Besides the legal acts in force, the amendment and supplement drafts and accompanying documents of the Special Part of the CC played an important role in the research. Other important research sources are the jurisprudence of Constitutional Court on the criminal law issues, rulings of the Senate of the SCL and summary-reviews of the Criminal Division of the SCL addressing the provisions of the Special Part of the CC, as well as rulings adopted until 31 December 2020 by an extended panel of seven judges and a plenary session of Criminal Division of the SCL that provide a new interpretation of legal norm and corrections of the current practice. Finally, the ECHR, CJEU and UN Human Rights Committee practice on the criminal law issues also played an important role in the research. [...].
