Annotation.

The article discusses theoretical and practical problems of implementing one of the most important principles of criminal procedural law - the principle of the prohibition of self-incrimination through the implementation of the right to silence. The relevance of the topic is due to the reform of the criminal procedural legislation of various countries, including the Republic of Armenia, which provides for a special procedure for criminal proceedings against legal entities due to the reorganization of criminal procedural legal relations. The author clarifies some legal issues about the right to silence of a legal entity as an accused, and conducts a comparative legal analysis of various legislations and judicial practice of foreign countries.
