The specifics of criminal responsibility and punishment of minors in both the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Code of the Azerbaijan Republic are regulated separately. At the same time, there are both coincident and different prescriptions in these codes. The paper identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the relevant criminal law provisions in the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Azerbaijan Republic. In the course of analyzing the criminal codes, the author shows which standards of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation may be useful to the Criminal Code of the Azerbaijan Republic and vice versa. Some provisions on the criminal responsibility of minors are proposed to be removed from the criminal legislation of both countries, while others are to be introduced into it.
