INTRODUCTION. Within the context of the theory of ‘the concordance of the wills of States’ developed in the Russian doctrine of international law and on the basis of the contemporary practice of States and international aviation organizations (in particular, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)) the author examines the subsidiary rule-making processes in international air law as the integral part of the whole rule-making process of this branch of international law.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The present research has been conducted on the basis of international air law treaties, the resolutions and documents of ICAO, as well as the works of Russian and foreign international law experts. The methodology of the research is based upon general scientific and special methods, including dialectical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, comparative legal method.RESEARCH RESULTS. On the basis of his research the author has been able to achieve the following results: (1) detailed and precise classification of all acts, decisions and documents (including, in particular, numerous ICAO documents) concerning the activities of international civil aviation and adopted or approved within the framework of the subsidiary rule-making processes in international air law; (2) defining the practical importance of these subsidiary rule-making processes within the context of the whole rule-making process of international air law; (3) discovering current problems of the rule-making process in international air law and proposing possible ways of its improvements in view of the interests of the Russian Federation and international aviation community as a whole.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. After examination of the subsidiary rule-making processes currently existing in the international air law it can be concluded that these processes are rather dynamic and well take into account the contemporary development of global aviation and the interests of different States. At the same time, the recent trends within ICAO and other international aviation organizations towards simplification and acceleration of such rule-making processes by way of shifting many substantial provisions from mandatory into non-mandatory acts and documents or through limitation of the States’ participation in these processes can negatively affect the States’ interests, impede the achievement of universal uniformity in regulations, standards and procedures and, eventually, even jeopardize the global aviation safety.

INTRODUCTION. Within the context of the theory of ‘the concordance of the wills of States’ developed in the Russian doctrine of international law and on the basis of the contemporary practice of States and international aviation organizations (in particular, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)) the author examines the process of rule-making and the sources of international air law.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The present research has been conducted on the basis of international air law treaties, the ICAO documents, as well as the works of Russian and foreign international law experts. The methodology of the research is based upon general scientific and special methods, including dialectical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, comparative legal method.RESEARCH RESULTS. On the basis of his research the author has been able to identify and systematize the present-day sources of international air law, i.e. the forms, in which the norms of this branch of interna- tional law exist. Theoretical and practical problems relating to the development and implementation of these sources of international air law have been examined.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. On the basis of the theory of ‘the concordance of the wills of States’ developed in the Russian doctrine of international law and the contemporary practice of States and international aviation organizations the following sources of international air law have been identified: (i) international treaties; (ii) international customs; (iii) ICAO international standards; (iv) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air. Each of these sources of international air law has been examined in detail both from the point of view of the rulemaking process and within the context of its role played in regulation of cooperation between States in the area of international civil aviation. In particular, the author shows the specific role in international air law of such traditional sources as international treaties and international customs. As for the international standards and the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, they are described as special complex forms of creation of norms of international air law emerged as a result of rapid development of civil aviation in the second half of the 20th century and its transformation into the global passengers and cargo transportation network. Overall examination of the currently existing rule-making processes and sources of the international air law demonstrates that they are rather dynamic and well take into account the contemporary development of global aviation and the interests of different States.

The article deals with development of a doctrinal system of effectiveness standards for the investigation of corruption crimes. The study used a number of philosophical, general scientific and specific methods of gaining scientific knowledge, including: dialectical method, hermeneutic method, method of systemic and structural analysis, methods of analysis and synthesis, functional method, formal legal method and modeling method. It is proposed to define the investigation effectiveness as the feature of pre-trial investigation, which is characterized by the ability to achieve the tasks envisioned in Art. 2 of the CPC of Ukraine (Law No. 4651-VI, 2012) and can be assessed by checking the number of objectively necessary procedural actions and the effectiveness of making intermediate and final procedural decisions. It is emphasized that the general standards of investigation effectiveness, formulated by the case law of the ECHR, are partially taken into account in Art. 2 of the CPC of Ukraine (Law No. 4651-VI, 2012) through stating the need of investigation being efficient, complete and impartial. The authors formulate scientific approaches to determining the main criteria for the effectiveness of pre-trial investigation of corruption crimes.

