The new RA Criminal Code, which entered into force on July 1, 2022, provides for another innovation: the possibility of applying the criminal law by analogy, which was prohibited until now.
In accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 23 of the RA Criminal Code: “The norms of the General Part of the Criminal Law can be applied by analogy, if it does not worsen the person’s condition.”
It should be noted that the application of the analogy is intended only for the norms of the General Part of the Code, provided that it does not worsen the person’s condition.
