Abstract

The article is devoted to analyz the theoretical and legal consolidation of inadmissibility of evidence based on certain features. Much attention is given to Characterized the main grounds for recognizing an inadmissible evidence. It is stated that in the theory of criminal process, there are several approaches to such a classification, which necessitates their research in order to form the idea of the volume and instead of the institution of the inadmissibility of evidence. The systematization of the grounds for the recognition of inadmissible evidence will cover the entire set of rules on the inadmissibility of evidence.

The Criminal Procedure Code establishes the notion of inadmissibility of evidence, which emphasizes that the main reason for the admission of evidence to be inadmissible is a significant violation of human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, international treaties, the consent to be bound by which is provided by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, as well as any other evidence obtained through information obtained as a result of a substantial violation of human rights and freedoms. The article deals with approaches to the classification of grounds for the recognition of evidence inadmissible in the theory of criminal process. The existing classifications and systematized grounds for the recognition of evidence are inadmissible under the subjects of proof; by the stages of criminal proceedings; by procedural sources; the legal consequences of the recognition of evidence are inadmissible.

The rules of admissibility (inadmissibility) of evidence are not systematized in the CPC of Ukraine. The list of grounds for admitting evidence is inadmissible as indicative, since it does not take into account such grounds for the recognition of evidence as inadmissible as an inappropriate subject of evidence, violation of the procedural form, etc.

All criminal procedural activities are in some way combined with the evidence of criminal activity of the subjects of criminal proceedings. Formalism in identifying the grounds for the inadmissibility of information facilitates enforcement and ultimately contributes to the achievement of the objectives of criminal proceedings.
