The principle of non bis in idem in international criminal law and the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia

In the light of the adoption of the new Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia on 05.05.2021 and the ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Court of Justice and the commitments made to implement the provisions of the latter, it is extremely important to study the internationally recognized principle of non bis in idem (“Not twice for the same thing”), which has received a slightly different framework in the new Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia. The article analyzes various aspects of the principle under consideration, including cases when a person brought to a different type of responsibility cannot be criminally liable twice for the same act, as well as the content of the phrase “for the same acts”.
