Summary/Abstract: The majority of contemporary criminal laws provides for criminal-law protection of judiciary and other entities dealing with the administrative, offense, disciplinary or other proceedings prescribed by the law. It is in the best interest of the society to have the decisions of judicial and other entities be based on properly established facts, which is impossible to achieve if the persons involved in the proceeding willfully tell an untruth. The legal importance and complex nature of this incrimination requires efficient measures of the government bodies in order to prevent the adverse effects of the falsehood for the society and to determine the criminal liability of perjurers.
