International law is a powerful generator of factors for the creation of criminal procedure security system. However, the mechanism of implementation of international law in national, Russian legislation causes certain difficulties. The problem is the imperfection of regulating the implementation process of international law within a particular state. The institute of public protection and safety of participants in the Russian criminal proceedings is now sufficiently developed. However, it is no longer possible to investigate effectively the problems in law enforcement within the same branch of jurisprudence, such as criminal proceedings. It is absolutely necessary to obtain knowledge from related areas of law, as well as from other disciplines (e.g., psychology, conflict resolution). Also positive examples of implementation of the state protection and ensure the safety of persons, used by some foreign countries are highly required in the Russian legislation and law enforcement practice.At present, the accumulation of a sufficient number of laws and legal acts can be observed which regulate the state protection of participants of the Russian criminal process. Improved security of the individual in criminal proceedings is directly related to the cross-sectoral research; generalization of positive examples of law enforcement practices; sufficient methodological support for law enforcers (investigators, prosecutors and judges); adequate funding of state protection measures.
