International-legal bases of differentiation in cases of terrorist crimes, as well as infringing the safety of aviation flights and sea navigation

Objective: to substantiate the idea that the bases of differentiation in cases of terrorist crimes, as well as infringing the safety of aviation and sea navigation in the Russian criminal procedure are embedded in international legal acts ratified by the Russian Federation. Methods: the methodological basis of the research is dialectic approach. Also specific scientific methods were used: systemic-structural, formal-logic, etc. Results: basing on the analysis of international legal acts ratified by the Russian Federation, it was concluded that these documents may establish special procedural rules of proceedings for certain categories of crimes. In addition, special procedural rules of proceedings for certain categories of criminal cases should be applied only for a limited group of crimes, stated in corresponding articles of the Russian Criminal Code. Scientific novelty: the article draws attention to the need for clarification of the procedural order in terrorist cases, as well as in cases of offences against the safety of aviation and shipping, which would develop the provisions of international legal documents ratified by the Russian Federation. Practical value: the provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in the legislative process, as well as in scientific and pedagogical activity.
