The Tasks Facing Soviet Justice Under Present Conditions

Abstract

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its Central Committee are giving a great deal of attention to reinforcement of legality and maintenance of law and order within the country, and to problems of combatting lawbreaking and crime. The proceedings of the 22nd Party Congress, the decisions of the Central Committee plenums and other Party documents contain important guidelines for improving the work of the agencies of the courts and procuracy. The attention given by the Party to these problems is not accidental. Under our conditions, crime is above all a manifestation of vestiges of the past. The struggle against lawbreaking and crime signifies a further strengthening of legality in all aspects of our life.
