However, on the territory of Ukraine, a significant amount of poisonous substances are used in the industry, in domestic life, in medical and scientific institutions, which may exert a detrimental influence on people and environment. Moreover, various substances may be involved in the production of chemical weapons.The article is aimed at investigating the legal and regulatory framework of Ukraine, which is necessary for the effective functioning of the chemical safety system.At the beginning of the XXI century, a powerful international legal framework has been established in order to prohibit the development, production, stockpiling, application and disposal of the chemical weapons.

The article examines the dialectical relationship between the balance of private and public interests and the effectiveness of legal regulation of the dual-use goods. The concepts of dual-use goods and the legal regime of dual-use goods are examined and the conclusion is made that there is an interdependence between the categories «fair balance of private and public interests» and «the form and content of the dual-use goods regime». The structure of the legal regime system, consisting of interconnected subsystems that are in functional unity with each other, is analyzed. The dynamic property of the legal regime of dual-use goods to change the status of the goods and the status of the subject, depending on the state of the balance of private and public interests, is revealed. A special mechanism has been identified for regulating the system of the legal regime for dual-use goods, arising from the process of unification of legal norms, both at the international and national levels. The author proposed measures to improve the mechanism for regulating the legal regime of dual-use goods, based on the achievements of scientific and technological progress. Thus, increasing inter-industry relations through the unification of legal norms, as well as the use of modern technologies in the export control process, will ensure a fair balance between private and public interests. Meanwhile, state intervention in the property relations of individuals should be of an exceptional nature, providing for the existence of a mechanism for judicial protection of the weak side, for example, in the form of an institution for consumer protection. It is a focused approach based on the additional role of the state that will improve the effectiveness of the dual-use goods regime, as well as eliminate archaic methods of legal regulation of the turnover of dual-use goods based on the permissive type of regulation. In that way, the system measures that allow integrating advanced technologies into the mechanism of dual-use goods regime include: - introduction of a risk-based approach in the export control system; - transition to the notification procedure for export control; - transition to automatic identification of dual-use goods; - creation of a unified technological platform for controlling the turnover of dual-use goods; - creating a virtual image of dual-use goods with the function of saving the history of their use; - chipping of dual-use goods; - use of distribution registers in transactions with dual-use goods.

The paper features legislative regulation of physical education and sports in different historical periods. The research objective was to describe the legal framework of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods in order to use the experience in modern conditions. The study was based on the following scientific principles and methods. The principle of scientific research made it possible to use of a wide range of published and unpublished archival documents and scientific sources. The principle of historicism allowed the authors to identify the state of legal regulation in various historical epochs, as well as the nature of the changes they underwent. The comparative legal method helped identify the nature of the legal framework, its content in the Soviet period, and the qualitative changes that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As a result, the authors identified a number of stages in the development of the legal framework in question. The period of the Soviet legal norms lasted from the mid 1980s to early 1990s. During the transitional period of the 1990s, Russia was actively searching for legal regulation: the basic legislation was adopted in 1993, and the Law itself entered into force in 1999. The third period began when the state law on physical education and sport was adopted in 2008. Soon after that, a similar document was released in Kuzbass. In this regard, the development of sports law is a system of legal norms that regulate relations in the field of physical education and sports at the Federal and regional levels. The results of the research can be used in the development of the regulatory framework by Federal and regional legislative bodies, the scientific community, and lawyers involved in sports and physical education law.

La importancia de las contrataciones con el Estado ha dado lugar, en los últimos veinte años, al desarrollo de un marco regulatorio cada vez más amplio y especializado, en el cual la figura del arbitraje ha cobrado un protagonismo singular, dado que el propio ordenamiento peruano abstrajo de este mecanismo de solución de controversias sus características originarias, dotándole una identidad propia en este ámbito de aplicación. Con los diversos cambios normativos que ha sufrido el régimen, el arbitraje en contrataciones con el Estado ha sido objeto de numerosos ajustes, tanto en lo sustantivo como en lo adjetivo, encontrándonos hoy en día ante una disciplina especializada que aún está en proceso de consolidación debido a que, si bien se han dado importantes pasos para la compatibilización del arbitraje con nociones e instituciones propias del Derecho Público, todavía incide significativamenteen su desarrollo la frágil estabilidad del marco legal que lo contempla y la presencia de deficiencias regulatorias que no han podido coadyuvar a superar problemas suscitados en la práctica arbitral relacionados a su propia aplicabilidad e, incluso, al rol de los árbitros. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo graficar —desde una perspectiva analítica— el actual panorama del arbitraje en contrataciones con el Estado, a partir de las principales reglasincorporadas en las recientes modificaciones a la Ley N.º 30225, Ley de Contrataciones del Estado, y a su Reglamento, cuya pertinencia y eficacia será objeto de reflexión en relación al contexto antes descrito, a partir de la ratio legis que se desprende de las mismas. The importance of contracting with the State has given rise to the development of an increasingly broad and specialized regulatory framework, in the last twenty years, in which the arbitration figure has taken on a unique role, as the Peruvian legal order abstract of this mechanism of dispute resolution its origin features, giving itself own identity in this field of application. With the various regulatory changes that the regime has gone through, arbitrationin contracting with the State has been object to numerous adjustments, as in the substantive as in the adjective, facing today a specialized discipline that is still in the process of consolidation due to, although important steps have been taken for the compatibility of arbitration with notions and institutions of Public Law, the fragile stability of the legal framework that contemplates it and the presence of regulatory deficiencies that have not been able to contributeto overcome problems raised in arbitration practice related to their own applicability, they still have a significant impact, and even to the role of arbitrators. In this sense, the present work aims to graph —from an analytical perspective— the current overview of arbitration in contracting with the State, based on the main rules incorporated in the recent amendments to Law N.° 30225, Law on State Contracting, and its Regulation, whose relevance and effectivenesswill be object to reflection in relation to the context described above, based on the ratio legis that emerges from them.

