The article considers the international legal regulation of combating cybercrime, which is considered as a transnational phenomenon. In the group of transnational crimes, along with drug trafficking, terrorist acts, money laundering, illegal import of migrants, human trafficking, firearms trafficking, counterfeiting, etc., cybercrimes play an important role in terms of public harm, unprecedented and rapid growth. The mechanisms and directions of the fight against cybercrime developed by international criminal law are studied, among which the international legal regulation is of fundamental importance, and difficulties in defining the concepts of "cybercrime" and "computer crimes" are noted. The classification of types of cybercrimes is given and their most characteristic features are revealed. The author analyzes the international normative documents that form the legal basis for regulating relations in the field of international cybercrime, among which the most prominent are conventions, including the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime of November 15, 2000, the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime of November 23, 2001 and Additional Protocol to it of January 28, 2003. The obligations of states to criminalize cybercrime in national legislation are analyzed, the types of illegal actions related to cybercrime are considered, in particular the main four groups of crimes classified in the 2001 Cybercrime Convention by Gender object and on specific grounds of the object of encroachment: 1) crimes against confidentiality, integrity and availability of computer data and systems; 2) offenses related to the use of computer tools; 3) offenses related to the content of data; 4) offenses related to infringement of copyright and compatible rights, as well as additional types of liability and sanctions (attempt, complicity). The Protocol to the 2003 Cybercrime Convention expands this range of crimes and contains obligations to criminalize the following acts: distribution of racist and xenophobic material through computer systems. The limitation of the 2001 Convention on Cybercrime, adopted by the Council of Europe, and the need to adopt a universal instrument that would significantly increase the fight against cybercrime are noted.

he article is devoted to determining the concept, role and significance of judicial practice in the legal regulation of insurance contractual relations, the establishment of its characteristic features and its correlation with other sources of legal regulation of the relevant relations. It has been established that the legal regulation of insurance contractual relations represents a state-dominant influence on such relations by a combination of legal means by which specific entities (the insurer and the insured) influence the legal relationship in the insurance industry by establishing specific contractual conditions in order to consolidate relations between them in order to streamline them in accordance with the needs of society as a whole and specific entities in particular. Legal regulation of insurance contractual relations is carried out using various legal forms that differ in the level and manner of their consolidation. In the system of sources of legal regulation of direct contractual relations on insurance, the following are distinguished: sources of normative (general) regulation (normative legal act, legal custom, judicial precedent, standard contract, general principles of law) and sources of individual regulation (specific insurance contract, the contents of which constitute the totality conditions determined at the discretion of the parties and agreed by them). In addition, on the basis of state-power nature and belonging to a certain type of social regulation, the sources of legal regulation of contractual insurance relations are: a) substantial, formal sources of law (institutional sources), which coincides with the form of law as a way of expressing the rules of conduct that are contained in the rules of law (multilevel regulatory legal acts in the field of insurance); b) the totality of social regulators (extra-legal sources), which are characterized by direct or indirect recognition by their state of regulators of insurance relations, which are constituted by the customs of business turnover, moral standards; c) judicial practice, which is characterized by a combination of institutional, non-legal sources and contractual self-regulation. It is noted that judicial practice is the result of judicial regulation, affects the practice of law enforcement, the actual formation of insurance relations in society, changes in insurance legislation and occupies an important place in social regulation. Key words: judicial practice, legal regulation, insurance contractual relations, sources of legal regulation, non-legal sources, social regulators.

The article is devoted to the study of foreign experience of improving national legislation in the field of regulation of the organization of electronic state registers. The author analyzed scientific conceptual approaches to defining the concept of state registration, on the basis of which a number of characteristic features of state registration were distinguished. Based on the scientific and legal analysis, it is concluded that the objects of state registration may include, in particular: information about natural and legal persons, things (movable and immovable), property and other rights (property rights, leases, easements, etc.), documents (regulations, court decisions, statutes, etc.), legal facts (birth, death, acquisition or loss of citizenship, formation, reorganization, liquidation of a legal entity, public association, commencement or termination of a pre-trial investigation, enforcement On proceedings, etc.). The author analyzes foreign experience of countries such as Georgia, Germany, Sweden in the field of legal relations arising in the sphere of state registration and organization of electronic state registers. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that one of the significant shortcomings of national legislation in the field of legal relations arising in the field of state registration is the lack of a single legislative approach to the formation of the list of information about the object of state registration. In order to improve the legal regulation of state registers, including in the light of foreign experience in this field, the author has developed the following proposals, in particular, to introduce a unified approach to: defining the concept of “state registry” (as an information and telecommunication system), “state registration” (as a type of state activity); the procedure of keeping state registers, if their holder is one body; Introduce the legal principle of determining the amount of information about a state registration object, in particular: extending the information contained in public registers and minimizing information in non-public registers.

Specific features of border discourse as a special form of social interaction are considered in the article. The characteristic features of communicative situations of border discourse are highlighted. The conditions under which modern border discourse takes place are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the professional speech of border guards, which is characterized by professional border guard vocabulary, depending on the field of communication. Discourse is a complex communicative event or sociolinguistic structure created by interlocutors in specific communicative, social and pragmatic situations. Border discourse exists in two forms: the oral form and written form. Oral border discourse is the communication between people in the line of duty. It can be a conversation between two servicemen, between an officer and a person crossing the state border of Ukraine, or a senior officer and a subordinate serviceperson. Written border discourse is secondary to oral speech. Written speech is actually dialogical. The material of the research is presented by normative documents, educational materials, materials of mass media, in which the communicative situations of the border discourse are presented. The place of speech situations of border discourse is determined by the sphere of activity of communicators and the method of communication: personal or indirect means of communication (telephone conversations, Internet, correspondence by regular or e-mail, mass media, etc. Participants in speech situations within this discourse are border guards, academics who teach disciplines related to the activities of border guards, members of the media who cover issues related to border activities, as well as ordinary citizens involved in border discourse when crossing the state border. Motives of communication and speech intentions of communicators are determining factors in the selection of language means to achieve the communicative goal. Areas in which the border discourse takes place are official receptions, meetings, conferences, press conferences, negotiations, command and staff exercises, conferences, training situations with the use of professional border guard vocabulary, regulations, official situations at checkpoints.
