The modern criminal procedural law is successfully developing. However, there are a number of problems that require theoretical research both by established scientists in this field and by young scientists (post-graduate students).

The scientific significance of the results of the conference is that they complement the theory of law, develop scientific understanding of various aspects of the subject under research and also contribute to the resolution of legal problems. The practical significance of the conference is due to the fact that the provisions and conclusions formulated in the reports of its participants are accompanied by concrete proposals and recommendations that can be applied in the development of new and improving existing normative legal acts, be taken into account by authorized state bodies in the course of their enforcement activities.
The conference is organised in co-operation of the Belarusian State University and Humboldt University of Berlin under financial support by the German Federal Foreign Office.
