Objectives. The purpose of this study was to study the legal regime of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) procedures in Israel in the context of the formation of the concept of legal regulation of this diagnosis in the Russian Federation. Materials. The legal acts and doctrinal sources of Israel on the problems of PGD and genetic research are examined. Methods used: general philosophical, general scientific, private scientific, special (structural-legal, comparative-legal, formal-legal). Results. The features of the legal regulation of the PGD procedure in Israel are determined, the ways of partial borrowing of such in Russia are proposed. Conclusions. It has been established that the general concept of legal regulation of PGD in Israel can be proposed for borrowing due to the following components: 1) an integrated approach to legal regulation of PGD in which the recommendations for diagnostics are formulated based on the results of the implementation of state programs to support genetic studies and the fight against congenital diseases; 2) a combination of legislative regulation of basic guarantees in the field of PGD with subjective by-law regulation of indications and conditions for each stage of diagnosis; 3) a combination of legislative and by-laws regulation with regulation at the level of professional guidelines; 4) the flexibility of normative legal regulation, which allows authorizing the implementation of PGD in certain non-standard cases; 5) the existence of special requirements for the content of genetic counseling in PGD, which serves as an important guarantee of protecting the rights of consumers of medical services.

The author considers the problem of placing buildings, structures and other objects in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the restrictions on the use of land plots established by law. Until August 2018, this issue was not regulated in the legislation, as well as the legal regime of protected zones and other zones with special conditions for the use of territories was not properly regulated. At the same time, the judicial practice on disputes over the demolition of these objects was not uniform. In connection with the adoption (in August 2018) of legislative acts affecting both the legal regulation of unauthorized buildings and regulation of the legal regime of zones with special conditions for the use of territories, the work makes attempts to analyze the current legislation, the main positions of the courts and understand the reasons that caused the adoption of new legislative acts. The author comes to the conclusion that at present the legal fate of objects located in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the restrictions established for land plots depends on a number of circumstances identified by the judicial authorities when considering disputes and having been enshrined in the norms of law. The methodological basis of the research is made up of general scientific (in particular, logical) and special legal (formal legal) methods of scientific knowledge. The logical method (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, etc.) made it possible to identify various legal grounds for the demolition of objects built in zones with special conditions for the use of territories in violation of the established restrictions. With the help of the formal legal method, the court practice of the applying the norms of civil legislation on unauthorized constructions in relation to the placement of objects in zones with special conditions for the use of territories was analyzed.

Introduction: the paper examines the problems associated with the definition of the legal regime of the technologies and products obtained using GMOs. The experts in the field of genetics have not yet come to an unambiguous conclusion about the degree of harm or benefit of products obtained using genetic modifications. Russia has strict restrictive measures for the production of genetically modified products. Consequently, there is virtually no market for genetically modified seeds produced in Russia. Nevertheless, the world is actively developing industries for the production of genetically modified agricultural products, and the market for the production of seeds is “captured” by a small number of foreign companies. On the other hand, climate change dictates the inevitability of using genetically modified products, the need to accelerate genetic research, and the production of GMO seeds and food. In this context, the authors set a goal to find a compromise (balanced) legal regulation of the legal regime of the technologies and products obtained using GMOs. Methods: the methodological framework for the research is a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the formal-legal method and the method of comparative legal analysis are the leading positions. Results: the authors propose to consider the bans or support for GMO products in the context of trends in global climate change and ensuring food security. The authors have made a comparative analysis of the provisions of the international norms and the Russian legislation on the research and application of GMO technologies and products, which helped to identify an unbalanced legal regulation of the use of the GMO technologies in Russia, which reduces its competitiveness in this area on the world market. Conclusions: the Russian legislation needs to minimize this legal imbalance, which puts researchers in the field of plant genetics and producers of GMO seeds and food in unequal (worse) conditions. The legal regulation should ensure the coexistence of organic (environmentally friendly) agriculture, traditional agriculture, and the use of the GMO technologies; the introduction of special labeling of GMO products; the broadening of the powers of regional authorities in the use of GMO technologies; as well as the application of the principle of “traceability” to GMO products.

