Abstract The paper discusses the problem of stabilizing the level of greenhouse gases and a political approach to its solution. International agreements and their impact on the economies and ecology of countries are presented. The documents submitted in accordance with the order dated November 8, 2018 No. 661 “On the approval of statistical tools for the organization of the federal statistical observation of atmospheric air protection by the federal service for supervision in the field of environmental management” in the period from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed. The dependence of the reduction of emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere is correlated with the measures taken by the government of the Russian Federation to adapt to climate change. The analysis of methods of accounting for the absorption of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by such countries as Canada, the USA, and Russia is carried out. The disadvantages and advantages of the methods of accounting for carbon sequestration by forests and their influence on the research results are listed. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop an effective methodology for accounting for the absorption of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by forests to create an independent system for accounting for the level of greenhouse gases, as well as Russia’s entry into the international quota market, which will ensure the development of the economy and projects for improving the environment.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.

AVİM, for some time, has been drawing attention for developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) that threaten the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Confirming this foresight, the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the report he has recently presented to the UN Secretary General stated the view that BiH is in imminent danger of breaking apart, and there is a very real prospect of a return to conflict. During the UN Security Council UNSC) debate, the representative of the USA expressed concern over Milorad Dodik statements indicating an intention to withdraw Republika Srpska entirely from the Government and described this move as a dangerous path for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider region. The Russian Federation (RF) insisted on the closure of the Office of the High Representative and openly declaresd that RF does not recognize the new High Representative. In the UNSC debate, Croatian representative made a "revisionist" statement, while the Serbian representative expressed balanced and careful views. Croatia was supported by the EU Delegation. The declaration of support by the EU for Croatia has a content that could lead to a dangerous path to the more revisionist developments in BiH. It is difficult to say that it is appropriate for the EU to make such a statement supporting the one constituent people at such a critical time. Bosniaks, one of the constituent and the most populous peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, were left without support and alone in the Security Council. At this critical juncture, Turkey, as a member of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council, seems to be the only country that can show its support to the Bosniaks, reveal the EU's inaction and its partisan position in BiH, and not give an opportunity to those who want to drive the Bosniaks into the corner.

Правительство Российской Федерации утвердило план развития инфраструктуры Северного морского пути (далее – СМП) до 2035 г. Грузооборот Северного морского пути к 2035 г. должен увеличиться в восемь раз, достигнув показателя в 160 млн т. Российская Федерация ведёт активную работу по обновлению ледокольного флота и портовой инфраструктуры. В Российской Федерации СМП рассматривается как исторически сложившаяся национальная транспортная коммуникация, что, на наш взгляд, соответствует нормам международного права. Вместе с тем, не все зарубежные государства придерживаются российского подхода к правовому статусу СМП. Так, например, Соединенные Штаты Америки заявляют о необходимости интернационализации СМП по мере освобождения данной водной артерии от льда. В качестве примера усиливающегося политического и экономического давления западных стран в отношении России можно привести отказ не-скольких крупных компаний от использования СМП для перевозки грузов под предлогом охраны окружающей среды. Ряд других зарубежных стран также имеют свою точку зрения по вопросу определения правового статуса и режима судоходства по Северному морскому пути. Поскольку Франция является одним из ведущих государств Европейского союза, членом Североатлантического альянса, одним из двенадцати неарктических государств, являющихся наблюдателями в Арктическом совете, а также государством, которое обозначило себя как «полярное государство», считаем целесообразным рассмотреть французскую международно-правовую доктрину о статусе Северного морского пути. The Government of the Russian Federation approved the plan for the development of the Northern Sea Route (hereinafter – SMP) until 2035. The cargo turnover of the Northern Sea Route by 2035 is expected to increase eight-fold up to 160 million tons. The Russian Federation is actively working to renew the icebreaker fleet and port infrastructure. In Russia, the SMP is regarded as a historically established national transport communication which, in our opinion, corresponds to the norms of international law. At the same time, not all foreign states adhere to the Russian approach to the legal status of the SMP. For example, the USA advocates the internationalization of the SMP. The popular wisdom is that the SMP is the international strait. As an example of the increasing political and economic pressure of Western countries toward Russia is the refusal of several large companies to use SMP under the pretext of environmental protection. As France is one of the leading states of the European Union, a member of the NATO, one of the twelve non-Arctic states that are observers in the Arctic Council and a state which identifies itself as a “polar” state, examining the French international legal doctrine concerning the status of the Northern Sea Route has to be relevant.

