Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the Romanian Criminal Code. Proper regulation of the institution of criminal responsibility and the existence of a coherent concept of its understanding is absolutely important for the criminal policy of the state. This article examines the main and additional types of punishments provided for crimes in this country, the principles under which the Criminal Code of Romania applies. The system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Romania was also outlined. A brief description of the Romanian legal system is given.

The focus is on current trends for improvement criminal law, factors that influence this process. Some changes to the Romanian Criminal Code are analyzed.

Formation of the rule of law requires adherence to the idea of «law above all else». The laws should express the objectively developing public relations, their tendencies for development and self-renewal, their self-organizing potential. And in the Criminal Code of Romania, the idea of a humane, just punishment «within» should be expressed as a codified legislative act.

In general, the Criminal Code of Romania, in its composition, content, main provisions, types of crimes, types of punishment, etc. is similar to the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Therefore, it can be argued that the new Criminal Code of Romania is of considerable interest to Ukraine. After a thorough study of the Criminal Code of Romania, other regulatory frameworks and practices, it will be possible to formulate proposals that would help improve the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