The subject of the research is the criminal-legal aspects of the implementation of a fine as a type of criminal punishment. In this regard, an analysis of the materials of judicial practice is carried out, which makes it possible to reveal the current trends in the appointment of a criminal fine by the court. The dynamics of the appointment of a fine by the court as the main and additional punishment has been established. The purpose of the study is to uncover the problems of implementing a criminal fine as a type of punishment and to develop proposals for improving the mechanism for imposing a criminal fine by a court. The methodological basis of the research is formed by a set of general scientific and private scientific methods that predetermined an integrated approach to the study of the purpose of a fine as a type of punishment. In the course of achieving the goal of the study, special legal methods of cognition were used to facilitate the analysis of the legal regulation of the appointment of a fine, the determination of the property status of a person, and other income of the convict. The main results of the study contain conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the measures for the appointment of a fine in relation to minors, for the aggregate of crimes, when replacing a fine in case of malicious evasion from its payment. Conclusions are formulated regarding the methodological, organizational and practical aspects of the legal impact of a fine as a type of punishment aimed at achieving the goals of punishment. The novelty of the research topic lies in the formulation and solution of the problem associated with the appointment of a fine: 1) for the aggregate of crimes; 2) in relation to minors. Conclusions and proposals for improving the criminal law governing the basis and procedure for imposing a criminal fine are formulated.

The formation of new trends in the development of molecular genetic diagnosis has allowed to use this knowledge to identify pathologies of the child's development before his birth at the prenatal level. The use of new assisted reproductive technologies(art), aimed at combating infertility, allows to postpone this period even before the implantation of the embryo of the future mother. The use of new techniques should be carried out only for medical reasons, but the mechanism of their legal regulation has not been formed to date, which may be the basis for the use of genetic research carried out within the framework of art in the context of medical expediency. The above allows us to raise the question of the need to develop special legal norms that allow to solve the problem only from the perspective of modern bioethical ideas, but also from the perspective of the formation of law enforcement practice in this area.

Objectives. The purpose of this study is to study the essence of ethical conflicts arising over the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and to identify ways to overcome them by legal means, taking into account existing foreign experience. Materials. The legal acts and doctrinal sources of Australia, Great Britain, Canada, China, New Zealand, USA are investigated. The methods used are: general philosophical, general scientific, private scientific, special (structural-legal, comparative-legal, formal-legal). Results. Ways to resolve ethical conflicts around the PGD procedure that are relevant for use in Russian conditions are proposed. Conclusions. It was established that the resolution of ethical conflicts around the procedure should be based on state legal regulation of requirements related to informing patients about the content of the services provided and the consequences of the procedure, methods and procedures for the independent interpretation of the results. In addition to the official fixing of the list of genetic diseases, for the presence of markers which are allowed to conduct research, the legislation on the protection of the health of citizens must establish a procedure for authorizing PGD in exceptional cases, as well as factors and circumstances that must be taken into account and evaluated when an appropriate decision is made (including the features of a family history, an assessment of the degree of impaired function of the organism, the state of individual organs and their systems during development of the corresponding disease, etc.). Regulatory requirements can be supplemented and developed in the content of professional manuals

The relevance of this paper is determined by both the need for appropriate scientific support to counter violations of budget legislation that have recently become quite common in Eastern Europe, and the advisability of using positive enforcement experience in Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia in this process. The purpose of the paper is to study the application of measures of administrative and financial responsibility for budget offenses under the laws of Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia in order to identify common and distinctive features of the legal regulation of this application and provide recommendations on the implementation of positive experience in the national legislation of each country. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general scientific and special scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge that provide an integrated approach to the analysis of financial, legal and administrative aspects of responsibility for budget offenses under the laws of Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia. It seems advisable to borrow for Ukraine and Slovakia the experience of legal regulation of budget-delictual relations in Poland by adopting a single legislative act that would regulate the grounds and procedure for applying measures of financial and legal responsibility in the budget sphere, and for Poland and Slovakia the experience of Ukraine in differentiation would be interesting responsibility of officials who committed violations of budget legislation (administrative responsibility) and legal entities (administrators or recipients of budget funds) on whose behalf the officials acted (financial and legal liability). The materials in this article may be useful for scientists conducting research on budget-delictual relations, scientific and pedagogical workers during the teaching of the disciplines of ‘Financial Law’, ‘Budget Law’, as well as for representatives of law-making entities in the process of improving budget and administrative legislation.

