Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical problems of the implementation of constitutional principles in criminal proceedings in Tajikistan, and the authors also draw attention to issues related to the normative regulation of principles in criminal proceedings. The paper examines the specifics of fixing the legal provisions of justice in the legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan: it analyzes the specifics of the legal system, which determines the method of legal regulation of criminal procedural relations and the patterns of improving the forms of ensuring the principles of the criminal process. The need for such a study is associated with the practical implementation of the guiding principles in criminal proceedings, which, in the context of the judicial and legal reform in Tajikistan, poses a number of theoretical and practical problems to legal science, the solution of which requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the procedural conditions for ensuring the constitutional principles of the criminal process. The authors believe that the study of the problems of the implementation of the principles of justice is especially timely in conditions when the ongoing judicial and legal reform in Tajikistan acquires an orientation towards building a rule-of-law state, where universal values become more priority than the interests of society and the state
