Esakov G.A. International criminal law as a sub-branch of Russian criminal law: current status and problems

Abstract: The article focuses on the current status of international criminal law provisions in Russian criminal law. The author outlines the history of these provisions within the national criminal legislation, reveals their specific features, and makes a comparison with the foreign experience on this matter. Based on the aforementioned, he concludes that there is a specific sub-branch within Russian criminal law, which can be referred to as ‘internationally originated criminal law.’ This sub-branch encompasses the group of crimes in the special part of the criminal code and modifies the general rules of criminal law. Furthermore, the current problems with regards to these crimes and general rules are outlined. Special attention is given to the future prospects of implementation procedures and doctrinal research in this area. The author concludes that to have an up-to-date criminal legislation and a strong criminal legal theory, is a task for the future development within Russian criminal legal doctrine.
