EVOLUTION OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF UKRAINE WITHIN THE PERIOD OF 30 YEARS OF UKRAINIAN INDEPENDENCE

In the article, the author explores relevant issues of the formation and development of the Ukrainian criminal process over the 30 years of existence of the state of Ukraine since the proclamation of its independence.
The main stages of the development of the criminal procedure are highlighted and analysed in detail, namely: the stage of its formation since
Ukraine's independence proclamation in 1990-1991; the stage of development of the criminal procedure after Ukraine's accession to the Council of
Europe and the adoption of the new Constitution of 1996; the stage of the criminal procedure development after the adoption of the new Criminal
Procedure Code (CrPC) of Ukraine in 2012. The novelties of the CrPC of 2012 are comprehensively analysed. Firstly, the Code incorporated the
relevant key provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and international legal acts on human rights and justice. Secondly, it settled a number of
issues that were important for criminal proceedings but were either unregulated or partially regulated by other laws or regulations.
The article provides an analysis of the principle of access to justice enshrined in the CrPC of 2012, which provides for the right of participants in
criminal proceedings who have a vested interest in the results of these proceedings (suspect, accused, victim), not only to obtain a fair trial but also to
use broad procedural rights and to take an active part in criminal proceedings both during the pre-trial investigation and during the trial, contributing to
the comprehensive, complete, and impartial establishment of the circumstances of the criminal proceedings and the adoption of a fair trial.
The author also touches on the amendments to the CrPC of 2012, which are related to the military aggression of the Russian Federation against
Ukraine and the impossibility of pre-trial investigation and trial in the areas of the anti-terrorist operation, as well as those related to the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption, aimed at strengthening the fight against corruption crimes.
