Abstract
The main purpose of the research is to develop an optimal mechanism of appeal as the most important criminal procedural means of ensuring legality in pre-trial criminal proceedings and protecting the rights and legitimate interests of its participants and other persons involved in the relevant legal relations. Within the framework of this goal, specific tasks were expressed and resolved: the study of international and domestic legal bases for regulating appeals in criminal proceedings, scientific doctrine, views of individual scientists on the problems of the concept, content and mechanism of appeal in pre-trial proceedings, the functioning of this mechanism in terms of the implementation of the principles of appeal, the internal content of this subjective right, ways and means of its implementation, including procedural rules for filing a complaint, appeals to officials and bodies authorized to consider complaints, demanding knowledge of actions (inaction ) and decisions illegal in order to protect the rights and legitimate interests.
Important for the study was the hypothesis about the imperfection of the legislative model of the right to appeal in pre-trial proceedings in general and its individual aspects, the presence of shortcomings of regulatory legal regulation, as evidenced by negative assessments of scientists and practitioners.
