Экстратерриториальное действие уголовного закона: современные мировые тенденции
The article analyses current version of the Russian Criminal Code with regard to its provisions on criminal legislation in light of foreign approaches in this field. The author comes to the main conclusion about non-active, prudent approach of Russian legislation to criminal jurisdiction confining it to historically elaborated schemes. The comparison with the current continental law and common law approaches reveals that legislative schemes of the leading foreign states are of more ‘aggressive’ nature. The passive nationality principles as well as universal and protective principles are widely used for asserting criminal jurisdiction extraterritorially. The author concludes that some steps in the same manner might be perceived by Russian legislator.
