Review

The restriction of the right of a person to freedom and personal integrity should be carried out exclusively with observance of constitutional guarantees of the protection of human rights and freedoms and taking into account international standards. The Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine contains detailed regulations on the grounds and procedure for the selection of preventive measures in the form of detention, periods of detention and their continuation. However, during the pre-trial investigation and litigation, there are problems related to the application of criminal procedural rules for determining the terms of detention and justifying the need for their continuation.

The purpose of the article is to find out the issues of observance of reasonable time periods in criminal proceedings when applying a preventive measure in the form of detention at the present stage of the reform of the criminal process in Ukraine.

Reasonableness of the terms of detention is conditioned by observance of the norms of the CPC and the requirements of the practice of the ECHR. Violations of the reasonableness of the terms of detention take place in cases of their inappropriate calculation, exceeding the prescribed periods of detention and unjustified extensions. As during the pre-trial investigation, as well as during the court proceedings, the period of validity of the decree on the detention or extension of the period of detention may not exceed sixty days. The absence of statutory time limits for trial and the maximum periods of detention during court proceedings should compensate for the principles of reasonable time, which makes it possible to assess them in accordance with the criteria defined by the CPC of Ukraine, taking into account the practice of the ECHR.
