In modern legal literature quite a large number of papers are devoted to the problems of legal regulation in which legal scholars try to improve the texts of normative legal acts. However, most of the problems in this area occur for another reason. They occur because of inconsistency of legal norms with regard to the relations that they are supposed to regulate. The paper not only attempts to present a different view on the process of lawmaking. It also suggests some ways to improve the procedure for creating normative legal acts on the basis of the theory of the balance between subjects of law. The article focuses on the relations that develop with regard to the territory as the most obvious physically expressed standing area determining relations between people. The paper has applied the main provisions of the previously developed theory of correlation of subjects of law in the framework of which the relations between different participants of legal relations concerning a certain territory are being analyzed. In addition, the author investigates the problems of the current legal regulation and the practice of implementation of legal relations. The modern legal doctrine has been analyzed in the context of the issue under consideration. The whole set of the presented approaches allowed the author to build logically more correct, in contrast to the existing, procedure for creating the rules of law concerning the territory. As the result of the study, the author suggests using new approaches to law-making processes on the basis of the identified problems of the balance between legal norms and relations that they are expected to regulate. The paper also describes the methodology of creating lawmaking and contains a case study of transformation of the existing normative legal regulation in Sevastopol.

The article analyzes the approaches to the definition of legal means and provides the author's definition of this legal category. The author determines that the mechanism of law-making is maximally combined with the law-formation process and is a set of legal activities in this area. In addition, the article analyzes the stages of the law-making mechanism: the stage of preliminary formation of state will (project preparation), which begins with the stage of decision-making on project preparation, and the stage when work on the project enters the official phase and is carried out by the law-making body. Also, the author considers the problem of distinguishing between the mechanisms of law-making and law-formation and provides common criteria for both categories. The author of the article concludes that the main elements of the mechanism of law-making are legal means (in relation to the mechanism of law-making they are regulated by regulations of authorized state bodies for the adoption, amendment, repeal of legal norms); normative-legal acts, according to which the specified activity is carried out; acts of application of law; legal relations between the subjects of the law-making mechanism for streamlining and improving the law-making process. Also, according to the author, each stage of lawmaking consists of stages of law formation, each of which requires its own legal means to optimize this process: at the first stage there are objective prerequisites in the legal regulation of certain social relations, while the second stage of law-making associated with the formation of the very idea of the draft regulation or other official source of law. Keywords: legal means, mechanism of law-making.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

An accomplished fact is the development of the cryptocurrency market, including in Russia. At the same time, the Russian legal regulation mechanism has not yet been formed, and the existing draft law on the circulation of digital financial assets has not yet been agreed. Growing demand for cryptocurrencies from investors carries systemic risks, as well as threats of using digital financial assets for illegal purposes. In this regard, regulators in different countries are forced to take measures to legislate the circulation of such assets. At the same time, such measures can be quite different: from simply informing subjects about possible risks to the adoption of detailed laws establishing the rules for the circulation of such assets, the rights and obligations of subjects. At the same time, country approaches not only to regulation, but also to the definition of the essence of cryptocurrencies (money, assets, rights) differ greatly.The purpose of the article is to form recommendations on possible development of directions of Russian regulation of the cryptocurrency market. International approaches to the regulation of digital currencies, the practice and features of their application, as well as the proposed legal norms of the Russian bill on the use of digital financial assets in civil circulation have been analyzed in the article. As the research methodology, legal and comparative analysis of Russian and foreign practice has been used. Recommendations for making amendments to the current financial legislation and emerging digital legislation have been given. According to the author, the development of the cryptocurrency market in Russia in the near future will be influenced by the following facts: the adoption of digital legislation, international experience and practice of using cryptocurrencies, technological changes.

Conventionally, international legal scholarship concerned with norm conflicts focusses on identifying how international law can or should resolve them. This book adopts a different approach. It focusses on identifying those norm conflicts that law cannot and should not resolve. The book offers an unprecedented, controversial, yet sophisticated, argument in favour of construing such irresolvable conflicts as legal dilemmas. Legal dilemmas exist when a legal actor confronts a conflict between at least two legal norms that cannot be avoided or resolved. Addressing both academics and practitioners, the book aims to identify the character and consequences of legal dilemmas, to distil their legal function within the sphere of international law, and to engender and contribute to serious theoretical and practical investigations into the conditions that lead to a legal dilemma. The argument unfolds in three parts. The first part proposes a definition of legal dilemmas and distinguishes the term from numerous related concepts. Based on this definition, the second part scrutinises international law’s contemporary norm conflict resolution and accommodation devices in order to identify their limited ability to resolve certain kinds of norm conflicts satisfactorily. Against the background of the limits identified in the second part, the third part outlines and evaluates the book’s proposed method of dealing with legal dilemmas. In contrast to conventional approaches that recommend dealing with irresolvable norm conflicts by means of non liquet declarations, judicial law-making or balancing test, the book’s proposal envisions that irresolvable norm conflicts are dealt with by judicial and sovereign actors in a complementary fashion. According to the proposal, judicial actors should openly acknowledge irresolvable conflicts and sovereign actors should decide with which norm they will comply. Subsequently, judicial actors should hold the sovereign actor responsible for the violation of any prescriptive norm the sovereign chose to impair. The book concludes with the argument that analysing various aspects of international law through the lenses of the concept of a legal dilemma enhances international law’s conceptual accuracy, facilitates more legitimate decision-making processes and maintains international law’s dynamic responsiveness.

