Review

Annotation. The provision on the administration of justice exclusively by courts, which is promulgated by the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges» and the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, has a fundamental nature and corresponds to the main features of the principles of criminal proceedings. The purpose of the article is: to reveal the content of the principle of the administration of justice in criminal proceedings exclusively by courts in connection with the institution of jurisdiction, the modern judicial system in Ukraine, the exercise of powers by the court to administer justice in various stages of criminal proceedings and the goal of justice. The importance of jurisdiction for ensuring justice is emphasized, which consists in creating conditions for the implementation of the principles of criminal proceedings during the trial and the adoption of a lawful court decision. It was noted that an important guarantee of effective and fair justice is the proper organization of the judicial system and a clear and legally justified definition of the rules of jurisdiction. Within the analysis of the content of the principle of the administration of justice in criminal proceedings exclusively by the courts, it is substantiated that in accordance with the established system of the judiciary in Ukraine and the rules of jurisdiction provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure, justice in criminal proceedings is carried out by local general courts, the High Anti-Corruption Court, appeals courts and the Supreme Court in the order specified by the Code of Criminal Procedure in the stages of court proceedings. Attention is paid to the implementation of the specified principle in various stages of criminal proceedings. It was concluded that the administration of justice by the courts takes place at all stages of the court proceedings when deciding the issues on the merits of the accusation: in the preparatory court proceedings, the court proceedings in the first instance, the proceedings for the review of court decisions in the appeal, cassation procedure, as well as in newly discovered or exceptional circumstances. The stages of law enforcement in the administration of justice by a court in criminal proceedings are distinguished: establishment of circumstances to be proven and other circumstances that are important for criminal proceedings; criminal qualification of the act; adoption and execution of a court decision. It is argued that the interconnectedness of the formal and substantive essential features of justice gives grounds for defining it simultaneously as an activity and as a goal. It was determined that the goal of justice in the judicial process is realized by the adoption of a legal, justified, motivated and fair court decision, which resolves the socio-legal conflict and ensures the protection of the rights, freedoms and interests of individuals. Keywords: principle of criminal proceedings, administration of justice in criminal proceedings, court, jurisdiction, goal of justice.