INTRODUCTION. Interaction between different legal systems is a substantial challenge for the international law science. Such an interaction becomes even more specific in integration states’ associations which peculiarity is direct effect of the legal acts of such associations with regard to individuals. The article examines various approaches to the interaction between international financial law as a brunch of international law and the EU law. Author outlines different types of the interaction.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Author researched different types of the interaction on the basis of legal empirical materials in the sphere of finance including international agreements, court decisions, recommendations and working documents. Th methodological basis of the research contains general scientific and special methods including logical, historical, analytical comparative and prognostic methods.RESEARCH RESULTS. Interaction typology can be made on the basis of various criteria. International financial law and the EU law use a model of interaction between general and special regime of international law as well as a model of implementation of international law in a domestic legal system. The first model has been applied in two cases. When the European Economic Community was established and when mew Members entered in it (genesis interaction) as well as when Member state left the EU (terminal interaction). In the course of current functioning of the EU gives the priority to the second model. The latter contains two methods of interaction: incorporation and reference. Incorporation of soft law rules has specific features since it may be realized not only via legal instruments but also via recommendations of the EU institutes and bodies.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. Basing on the analysis of rule-making and application of law in the EU finance sphere author argues the distinction between monism and dualism is performed using the criterion of the self-execution of international agreements. Interaction of international financial law and the EU law is pursuing on the level of principles and global ideas and values of contemporary world.

The subject of the research is the establishment and application of official awards at the municipal level of government, including award legislation and the practice of its application. The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis of an existence of an award policy and system of awards for the municipal level of government in Russia. The methodological basis of the research is the general scientific dialectical method of cognition (such as methods of analysis and synthesis, abstraction and concretization, induction, deduction and analogy), as well as the method of monitoring of legal acts, historical and legal method, system analysis. The main results of the research. A comprehensive analysis of existing regulations and description the general contours of the award policy for the municipal level of government were made. The following classification of awards applicable to municipal authorities can be distinguished. By type of award: honorary titles, medals, distinctions and incentives, as well as grants and prizes. Depending on the subject that establishes the award: state, municipal or public awards; moreover, you should distinguish between awards established by a public legal entity (award of the Russian Federation, of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a municipality) or a separate public authority. Depending on the subject receiving the award (the awarding subject): awards that are established both for the municipality as a whole, and for individual officials or other employees of local self-government bodies; a separate category consists of awards provided for the territorial bodies or their representatives. Currently, there is no single document outlining the system of awards of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. Monitoring of normative legal acts of local self-government bodies has shown that it is quite rare to find documents that regulate the award policy of a municipality. There is practically no award policy for local government bodies or their officials, as well as awards for contributions to the development of local self-government.

Models are central in many scientific contexts. The purpose of the article is to systematise and theoretically substantiate cognitive-discursive models of translation in the theory and practice of translation studies. The research methods were general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, observation and abstraction. In the perspective of cognitive modelling of translation, the creation of cognitive-discursive models of translation was preceded by cognitive-heuristic (A. H. Mynchenkov), cognitive-psychological (R. Bell), social-cognitive (D. Kiraly), and cognitive-pragmatic (E.-A. Gutt) models of translation. Thus, the development of the cognitive-discursive paradigm has given impetus to cognitive-discursive models of translation, the main advantage of which is the desire of their authors to take into account not only the text in the analysis of translation but also the mental activity of the translator and the reader while interpreting this text. Cognitive-discursive models of translation (T. P. Andriienko, L. Gopo, H. V. Taschenko) primarily focuse on the translator's cognitive sphere and the author's, translator's and reader's interpretation of reality embedded in the text, which results in paying attention to the bilingual picture of the translator's world. Translation in this focus appears as a reworking of someone else's „mental content”, which traditionally consists of interpretation (analysis of the original text), projecting a conceptual image of the source text on the picture of the world of the language of translation and implementation (creation of the text of translation).
