The question about the appointment of criminal proceedings

The article is devoted to the study of the goals, objectives and purpose of criminal proceedings. The study examines various points of view concerning the concepts of “purpose of criminal proceedings”, “purpose of criminal proceedings”, “tasks of criminal proceedings”, the position of the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in this part, as well as their relationship. Attention is also drawn to the emerging problems associated with the misinterpretation of these concepts due to the lack of differentiation at the legislative level. The conclusion is made about the non-identity of such concepts as the goal, objectives and purpose of criminal proceedings. In the course of the study, it was substantiated that understanding and clarification of such concepts as goals and objectives allows, in general, to determine those value orientations that are protected through the implementation of the norms of criminal procedure law. The solution of tasks in criminal proceedings contributes to the achievement of the purpose of criminal proceedings.
