Information and communication technologies play a key role in the international cooperation in criminal cases, influencing its effectiveness and efficiency / timeliness. However, in domestic legal regulation an ambiguous situation has developed in this area. On the one hand, Russia is actively involved in the development of universal international norms that simplify the international cooperation in criminal cases related to crimes committed by using information and communication technologies. Modern mechanisms including domestic law have been proposed in this direction. On the other hand, domestic legal regulation does not take into account modern trends to use information and communication technologies and does not meet the modern needs of the international cooperation in crimi-nal matters. Provisions concerning the analyzed sphere are in various legislative acts and by-laws, which are primarily focused to be used in detective activities. Domestic criminal procedure legislation does not regulate the use of information and communication technologies in the international cooperation as well as the use of information obtained with their assistance. Steps taken by the Russian Federation at the United Nations Organization indicate the formation of concept of a simplified mechanism for the international cooperation in criminal proceedings by using information and communication technologies and the corresponding optimization of domestic criminal procedure legislation, confirm the desire of the Russian Federation to apply the simplified mechanism for interaction among competent authorities of states in a wide range of crimes.
