ON THE ISSUE OF UNIFICATION OF CRIMINAL AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LEGISLATION AND THE MAIN GOAL OF SUCH UNIFICATION FOR THE EAEU STATES
The article examines the issue of unification of the law of the EAEU member states. The analysis of the development of this process is carried out, the need for such unification is substantiated and specific steps taken by the EAEU states to establish economic relations are indicated. At the same time, it is noted that the issue of combating crime and preventing crime on the territory of these countries remains not at the proper level. The authors see the reasons for this state of the criminogenic situation in shortcomings in the issue of unification of the criminal and criminal procedural legislation of the EAEU member states. There is a lack of timeliness and inconsistency in the actions of the EAEU member states to improve, unify and optimize criminal and criminal procedure legislation. In their studies, the authors conclude that in science, there is no unified approach to defining the concept of unification of law and, therefore, there is no clear understanding of this process in relation to the EAEU member states. Based on research, the proposal is substantiated and the author's formulation of the concept of unification of law is given, in which a holistic, unified, semantic understanding of unification is embedded in relation to the EAEU member countries. In addition, based on their reasoning and analysis, the authors conclude that it is necessary to determine the purpose of such unification and offer the author's formulation of this concept in relation to the EAEU member countries. The necessity of forming a group of scientists - practitioners in order to develop proposals for the unification of criminal and penal law is substantiated. An explanation is given that as a result of such unification, a "new law" should be formed, creating a single legal space covering the entire territory of the EAEU member states. The creation of a Eurasian Interstate Court of Human Rights - "EHRM" is proposed as a judicial body.
