RETROACTIVITY OF CRIMINAL LAW: UNSOLVED ISSUES

Abstract

Normative consolidation of the rules of the criminal law in time has not yet touched upon issues related to the temporal aspects of the blanket legislation and the recommendations of the Plenum of the Supreme court of the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis of historical experience, it is presumed that the unsolved nature of these problems leads to abuse by the authorities of their legitimate right to violence. The way out of this situation can be a balance of competencies of the branches of government and the legislative establishment of the rules of criminal law through the development of an appropriate principle.
