 1 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the article 6, paragraph 1 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
 
 The legal system of Armenia is the part of the Romano-German legal family, but with distinctive features. In our opinion, in order to alleviate the workload of the trial courts, the Article 19 of the Criminal Code of the RA “Categories of Crimes” needs to have misconduct as an independent form. For the same purpose, it is necessary to provide for simplified (total) production in the CPC of this country, which, unfortunately, is absent in current legislation. For developments in these areas, you can analyze the article 15 of Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The jurisdiction of criminal courts in Russia is regulated by the article 31 of Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. Violation of this article rules leads to the annulment of the sentence and a criminal case re-examination.
