Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the international legal foundations of modern criminal law, the possibility of classifying international legal acts as sources of criminal law, determining their legal force, overcoming conflicts and competition between the norms of international criminal law and national legislation. The paper examines the established approaches to the application of self-executing and non-self-executing international legal norms in criminal cases. The author comes to the conclusion that the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has lost the status of the only source of criminal law, since in addition to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as generally recognized principles and norms of international law, as well as international treaties of the Russian Federation, can be attributed to them.
