Melnikov Victor Yurievich Rights of a person in criminal process

Abstract: Currently there is obvious lack of due theoretical studies in the sphere of understanding of conceptual position of human rights in criminal legal procedure, as well as of the position of person within this procedure, when rights of a person are protected or limited by the state. The lack of such understanding leads to the failure to comply with the constitutional guarantees of human rights in criminal legal procedure and in cases of application of coercive measures. Understanding and guarantees of human rights and freedoms during the criminal law process should have primary value in comparison to the term of exposure of a crime, and the necessary procedural means of coercion, as applied by the accusing party. Guarantees of rights and lawful interests of a person in criminal law process should be supported by investigators, inquiry officers, prosecutor, court, advocate with the due participation of other parties to the criminal judicial procedure in order to guarantee optimal conditions for the implementation of procedural rights and responsibilities of its participants.