The nature of a subjective right causes the possibility of a criminal proceedings participant willingly, based on own interests and wishes, both to exercise the right exactly and waive it and not to use the provided procedural possibilities. Within the criminal proceedings, the waiver of the right institute is new, underdeveloped. There is practically no understanding of its subject matter and the extent of its exercise at the level of doctrine and jurisprudence as opposed to the foreign experience and civil legal regulation, which causes definite scientific interest in this topic. The paper carries out the look-back analysis of the definition of the nature of the waiver of the subjective right in Russian legal doctrine. This institute is relatively new and little researched in the Russian doctrine, which determines a particular scientific interest in the study of this issue. The paper provides the authors’ description of the waiver of the subjective right. In respect to the Russian criminal procedural legislation, the authors highlight the necessity to distinguish between the refusal of a right and the refusal to exercise a right by the participants in the criminal procedural activity; analyze the differentiated approach of the legislator on this issue. Based on the theoretical and legal analysis, the authors define that the waiver of the subjective right has definite essential features, forms, and ways of implementation, as well as specify the criteria for its admissibility. The paper proves the conclusion that the waiver of the right within the criminal process is possible under such conditions, as the direct willingness of a subject of criminal law relations to waive a right; the awareness of the existence of a particular procedural right and the consequences of such refusal; the form of a waiver showing its voluntary nature by implementing the intended freedom of choice. The authors expressed the proposals aimed at the improvement of norms of current criminal procedural legislation.

The scope of international legal regulation of public-private partnership (PPP) is being expanded due to the extended range of intergovernmental relations and relations involving international organizations of public-private partnership, as well as extension of the scope of international law to cross-border relations regarding PPP. A relatively small number of international conventional rules and legal norms that regulate the relations in the sphere of public-private partnership have not yet been codified in the form of a multilateral international treaty. Gaps in the international legal regulation activate non-formal processes of managing international and cross-border relations in the sphere of public-private partnership with prevalence of the international intergovernmental organizations. The scientific novelty lies in articulation of the problem of formulation and application of the international standards of public-private partnership as the results of such non-formal processes of international rulemaking of international organizations. Using the formal legal and comparative legal methods, generalization and abstraction, the author formulates the definition of international standards of public-private partnership, discloses their content and difference from the international standards in other spheres of international relations, assesses their legal nature, problems and prospects of their formation. It is substantiated that the development of international standards of public-private partnership would be facilitated by establishment of their adoption procedure in the conditions of cooperation of all international organizations that perform a regulatory function in the sphere of public-private partnership.

The relevance of this study is due to the necessity to ensure the proper exercise of subjective civil rights in the field of inheritance law. Protection in inheritance is related to the general right to protection. Due to the peculiarities of inheritance law as a sub-branch of civil law, it has its own specifics, which is manifested primarily in the definition of special ways to protect violated unrecognized or challenged rights. In addition, the protection of the rights of heirs takes place only within the inheritance relationship, which is characterized by a long nature. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of protection of subjective civil rights of heirs in the field of inheritance. This necessitates the use of special methodological approaches that will identify the characteristics of protection of the rights of heirs, as well as research methods such as dogmatic, formal-logical, systematic, comparative law. The article analyses the recognition of the right of ownership of inherited property in court and proves that this exceptional method of protection is used if there are obstacles to the notarization of inheritance rights. The most typical and widespread special ways to protect the rights of heirs are considered: removal from the right to inherit, invalidation of the will, change of the order of obtaining the right to inherit, reduction of the size of the obligatory share in the inheritance. The outlined issues were not widely covered in the legal literature, as the attention of scholars was mainly in the perspective of clarifying the legal nature of protection and defence, the ratio of forms and methods of protection of subjective civil rights, analysis of general methods of protection of subjective civil rights. That is why this work is an important contribution to outlining the issue of inheritance law and attracting due attention of the scientific community.
