Abstract

The article deals with the problematic issues of the process of unification of criminal procedure legislation. Criminal procedure law as a legal phenomenon is studied through the prism of the science of hermeneutics, which examines the problems associated with the meaning of language, its understanding, explanation, interpretation and other aspects that are important for the unification of legislation. The authors note that following hermeneutic logic, criminal procedure law is a science in the sense in which it operates with general basic concepts and makes it possible to bring a specific fact under a typical generalization developed by this science. In criminal procedure law, as in any other law, it is important to understand, explain and interpret its text. The algorithm of full understanding of the text of articles of the criminal procedure law in aspect of hermeneutic logic is offered. Examples of violation of hermeneutic logic are given in articles of the Code of Criminal Procedure, procedural branches of the Russian law and it is concluded that modern lawmaking should take into account the provisions of hermeneutic science in order to preserve the uniform consolidation and interpretation of the fundamental provisions affecting the practice of law enforcement agencies and the court.
