This paper deals with the analysis of the texts of the criminal laws of the CIS countries for the purpose of reflecting the signs of voluntary refusal to commit crime. The specifics of the methods for describing the conditions of voluntary refusal for the perpetrator of the crime, as well as for other accomplices, are disclosed. The study shows the heterogeneity of approaches to the number of signs of voluntary refusal and the varying degree of completeness of their description. It is determined that for all the variety of formulations of voluntary refusal it is possible to outline common features typical of all criminal laws of the CIS countries.
