THE PRINCIPLE OF LEGALITY IN CRIMINAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: The principle of legality in criminal law is one of the main characteristic of a democratic and liberal legal system. Historically, it was created in the time of political and legal liberalization. It is embedded not only in criminal codes of the European states, but also in their constitutions. The author offers a thorough historical, comparative and doctrinaire analysis of the content, scope, implications and social and legal relevance of the principle of legality in criminal law. His scrutiny extends to several legal systems, including that of Serbia, other European countries, the United States, and even Israel and Japan. In addition, the author examines the concept of the direct application of international criminal law in national courts.
