description The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the lack of uniformity in determining the subject of protection of crimes performed on human corpses or their resting place. The conclusions were drawn from the analysis of 48 penal codes, including 15 European, 12 Asian, 9 African and 11 American. It has been shown that the investigated offenses do not constitute a homogeneous group due to the statutory object of protection. An attempt was also made to answer the question whether non-legal factors, such as religion, social development, economic development or the level of democratization in selected countries have an impact on the definition of the object of protection of given crimes.