The concept of self-employment as a form of individual entrepreneurship has been considered. A detailed analysis of the experience of foreign countries in establishing the institution of the self-employment,common and distinctive features of the applied models of the development of self-employment in European countries, Australia and the USA, has been presented. Much attention has been paid both the characteristic of the category “self-employed citizens” and the review of their areas of activity in Russia today. Available mechanisms and tools for the development of self-employment have been analyzed. Particular attention has been paid to the analysis of the concept of self-employment and its forms, presented in legislative acts, which serve as the basis for effective regulation by the government. Conclusions and recommendations of the authors on the application of the new special tax treatment on the income of self-employed citizens, implemented as part of a pilot project in several regions of the Russian Federation, have been presented.

Emergency Measures

The purpose of the article is to consider the peculiarities of investigative and judicial actions that are caused by their postponement, the inability to attract a lawyer, as well as the suspension of the preliminary investigation during the period of emergency measures taken by the government of the Russian Federation in response to the outbreak of the coronavirus infection pandemic (COVID-19). The authorsanalyze the features of the courts activity in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, which is associated with minimizing the personal reception of citizens and submitting documents via electronic Internet reception offices of courts or by Russian Post, as well as the possibility of conducting online court sessions. The authors come to the conclusion that the judicial system was not sufficiently prepared for the pandemic, and therefore it is urgently necessary to adopt a special normative act that would regulate the implementation of judicial proceedings in emergency situations, allowing to continue to consider urgent cases, including materials on the election, extension, cancellation or change of a preventive measure.

In Russia, the reform of the regulatory guillotine is being implemented in the field of control and supervisory activity. It should result in a new regulatory system formed according to the principles specified in the key federal laws: «On state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation» (Law on Control) and «On mandatory requirements in the Russian Federation» (Law on Mandatory Requirements) adopted in August 2020. In the field of industrial safety, this process was launched by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 1192, which will come into force on January 1, 2021. The main provisions are discussed in the article, which are related to the Law on Control and the Law on Mandatory Requirements. The Law on Control establishes the priority of preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk of causing harm in relation to the control activities, the grounds for carrying out control (supervisory) activities, the types of these activities in the forms of interaction with the controlled person and without such, the procedure for presentation of the results of control (supervisory) activity. The Law on Mandatory Requirements establishes that the provisions of regulatory legal acts should enter into force either from March 1 or September 1, but not earlier than 90 days after their official publication, and their validity period should not exceed 6 years. The drafts of regulatory legal acts developed by the federal executive bodies are subject to regulatory impact assessment. With a view to ensuring systematization of mandatory require ments, their register is kept. The federal executive body prepares a report on the achievement of the goals of mandatory requirements introduction. By January 1, 2021, 10 resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation, 48 federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety and 9 other regulatory legal acts of Rostechnadzor should be adopted. The drafts of all the documents are already prepared, some of the acts are completing the process of discussion and approval.

Consumers’ interest in organic products is increasing globally. As IFOAM 2016 report, only 1.2 % of the land has been utilized in organic agriculture method. The overall organic market has achieved 89.7 billion $ in 2016 in that, & 48.4 a billion in sales accounted for the USA and German alone. Total registered organic producer in the worldwide is 2.7 million in that India is the leading country which has 835,200 organic producers. But many of them are a small farmer, and they had shared 1.49 million hectares only. The Government of India (GOI) and the state governments have taken several steps to improve the regulatory mechanism and frame several schemes to incentivize organic farming. 2017 December, Food Standards and Safety Authority of India (FSSAI) have recognized both the certification systems (NPOP and PGS-India) valid for organic food products. From these steps, GOI has tried to create confidence in the organic products, so that, domestic consumers and export countries can trust Indian organic products. But still, the organic sector in India suffered from some unique characteristic that is the absence of proper branding, package, consumer awareness, purchasing power, and supply chain issues (Agarwal, 2018).
