The Death Penalty: «Fgainst or For» in Wartime Conditions

Abstract

The proposed work deals with the fundamentally important for criminal law, and for society as a whole, the problem of preserving and applying the death penalty for some especially serious crimes committed in wartime. It is noted that the appeal to the study of the death penalty, its role in the system of measures to combat crime is periodically updated in connection with various socio-political events. One of them is a special military operation. It is emphasized that the problem of the death penalty has a religious, moral, political dimension, is rooted in the people's sense of justice about justice. Therefore, it seems that the assertion that, allegedly, the legal consciousness of the population lags behind the legal consciousness of the legislator is not fully verified.

The article provides a historical-legal and comparative-legal analysis of the legislative regulation of the death penalty for crimes committed in wartime. It is pointed out that if the death penalty should not be applied in the peaceful, favorable social development of the country, then in wartime the degree of public danger of the corresponding range of crimes that entail numerous victims, including among the civilian population, immeasurably increases. It is proposed to provide for the death penalty for a terrorist act, treason, sabotage, resulting in the death of people, encroachment on the life of the head – the commander of a military unit.
