Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the place, as well as the importance of international legal sources in the system of Russian criminal law, considering the changes that have occurred in the state policy of the Russian Federation. The ways in which international law affects national criminal law are considered: the implementation and direct effect of international legal norms, the influence of the practice of international courts and tribunals, and international cooperation in combating crime. The debatable issues of the application of international legal provisions while regulating criminal law issues are analyzed, and the types of sources of international law are investigated. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of including a few international legal sources, in particular, generally recognized principles and norms of international law, doctrine, as well as decisions of international courts, in the system of Russian criminal law. It has been established that these sources can be used at the national level in solving issues related to the criminal law sphere.
