The desire of the international community to adopt a number of normative documents that would prevent possible abuse of public authorities ‘ powers in the administration of justice in criminal cases, when they impose penalties and then execute them, as well as fixing a
certain standard in the activities of law enforcement and judicial bodies, and contributing to the General humanization of criminal justice, contributed to the isolation of international criminal Executive law. Part of such standards is the international legal standards on alternative penalties to imprisonment, which have the character of an institution within the framework of international penal enforcement law.
