The implementation of the constitutional principle of humanity in criminal law

The article raises the problem of implementation of the constitutional principle of humanism in the criminal law, as well as in judicial practice in sentencing. The principle of humanism is reasonably important because it enshrines and really guarantees human rights, as stated in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Since, as a rule, the issues of punishability are implied when speaking about humanism, the author makes recommendations that can contribute to the construction of a system of criminal penalties corresponding to the principle of humanism, while not violating other important principles.
