The article clarifies the historical and etymological aspects and the procedural nature of the peremptory challenge of the jury candidate, its significance for the formation of an impartial the court in criminal proceedings. In the context of the subject of the study, the authors generalize historical legal documents, available legislature and judicial practice of a number of states, belonging to the Anglo-American and Romano-Germanic legal systems. The study focuses on the situations in which it is expedient to declare an peremptory challenge to a jury candidate. The legal and psychological recommendations of foreign experts, who apply in their own practice the right to peremptory challenge of a candidate in jury, are considered. Іn the world there is a tendency to refuse or limit peremptory challenge to jury candidates. The introduction of the right to peremptory challenge of a candidate in a jury into our current legislation as a separate step for its improvement does not seem appropriate. The ECtHR's approach, which is incompatible with the idea of peremptory challenge, is of fundamental importance to the legal system of Ukraine. The experience of other states, that have waived or restricted the right to peremptory challenge, should not be ignored. (the length of the abstract is not less than 1800 printed characters)

Крикунов Олександр Вікторович. Невмотивований відвід кандидату у присяжні у кримінальному процесі (порівняльно-правове дослідження)
У статті з’ясовано історичний та етимологічний аспект, процесуальну природу невмотивованого відводу кандидату у присяжні, його значення для формування складу суду присяжних у кримінальному провадженні відповідно до інтересу його сторін. Узагальнено доступні пам’ятки права, акти законодавства та судову практику низки держав світу. З’ясовано ситуації, за яких доцільним є заявлення невмотивованого відводу кандидату у присяжні. Розглянуто юридичні та психологічні рекомендації закордонних фахівців. Автори дійшли висновку, що запровадження права на невмотивований відвід кандидату у присяжні у наше чинне законодавство як окремий крок для його вдосконалення не видається доцільним.

When regulating the procedure for forming a jury in the world, both motivated and unmotivated forms of challenge are provided [1, p. 22].
The idea of the right to unmotivated dismissal was formulated by the well-known legal philosopher and lawyer Cesare Beccaria: "it would be fair if the accused could, within certain limits, dismiss judges who seem suspicious to him. If this is given to him without hindrance for a certain time, then the condemnation will be perceived by him as his own sentence against himself" [2, c. 253]. We can agree that the authority of a court decision is possible only if there are no doubts about the court's impartiality.
A peremptory challenge is an exclusive element in the procedure for forming a jury [3, p. 156]. I. Ya. Foynytskyi, a classic of the criminal process, convincingly and easily explained this situation as follows. With regard to crown judges (in the modern analogy – professional), whose number is small and whose replacement by others is not so easy, the possibility of recusal should be provided within narrower limits. No state can give place here to the reasons that establish the inability to be a judge due to the fear of the party alone, which is not checked by the court and which is recognized in relation to jurors as the right to an unmotivated challenge [5, p. 277].
