Сфера закупок товаров, работ, услуг для обеспечения государственных и муниципальных нужд в России страдает от широко распространяющихся мошеннических действий. Несмотря на то, что в отдельных странах Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона накоплен богатый опыт законодательного противодействия преступному мошенничеству в сфере публичных закупок, в нашей стране он пока изучен недостаточно. В статье исследуется законотворческий опыт Республики Корея в противодействии преступным проявлениям мошенничества в сфере публичных закупок. Проведён юридический анализ норм отдельных законодательных актов Республики Корея, в которых представлена ответственность за преступные деяния в сфере публичных закупок. Особое внимание уделено преступлению, предусмотренному статьёй 315 Уголовного кодекса Республики Корея «Воспрепятствование проведению аукциона или торгов». Представлены позиции судебных органов Республики Корея в оценке отдельных признаков этого опасного преступления. Выявлена специфика законодательной регламентации ответственности за преступные деяния в сфере публичных закупок. В завершении анализа законотворческого опыта Республики Корея по противодействию мошенничеству при осуществлении закупочной деятельности государственными или муниципальными органами отмечено, что законодательство по борьбе с обозначенными преступными проявлениями развивается в этой стране «в ногу со временем». Сделаны выводы о том, что не все результаты рассмотренной законотвор-ческой деятельности Южной Кореи в силу их своеобразия могут быть распро-странены и использованы при совершенствовании российского законодательства. Однако отдельные приёмы законодательного решения проблем противодействия преступным мошенническим деяниям в сфере публичных закупок, безусловно, небесполезны и для России. В частности, интерес для развития российского законодательства могут представлять отдельные приёмы юридической техники – к примеру, широкое установление законодательного запрета на осуществление разнообразных действий мошеннического характера в сфере закупочной деятельности, вплоть до признания таких действий уголовно-наказуемыми. Авторам представляется любопытным и установление в санкциях законодательных норм Республики Корея строгих видов и размеров наказания за преступное воспрепятствование проведению аукциона или торгов, которые в сочетании с реальным назначением сурового наказания дают возможность эффективно противодействовать мошенническим проявлениям в сфере публичных закупок. Клчевые слова: уголовное законодательство стран Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, законодательство Республики Корея, уголовное право Республики Корея, уголовный кодекс Республики Корея, мошенничество, мошенничество в сфере публичных закупок, публичные закупки, электронные закупки, воспрепятствование торгам, сговор на торгах, подделка документов. The sphere of procurement of goods, works, and services to meet state and municipal needs in Russia suffers from widespread fraudulent activities. Despite the fact that some countries of the Asia-Pacific region have accumulated a wealth of experience in legal counteraction to criminal fraud in the field of public procurement, in our country it has not been sufficiently studied yet. The article examines the legislative experience of the Republic of Korea in countering the criminal manifestations of fraud in the field of public procurement. A legal analysis of the norms of certain legislative acts of the Republic of Korea, which presents responsibility for criminal acts in the field of public procurement, is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the crime stipulated by Article 315 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea "Obstruction of an auction or auctions." The position of the judicial authorities of the Republic of Korea in the assessment of some of this dangerous crime is presented. The specificity of the legislative regulation of liability for criminal acts in the field of public procurement has been revealed. Analysis of the legislative experience of the Republic of Korea in combating fraud in the imple-mentation of procurement activities by state or municipal authorities is followed by the conclusion that legislation to combat the designated criminal manifestations is developing in this country “in step with the times”. It is concluded that not all results of the considered legislative activity of South Korea, due to their originality, can be disseminated and used in the improvement of Russian legislation. However, certain methods of legislative solution of the problems of combating criminal fraudulent acts in the field of public procurement can be applied in Russia. In particular, certain methods of legal technique may be of interest for the development of Russian legislation - for example, the broad establishment of a legislative ban on the implementation of various fraudulent actions in the field of procurement, up to the recognition of such actions as criminal offenses. The authors also consider the establishment in the sanctions of the legislative norms of the Republic of Korea of strict types and sizes of punishment for criminal obstruction of an auction or auctions, which, in combination with the real imposition of severe punishment, make it possible to effectively counteract fraudulent manifestations in the field of public procurement. Keywords: Asia Pacific criminal law, Republic of Korea law, Republic of Korea criminal law, Republic of Korea criminal code, fraud, public procurement fraud, public procurement, e-procurement, obstruction of bidding, bid rigging, document forgery.

