РОЗВИТОК ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА В СФЕРІ КРИМІНАЛЬНОГО ПРОЦЕСУ ТА ДОКАЗУВАННЯ В СЛОВАЦЬКІЙ РЕСПУБЛІЦІ (1993-2021)
У статті автор акцентує увагу на законодавчому розвитку кримінального судочинства та доказування в період після утворення Словацької Республіки. У цій статті особлива увага приділяється питанню доказів і засобів доказування. Також окремо йдеться про правове регулювання використання інформаційно-технічних засобів. Коротко пропонуються можливі напрямки розвитку у сфері доказів, що відповідають сучасному стану розвитку науки і техніки, а також іншим змінам. Під час дослідження використано наукові методи історичного аналізу та порівняльно-правові методи. Розвиток у цій сфері здійснюється постійно, і правове регулювання в сфері доказування у кримінальному процесі Словацької Республіки неминуче підлягатиме оновленню.
Ключові слова: кримінальне провадження, докази, засоби доказування, інформаційно-технічні засоби, інформаційні технології