<p>The article presents the main assumptions concerning the functioning of Natura 2000 sites in Europe, with particular emphasis on Polish regulations. These areas of high natural value directly influence the shape of nature conservation and the state of the climate. In this latter context, legal norms and legislators face the challenge of finding such a legal framework to prevent the progressive degradation of the climate. The functioning Natura 2000 sites in Poland as one of the forms of nature protection may be helpful in this respect, provided that the plans of protection tasks are adapted to the changing environmental conditions.</p>

The article analyzes problems of providing free secondary legal aid in Ukraine. Based on the studied statistical indicators, it is determined, that the most unresolved issues are the availability and quality of legal aid. It is stated, that in order to overcome these obstacles, the state, represented by the authorized bodies, cooperates with many international organizations, participates in international technical assistance projects and provides communication with international and national public organizations. Based on the study, it is noted, that today attention should be paid not only to highlight the possibility of obtaining free secondary legal aid, but also to the dissemination of mechanisms for obtaining such assistance and their features. It is determined, that today in Ukraine the state and public organizations are actively working to increase the level of availability of free legal aid in Ukraine. The Law of Ukraine «On Free Legal Aid» contains a detailed list of persons entitled, in particular, to receive free secondary legal aid, the rights and obligations of entities to provide such assistance. However due to the abstract nature of legal norms and the style of their presentation, there is a need in society to explain these regulations to the population. To this end, various activities are carried out, in particular, cooperation with the media, publishing brochures, distributing educational videos on the Internet, which has a positive character and, as a consequence, achieving the goal – increasing the availability of free legal aid in Ukraine. The participation of representatives of the international community in providing free legal aid is analyzed. It was stated, that the representatives of the Council of Europe recommended that the national institutions improve the legal framework for the provision of free legal aid in order to make the institution more accessible and understandable to those entitled to receive it. In addition, the Council of Europe recommended improving the area of ​​criminal justice in terms of coherence of efforts to provide each suspect or accused with affordable and quality legal assistance. It is noted, that the quality of free legal aid depends on many factors. In particular, lawyers discussed the thesis of incentives to provide quality assistance, as in a significant number of cases the lawyer interferes with concentration, and as a consequence, reduces the level of positive decisions. It is determined, that free legal aid does not provide support to citizens in applying to international judicial institutions, such as the European Court of Human Rights

The present study aims to offer a review of measures taken by the Romanian authorities in the field of audiovisual media regulation during the state of emergency instituted in March 2020 following the COVID-19 outbreak. The legal framework has been adjusted, drawing both from extant norms, such as the 2003 Constitution of Romania, and from newly adapted legal norms such as the Presidential Decree declaring the state of emergency. Also, the competent authorities have been invested with additional powers, this being the case of the National Audiovisual Council and the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications. These institutions have faced multiple challenges regarding the clash between freedom of opinion and freedom of speech and the right to correct information of the public and the campaigns to counter misinformation.


Chapter 15 examines the transnational legal framework for intermediated securities. It describes the shift from a world in which securities were primarily held and traded in paper form to a market in which they are held in immobilized or dematerialized form and traded through intermediaries. This shift required changes to national and regional legislation and resulted in the adoption of two international treaties: the Hague and Geneva Securities Conventions. The chapter pays attention to aspects of property law, the law of obligations, insolvency law, conflict of laws, and the regulatory framework for intermediated securities. Particular information is provided on financial collateral transactions and close-out netting.

Sexual violence is a type of gender-based violence (GBV), as it is one of the different types of violence that is exerted against women. Sexual violence infringes fundamental human rights, and denies women’s dignity and self-determination, personal development, and well-being. Despite international treaties and a regulatory framework that legally protects Colombian women against sexual violence, it is necessary to know the effectiveness of this regulatory framework in Colombia. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to examine criminal legislation on crimes of sexual violence in Colombia with a dual purpose: first, to analyze procedural guarantees for women victims of sexual violence; second, to determine obstacles for victims of sexual violence in accordance with the legal framework. We used a legal interpretation method to perform an analysis and interpret the law. The results found that, although sexual violence is considered a type of crime, procedural guarantees are not effective as victims encounter serious obstacles with negative consequences, such as the violation of fundamental human rights.
