The importance of adhering to a balanced approach with respect for the rights and interests of the individual and the citizen, as well as the interests of the state, is emphasized when deciding on the fulfillment of a request for international legal assistance. The importance of timely optimization of the existing criminal procedural rules governing issues in the sphere of international cooperation within the framework of criminal proceedings is focused. It is concluded that the sphere of interstate cooperation in relation to the disclosure of crimes is an extremely important segment of interstate relations. This statement is of particular relevance in the context of the globalization of the modern world, which accordingly influences the increase in transnational crime rates. Under these conditions, operational interaction between States on combating and preventing crime can become an important outpost for transnational crime. One of the necessary and necessary factors for effective interaction between states is the proper regulatory definition of such interstate relations. This aspect undoubtedly applies to the scope of the domestic legislation of each of the States Parties to such agreements and, accordingly, to the participants of interstate relations in the sphere of cooperation in relation to crime detection. In this context, the domestic legislator should respond promptly to changes in the current world development situation and the specifics of interstate relations, which should also be adjusted to the requirements of today, which will facilitate the most effective interaction between the states, both in the sphere of combating and crime in general, in particular, in the criminal procedural sphere to resolve issues related to the execution of requests (orders) for international legal assistance in the territory of our country.
