Requirements imposed to criminal procedure decisions

Abstract

Activities for criminal case consist of legal proceedings and the decisions made by their results. Achievement of the called purposes directly depends on justification and motivation of criminal proceeding decisions. The requirement that the decision was not only reasonable, but also motivated, follows from the fact that the motivation increases justification of the decision, gives it internal and external credibility, facilitates the participants' understanding of process of essence of the made decision. The actual circumstances testimonial of availability of the bases established on case with which the law connects a possibility of adoption of this decision shall be the cornerstone of each decision. The article is devoted to requirements imposed to criminal procedure decisions. The purpose of the article is a theoretical and legal analysis of the requirements that are imposed on the criminal procedure decision. Achievement of the set goal is achieved by solving the following problems: theoretical substantiation of the concept of decisions taken in the criminal process, to determine the requirements for decisions. The legality of any proceeding decision is determined not only by observance of the standard instructions relating to content and a form of the decision but also observance of requirements of the law in the activities preceding decision.Justice characterizes not only the penalty imposed by court, but also all procedure of legal proceedings, and therefore due process violation are involved by recognition of the decision unfair. In this sense the concepts «material injustice» and «procedural injustice» are used. As a result of the study, the categories of reasonableness and motivation of procedural actions and decisions were analyzed.The motivation of a sentence, as well as many other types of decisions, is expression of their justification and therefore observance of the requirement of motivation of the decision gives the chance to check legality, justification and justice of the decision.Violation of the law requirements of on justification and timeliness of the made decisions shall involve responsibility of the state bodies and officials who broke the law, especially in cases when their actions (failure to act) led to violation of constitutional rights and freedoms of the person and citizen. The abovementioned demonstrates relevance and the practical importance of studying this problem.
