Secession in the 20th-21st centuries have become subject to legal regulation at the level of current legislation issued on the basis of the provisions of the national Constitution. The paper analyzes three of the laws on secession. Two of them (the USSR and Canada) regulate the implementation of secession from the state, the third (China) prohibits secession. All the three acts are based on the interpretation of relevant constitutional norms. An analysis of these laws in terms of the purpose for their issuance, content, features, and the degree of achievement of the officially formulated goals shows a significant discrepancy between the officially set goals and the legal tools of legislative techniques used to achieve them. Despite the different names and officially stated goals for secession laws adoption, all the three laws are aimed at either preventing secession or significantly delaying the process. In the Soviet and Canadian laws that formally permit secession, the main role in the process of "delaying" the issue is assigned to the central authorities of the state, which are given broad powers and opportunities to recognize the results of a referendum held by the relevant region as invalid. Due to the nature of Taiwan’s status and its relationship with China the PRC law can hardly be seen as an attempt to create a legal mechanism of counteraction of secession. It is rather a political warning, made in the form of a legal act, of the inadmissibility, in the opinion of the PRC, the international legal formalization of the independence of Taiwan. The legislative regulation of secession issues does not yet contain new mechanisms that clearly ensure the democratic nature of state decision-making. However, no matter how weak the legislative regulation of secession issues is, it is a step forward in comparison with the use of force to solve regional problems.

One of the conditions for building the rule of law is to improve public management of migration processes in accordance with international standards. Migration is an integral part of any state. Migration processes can be affected by economic, political, social, demographic factors, environmental or man-made disasters. Not the least role in migration processes is played by military conflicts or religious or racial persecution. Migration is the movement of a person to change his or her place of residence or stay, involving the crossing of a state border or the boundaries of administrative-territorial units. The administrative and legal mechanism of migration covers the main elements of the migration process. The main one is the subject. Migrant as the subject is a person through whom migration relations arise. The system of public authorities is treated as a subject of regulation of migration processes on behalf of the state. It is the interaction of the subjects that makes migration relations real. The subjects of migration processes are: public authorities and administration, which are endowed with certain powers in the field of migration management. Individuals who have crossed administrative borders or changed their place of permanent residence can be citizens of Ukraine, citizens of foreign countries, stateless persons, refugees, internally displaced persons. Non-governmental organizations that do not have direct authority to manage migration processes and can have a direct impact on the integration of migrants into the new social environment. The ratio of executive, legislative and judicial power in the system of legal regulation of migration in Ukraine shows that the indispensable attribute of the state-power mechanism, built on the principles of separation of powers, is the executive power. It creates conditions for the implementation of the preventive function of the legislature, initiates changes in the current migration legislation; implements its own executive and administrative functions; supports the exercise of judicial functions by the judiciary and itself acts as an object of judicial influence. The analysis shows that geopolitical migration processes contribute to the expansion of the subjects of migration processes, and that one of the current problems of the modern system of administrative and legal regulation of migration processes is the need to reconcile the interests of the state, its citizens and migrants.

Based on the analysis, it is also concluded that in foreign countries, for the most part, there is no legislative regulation of issues of jurisdictional immunity in international private law.

The peculiarities of the legal mechanism of returning the court fee in case of completion of civil cases without a court decision are analyzed, issues of these applications practical resolving are considered, as well as suggestions for improving the legal regulation in case of the closure of the proceedings or leaving the application without consideration are proposed. While analyzing examples of case law, it was established that the lack of legislative regulation of the procedure for confirming or denying the existence of grounds for the amount of court fees refund causes a lot of confusion and contradictory solutions to the judiciary in this regard. The position on the impossibility of equalization due to the different procedural nature of leaving without consideration of statements on procedural issues, such as: on providing evidence, on securing a claim, on dismissal of a judge, and leaving without considering a statement of claim as a civil procedural institute, regulated by Art. 257 of CPC of Ukraine are justified. It has been concluded that in case the court finds circumstances that are grounds for the application of the institute of leaving the application without consideration and provided for in Art. 257 of CPS of Ukraine, when considering applications on procedural issues, should apply such a special legal consequence as a return of the application without consideration. It has been established that returning an application on procedural issues without consideration and leaving an application without consideration are completely different legal categories. Return of applications on procedural issues without consideration due to its legal nature is a special basis for the application of the return of the application institute, and therefore the legal consequence of such an application would be considered not filed at all. In this connection, it has been proposed to enshrine in the legislation the provisions on the refund of the court fee in case of return without consideration of the application on procedural issues, for the submission of which such payment was paid.

As a result of everyday social activities, people constantly come into relationships with each other. This type of relationship may not be regulated at all (exist on the basis of morals, traditions, etc.), or it may not exist without a certain legal regulation, which is supported by the power of the state. Violation of these regulations constitutes an offense. Offenses have negative consequences for various spheres of public life, they cause damage to both society and the state. In modern conditions, there is a tendency to increase the number of offenses in society. This situation stimulates the study of the causes and conditions of committing offenses, both of certain types of offenses, and of all illegal acts in general. The work considers the main causes and conditions of offenses, and also provides a clear distinction of such terms as “cause”, “condition” and “reason”. The main role in the fight against offenses, including the activities to identify and eliminate the causes and conditions of committing illegal acts, belongs to law enforcement agen-cies. But in the current circumstances, this is not enough, so it is necessary to pay attention to other mechanisms and ways to eliminate the causes and conditions of violations and effectively use them.
