The use of measures of state coercion, including house arrest, is always associated with restrictions on the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the individual, and therefore occupies one of the Central places in the field of legal regulation. However, the practice of using house arrest in some countries, including taking into account the decisions of the European court of human rights, shows that not all issues of legal regulation of this coercive measure have been resolved to a degree that satisfies science and practice, and there are violations of human rights enshrined in international legal standards, so scientific interest in problematic issues of house arrest is increasing.Despite the great contribution of the research conducted to the development of the Institute of house arrest, many issues related to the implementation of international human rights standards in the application of this measure of state coercion in criminal proceedings in Russia and some foreign countries have not been fully covered and require a comprehensive study. The purpose of the research is to analyze international standards in the field of human rights, as well as the experience of Russia and some foreign countries in the use of house arrest as a preventive measure in criminal proceedings, identify problematic legal issues in this part and formulate scientifically based recommendations for their solution (minimization).
