Legislative experience of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in counteracting to customs crimes

Abstract

Author of this article examines the legislative experience of counteracting the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to customs crimes, and also assesses the possibility of its consideration by the Russian legislator in order to improve criminal legislation in this area. The author conducted a comparative analysis of the general logic of the construction of the criminal law of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Russian Federation, as well as separately articles providing for liability for customs crimes. This article highlights both common features and distinctive features in the construction of the criminal legislation of these countries. As a result of a detailed analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that for all the seemingly uniformity of criminal legislation in the countries studied, Vietnam’s experience in countering customs crime cannot be taken into account by the Russian Federation due to the dissimilarity of the logic of constructing special parts of the criminal codes of the countries.
