Abstract

This article touches upon the ways to use an adversarial principle, abuses of rights by the participants of criminal proceedings by exercising the legal rights. The article contains the examples of cases when participants of criminal proceedings do not exercise their rights in good faith. The authors suggest how to deal with this problem by amending the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation to include the principle of impossibility to abuse rights that will allow the participants to properly exercise their legal rights thereafter, prevent such behavior, and ensure the adversarial principle and equality of rights and parties to the criminal proceedings.

Keywords
