Filimonov Andrey Anatolievich

The article is devoted to criminal punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities. The author analyzes the legal norms of the domestic criminal legislation and the criminal legislation of a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, on the interpretation of the punishment. The author draws attention to the difference in legal formulations and approaches concerning penalties related to deprivation of rights in the criminal legislation of the APR countries and domestic criminal legislation. A comparative analysis of the criminal law of Russia and Asia-Pacific countries allows us to conclude that in terms of the appointment and execution of punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities, the Russian criminal law is more concretized. The criminal legislation of Russia pays much more attention to this type of punishment, highlighting it among all other types of punishment as specific. In Russian criminal law, the penalty of deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities is regulated by specific articles, both in terms of appointment and in terms of execution, while in the criminal legislation of the APR countries it is not interpreted in detail.
