The sanction of an article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine reveals the legal aspect of criminal punishment. It determines the type and amount of punishment for a criminal offense. Depending on the degree and nature of the public danger, the sanction of a criminal law provision sets out what restrictions a person is subjected to, which may relate to specific personal, property, and other human and civil rights and freedoms provided for by the Constitution of Ukraine. The protection of human rights and freedoms is a priority for the state. The fight against crime is carried out through the imposition of punishment necessary and sufficient to reform the convicted person and prevent the commission of new criminal offenses. In the sanction of the article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code, the type and limit of punishment are established to achieve the goals set out in Article 50. Accordingly, the sanction should correspond to the social danger of the act, provide opportunities to individualize the punishment, consider the principles and general principles of sentencing, etc. The content of the sanction determines the achievement of the goals of punishment, including punishment, correction of the convicted person, and prevention of new criminal offenses. The degree of the socially dangerous act committed, the ability to individualize the punishment, considering the principles and general principles of sentencing, and being consistent with sanctions for crimes of a similar type and nature play an essential role in the design of sanctions. An analysis of the controversial issues is necessary to further improve the sanction of criminal law provisions. The issue of a large amplitude between lower and higher limits of punishment, lack of consistency in the central and qualifying elements of a criminal offense, and many main punishments in the sanctions for one criminal offense are discovered.

Keywords: sanction of criminal law provision, crime, individualization of punishment, content of sanction, combating crime.
