Abstract: Opponents of the criminalization of illegal enrichment, including a number of Azerbaijani scholars, believe that Article 20 of the UN Convention against Corruption contradicts the canons of law, fundamental rights of the individual, other international treaties, the Constitution and criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Wherein, references are made to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention for the Protection of Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the American Convention on Human Rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, the ASEAN Declaration of Human Rights and other international documents in which the presumption of innocence, freedom of self-incrimination, placing the burden of proof on the prosecution party are indicated as the basic inalienable rights of the individual.
