Conciliarity as the moral basis of the Eurasian criminal procedure

Purpose of study. The paper makes a detailed analysis of the concept of conciliarity, a manifestation of Orthodoxy as an element of cultural identity of peoples of Russia and Eurasia. The purpose is to characterize conciliarity as the moral basis of relations within the criminal procedure, to demonstrate how the epistemic logic in the Eurasian concept of criminal procedure and influence of conciliarity on the development of the criminal procedure participants correlate with the moral compass.

Conclusions. The investigation concludes that conciliarity as a manifestation of Orthodoxy is the moral basis of Eurasian criminal procedure. The conclusion is based on the following arguments: epistemic logic receives moral content from conciliarity; the combination of the moral content and events of the life in the criminal procedure contributes to the formation of the criminal procedure participants as personalities with the moral compass. Conciliarity, manifested in individual and collective personalities, contributes to the real-life communication between criminal procedure participants and unites all types of personalities into a single organism aimed to realize the common purpose: to investigate and clear crimes as forms of sins, unorthodoxy and departure from God’s Commandments.
