Keywords: objective truth; criminal proceedings

Summary/Abstract: On the grounds of the analysis made the following conclusions are reached: the objective truth is a standard important for the moral, and to a large extent for the law, which is to reach widely applicable and indisputable conclusions based on the presence of verifiable facts that do not depend on subjective evaluations; the judicial (litigation) truth is based on the objective truth as it objectifies it by the use of the methods specific for the law, in particular, by including the objective truth in one or another subsystem of law; however, the judicial truth cannot be considered a „standard“ for the objective truth. The restrictions resulting from methods specific for the law cannot allow such a „standard-based“ determination of the objective truth; the objective truth is determined in its judicial form by the respective system characteristic of one or another branch of law.
