Concept of criminal law system is described via comparative methods; 2. Key features of criminal law systems are highlighted; 3. Appropriateness of the Convention and of the European Court judgements regarding criminal law, taken in conjuncture, to the concept of criminal law system is confirmed; 4. Legal characteristics of the common and continental criminal law systems is given, as well as of the criminal law system created within the Convention; 5.
