Abstract

Criminal Procedure in the Russian Federation is established by the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. Participants from prosecution and defense face many problematic issues that affect their rights and freedoms in the course of criminal proceedings. The Presidium of the Supreme Court is the final authority that solves the questions and issues of the protection of the rights and freedoms of members of criminal proceedings. The judgment of the European Court of Human Rights on violation of the Convention on Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is a new matter which is ap-plied in the course of criminal proceedings. Member of criminal proceedings may appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to protect their rights and freedoms. However, it is not mentioned in the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation. The Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights on the violation of provisions of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms which took place in the process of the criminal proceedings is a reasonable basis for the reopening of the criminal case. However, this basis should provide occasion in the criminal law. There-fore, Chapter 16 of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation should be complemented with a new article.

Keywords
