Abstract Euthanasia or "sweet death" is a topic that has sparked numerous debates throughout history. In Albania, the right to life is protected by Article 21 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania. Regarding the individual's right to die in Albania, both forms of euthanasia, the passive and the active one, are considered criminal offenses and are punishable by law. The problem lies in the fact that such a definition is not found in the Albanian legislation, but such actions are considered as criminal by the interpretation of the law. In this topic we will study the perception of Albanians regarding euthanasia and whether the Albanian legislation should include this form of soft death or not. The protection of life in the country should take the dimensions of a sustainable protection. For this reason, in addition to the positive effects of improving life protection that derive from the application of the entirety of the various criminal justice programs and policies, also including the recent amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania, a concrete and continuous protection should be provided in support of the right to life. I have always drawn a debate on this issue, which deals with the fundamental human right, with the most sacred right, that of life.

The article examines the phenomenon of «domestic violence», which is a social phenomenon that has deep historical roots associated with the legal consolidation of the subordinate position of man. Approaches to the term «domestic violence» are clarified and evaluated. Domestic violence is a serious violation of human rights that the state must uphold and protect. Among them are the right to life and physical integrity; the right not to be subjected to abuse or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; the right to freedom from discrimination on grounds of sex; the right to healthy and safe development, etc. Ukraine has ratified a number of international legal instruments, thus committing itself to protecting people from violence, including domestic violence. The term domestic violence first began to be used in the early 1970s to define violence against men and insults against women. The key to investigating domestic violence is to find out that it is not a single beating or an accidental incident - although such things can happen and will, of course, be considered a criminal offense. Domestic violence is constant violence and insults. This is a situation in which the victim is constantly affected, sharing housing with the aggressor, being dependent on him and even, perhaps, having a sense of love for him. Domestic violence is a product of family and personal conflicts. It was stated that the scope of coverage of domestic violence has significantly expanded in the era of the so-called modern information society, which is accompanied by a more tolerant attitude of the population to the facts of domestic violence and criminal offenses in general. Researchers’ views on the concept of domestic violence were analyzed, which determined its types (physical, sexual, threat of violence, economic, psychological, non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of responsibilities for raising a minor child) and form (criminal and non-criminal). Due to the fact that the breakup of the family and difficult economic conditions entail the possibility of living within one apartment (house) already divorced spouses and their relatives, it is necessary to recognize as potential participants in domestic violence all persons living in one apartment (house) in family or other relationships.

The article is devoted to the procedural determination of explanations of persons and peculiarities of obtaining explanations of persons in the investigation of criminal offenses. Changes to Part 8. Art. 95, part 3 Art. 214 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine (hereinafter – CPC) and new Art. 298-1 CPC are analyzed. It is stated that the explanations selected in this category of the case can be considered as evidence even if they were received before the data entered in the EDDR and can be selected by all the subjects listed in item 19 of Art. 3 CPC, including defender and operational units. It is possible to select explanations from the persons listed in item 25 of Art. 3 of the CPC of Ukraine, as participants in criminal proceedings. Two discussion questions are raised. The first is how the provisions of Part 1 of Art. 63 of the Constitution of Ukraine correlates with the rights and duties of participants in criminal proceedings. Having analyzed the content of item 8 of Art. 95 of the CPC, we state that the explanation can be obtained only with the consent of the person. Thus, the Constitution of Ukraine states that a person may refuse to give explanations in relation to himself, family members, close relatives, but nothing is written about the obligation to give explanations in other cases. Part 2 of Art. 66 of the CPC does not oblige a witness to give explanations and establishes responsibility (, Art. 67 of the CPC, Art. 385 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for refusing to give testimony, but no explanations, paragraph 4 of Part 3 of Article 72-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure obliges the representative of the probation authority to give explanations in court, paragraph 9 of Part 1of Article 56 of the CPC provides the victim with the right to give explanations. From July 1, 2020, problems in law enforcement may arise regarding the explanation given by witnesses in the event that they did not give consent to receive them. This will be relevant in the case of obtaining explanations from witnesses in the case who do not wish to give an explanation at all, and not only in cases where it concerns the witness’s person or persons close to him. In fact, they are not responsible for these actions before the law. The number of such persons may be considerable. Therefore, it is necessary to establish at the legislative level the responsibility for refusing to give a witness an explanation. But, it is quite clear that, before questioning such persons, they need to clarify the requirements of Art. 63 of the Constitution of Ukraine. The second, in which procedural form it is necessary to issue explanations. From 1 July 2020, practitioners must have effective means of fixing explanations, since, without the proper procedural form, information about the facts contained in the explanations cannot be recognized as credible evidence. The possibility of applying Articles 103, 104 of the CPC of Ukraine by analogy is established. Namely, that the results of a procedural action – a survey – should be recorded in the protocol of the corresponding action. We conclude on the need for additional procedural regulation of this issue. Keywords: evidence, sources of evidence, explanations of persons, fixation, a criminal offense.

This scientific article analyzes the basic features and elements of the criminal offense of insult from the theoretical and normative aspect, with specific reference to the analysis of the conditions necessary for the application of the special legal ground for excluding illegality of offensive speech, stipulated in Article 170 (4) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia. Relying on the critical analysis of national criminal legislation and a brief review of national courts’ practice, the author points out to the contradiction of adopted legal standpoints when interpreting the disputed provisions, and emphasizes the importance of ensuring uniform and consistent court practice in this field. Proper and complete consideration of the criminal offense of insult, and especially the ground for excluding the illegality of the taken actions, stipulated in the provisions of Article 170 (4) of the Serbian Criminal Code, calls for precise interpretation of these provisions. Inadequate conduct of judicial bodies entails the possibility of convicting the perpetrator of the criminal offense of insult, even if the requisite conditions prescribed in the positive law have not been satisfied.
