Journal Title: Правові новели - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The publication is devoted to such a social phenomenon as witchcraft, its concept, evolution, varieties, problems of establishing criminal liability for practices related to the magic craft and to the first attempts of prosecuting persons whose activity considered immoral and violated defined criminal legal regulations of that time. Considering this, an excursus into history has been conducted to study the evolution of these norms. In addition, we have identified countries in the criminal law of which today exist norms related to the responsibility for witchcraft and also have been identified specific signs, the presence of which makes it possible to bring to responsibility for practicing magic (witchcraft). To achieve this goal, not only the norms of criminal legislation of relevant foreign countries have been analyzed, but also documents of international organizations, in which can be seen the need to resolve this issue as well.