As a basic principle, the "right to work" is guaranteed under the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. This human right is further elaborated primarily in the Labor Law, but also in other laws that stipulate the conditions for the establishment, exercise and termination of employment. This paper emphasizes the possibility of restricting both natural and legal persons, including entrepreneurs, to practicing a particular profession, activity or duty, resulting from the imposition of criminal sanctions. The security and protective measures in the criminal law of the Republic of Serbia prohibiting the practice of specific activities are also emphasized. One of the aims is to point out the consequences of the measures imposed, which are often more severe than the sentence itself.

The right to freely decide on the conclusion or dissolution of marriage traditionally falls into the corpus of human and civil rights which are guaranteed both at the international and the national level. In Serbian legislation, the implications of being deprived of this right, particularly as a result of coercion or duress, are two-fold: in the sphere of civil law, it is one of the legal grounds for voidability of marriage (Art. 38 of the Family Act) while, in the field of criminal law, it is qualified as a special criminal offence of forced marriage (Art. 187a of the Criminal Code). The initial text of the Criminal Code did not contain the incrimination of forced marriage, it was introduced by novelties in 2016, during the process of harmonising domestic legislation with the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (the Istanbul Convention), which was signed and ratified by the Republic of Serbia. Thus, Serbia assumed an obligation to adjust and enhance its system for the protection of victims of violence. The author in this paper seeks to examine the criminal protection from forced marriage in its historical vertical, analyzing earlier criminal-law responses to this phenomenon, critically considering the capacities of positive law, but also dealing with possible directions for its further development.

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the world in all respects, including democracy and fundamental freedoms such as the freedoms of expression and movement, and the right to health. This presents a central challenge for democracies: how to balance mitigating the outbreak and at the same time respecting democratic principles such as accountability, transparency and respect for civil and political rights. Many countries have implemented stringent restrictions to contain the virus, which have implications for human rights and freedoms. The Embassy of Sweden to the Republic of Korea and International IDEA co-organized a webinar on 9 June 2020 to examine the pandemic’s potential consequences for democracy worldwide using the case studies of Australia, the Republic of Korea and Sweden.

In order to complete studies at the University of Law Faculty of August 17, 1945 Samarinda, one of the tasks that must be completed is scientific writing, this imiah writing is entitled: "Juridical Review of the Fall of the Right to Prosecute under the Criminal Law Act". This scientific research method uses normative juridies.The violation of the right to sue is regulated in Chapter VII of the Criminal Code, while the violation of the right to sue is regulated in the Criminal Code, namely:The principle of "Ne bis in idem" (Article 76 of the Criminal Code).Death of the perpetrator (Article 77 of the Criminal Code).Expiry (Article 78 of the Criminal Code).Settlement of cases outside court trials (Article 82 of the Criminal Code).Amnesty and Abolition from the President (Article 14 of the 1945 Constitution).There are no complaints on complaints offenses.This provision contained in the Criminal Code is to provide legal certainty for the community specifically the perpetrators of criminal acts. Provisions for the cancellation of the right to sue are the duties and functions of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia based on Law 16 of 2004.The fall of the right to sue is caused by: 1) natural causes, 2) causes of human actions, and 3) legal causes It is hoped that the rules on the cancellation of the right to sue can be further emphasized in the new draft Law on Criminal Law (RKUHP) to provide legal certainty to the public. Likewise, cases of minor criminal acts (tipiring) should be resolved outside the court to avoid the accumulation of cases in court and the excess capacity of State Detention Centers or Penitentiaries.