The purpose of the study is to analyze individual independent branches of law included in environmental law and their variability in determining special approaches to the development of the Arctic in modern geopolitical conditions. The methodological basis of the research includes the general scientific method and special methods of cognition, such as comparative legal, environmental legal, statistical and empirical. The results of the study are the conclusions from the analysis of the main program and legal documents regulating the development and development of the territories of the Arctic states. Moreover, the attempts to create an adequate system of convergence of national and international legal regulation in order to determine the modern legal regime of the Arctic are discussed herein. The study of international and domestic experience has shown the need for a correlation of individual branches of law (international, administrative, criminal, informational) with the environmental law to provide comprehensive environmental and legal support for the development of the Arctic region. The authors also draw attention to the fact that environmental and legal problems of the development of the Arctic region require a systematic approach. The novelty of the study lies in the conclusion that, despite the fact that each state of the Arctic region has a national strategy for the development of its Arctic territory, on most topical issues these strategies are of a similar nature and have common approaches: scientifically based methods of managing the natural resources of the Arctic region; special methods of socio-economic development; preservation of vulnerable Arctic ecological systems and scientific activities in the field of climate change.

Modern public administration is based on the legal basis. It determines the need to build a system of legal acts in a logical and consistent system. Law-making should be based on the social essence of law and its functions. The research indicates the imperfection of certain normative legal acts and the need to improve the legislation. The task of legal sciences is to offer a concept of legislation that will meet the needs of society, take into account the socio-economic development of the state interests of the individual. Special regulation is required in the field of public life such as road safety, affecting most branches of law. The definition of the concept of the individual branches of law governing this area should be based on a general concept. It determines the relevance of the study, which examines the theoretical approaches to the formation of the concept of legal regulation and through its prism the possibility of forming the concept of individual normative legal acts is considered, including the concept of a new code of administrative offences. The study used general scientific research methods: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization and deduction, as well as general scientific empirical methods such as observation. As a result of the study conducted in the article, the conclusions are made that specific legislative acts should not only be consistent with the general system of legal norms, among themselves and meet the requirements of legal technology, but also consistent with the social grounds of legitimization. Taking into account the conclusions drawn, the question of the need to revise the concept of the code of administrative offences is considered and certain provisions are proposed that can be taken into account in its formation.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a general theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime in order to overcome its narrow industrial understanding and identify the role and significance in the process of legal regulation. General scientific and private scientific methods of knowledge including formal legal and comparative legal methods have been chosen as research methods of this paper. Logical techniques allowing to reveal the essence of legal regimes and formulate the author's definition of them have also been applied. The analysis of scientific works expressing various opinions indicates that at present an instrumental approach to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime prevails directly (or indirectly through the procedure of legal regulation) as a set of legal means (instruments). The following are mentioned as signs of the legal regime: mandatory normative legal consolidation (formal legal nature), specific target, special regulatory order based on a combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation, in relation to subjects of law, i.e., in a subjective sense, creating of favorable (or unfavorable) conditions to achieve certain interests, systemic and integrated character of a regime and its special structure. As a result, the author's definition of the legal regime is presented as a special procedure for the legal regulation of public relations, based on a certain combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation (permits, prohibitions, and positive obligations) aimed at achieving the relevant legal goals and planned optimal socially significant result.

In the last few decades, issues related to the legal regulation of genetic research and the legal regime of genetic information derived from it have become particularly relevant both at the international level and at the level of individual countries. However, Russia has only recently come to realize the need for legislative regulation of the relevant relations. At the same time, a distinctive feature of such regulation is the emphasis on public-legal aspects, and civil-legal aspects have been left without due attention.The distinction between genetic information and genetic data is essential for the determination of the civil law regime of genetic information. Genetic information is personified genetic (genomic) information (information), because it has an individual, personal character as relating directly or indirectly to a particular or identifiable person. Genetic data is non-personalized (anonymized) genetic data, which are characterized by a formalized species, often contained in the information system and in this regard — systematized. Genetic information is an element of such an intangible good as the secret of private life, genetic data are, as a rule, an element of such a result of intellectual activity as a database. In addition, it is concluded that there is no doctrinal or legislative basis for the recognition of genetic information as an independent object of civil rights. The necessity of additional legislative regulation of activity of the biobanks carrying out storage of biomaterials, respectively, genetic data is proved. Genetic information contained in such biobanks should be subject to the legal regime of privacy.
