The Principle of Legal Certainty

The article analyzes the principle of legal certainty, which is the subject of consideration not only of the legal doctrine, but also of the Constitutional Court of Russia, as well as international judicial bodies. A legal norm should have a concretized expression, but in a number of cases, the specificity of the normative material is either difficult or impossible due to various reasons. Nevertheless, it is inexpedient to get rid of such norms with an indefinite content, since they have a pragmatic load and correspond to the principle of justice, which, in particular, is expressed in the idea of the equality of citizens before the law.
