The article is devoted to the analysis of the principle of legality (Nullum crimen sine lege) in the context of its consolidation in the national legislation of the Republic of Armenia and compliance with the provisions of the Rome Statute of the ICC. The purpose of the study is to identify the distinctive features of this principle and the specifics of its application at two levels of legal regulation. The provisions of the new Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia reflecting modern approaches to ensuring legality in criminal law are discussed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of law enforcement practice in Armenia, aimed at observing the principle of legality and ensuring legal certainty when bringing to criminal responsibility. The comparative legal analysis makes it possible to identify both the features of the national approach and the degree of compliance with international standards.
