Abstract
"In recent years, there has been attention, both at the international and national levels, on the protection of the rights of victims of criminal offences. The first article of the Criminal Procedure Law outlines the objective of criminal proceedings, namely, to establish a procedural order that ensures the effective application of Criminal Law norms and the fair regulation of criminal legal relations without unjustified interference in a person’s life. One of the key elements of this fair regulation of legal relations is recognising the victim’s right to compensation for the harm suffered. A person who has been a victim of a criminal offence has the right to state compensation, as well as the right to seek compensation within the framework of criminal proceedings, which will be collected from the guilty party. It should be noted that legislative acts provide the opportunity for the victim to both receive state compensation and demand it from the guilty party. Keywords: State compensation, Victim, Criminal proceedings."
