The article describes the criminal liability for rape in the context of amendments to Art. 152 of the Criminal code of Ukraine. It is noted that sexual freedom and sexual integrity are among the most important personal human rights. It is regulated by the Basic Law of our state and no wonder the legislator placed this object of encroachment in the first sections of the Criminal Code of Ukraine after such as the basics of national security, life and health, will, honor and dignity of the person. Violation of these rights is reflected in the mental state of the victim, has a direct impact on the health, normal life of the person. It is established that the separation of Section IV "Criminal offenses against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person" in the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine means increasing the state's attention to the state of sexual relations in Ukraine. Sexual freedom and inviolability are among the most important personal human rights. It is regulated by the Basic Law of our state and not without reason the legislator placed this object of encroachment in the first sections of the Criminal Code of Ukraine after such as the basics of national security, life and health, will, honor and dignity of the person. Violation of these rights is reflected in the mental state of the victim, has a direct impact on the health, normal life of the person. It should be noted that criminal offenses against the life and health of a person, criminal offenses against the honor of freedom and dignity of a person, criminal offenses against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person are the most serious and terrible of all existing in the modern Criminal Code of Ukraine. these crimes, in addition to severe physical trauma, leave in the minds of the victim, his relatives and friends great and horrible memories that last a lifetime, traumatize the psyche and often lead to suicide of victims who can not be rehabilitated.

The research on some aspects of legal regulation of military and dual-use goods black exports is carried out in the article. It is based on the analysis of modern views of scientists on the definition of "shadow market of military and dual-use goods", "black export of military and dual-use goods", "gray export of military and dual-use goods", as well as current legislation in relevant field. It is established that the smuggling process is not identical to the process of black export of military and dual-use goods, as the list of its items, as defined by Article 201 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, is much smaller than the list of objects within the process investigated in the article and the inventory of which is stipulated by the state control over international transfers of military goods, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of November 20, 2003 № 1807, as well as the Procedure for state control over international transfers of dual-use goods approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of January 28, 2004 № 86. The articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine according to which actions within the process under consideration can be qualified are given, as well as the ways of improvement of the existing legislation, through modification of article 333 of the Criminal code of Ukraine that will allow to strengthen punishments for the made actions of the investigated process in the conditions of the special period state. The need for further research in the field of legal regulation of shadow markets for military and dual-use goods should be focused on gray exports, which will form a holistic picture of shadow markets for military and dual-use goods and form a single concept of their eradication.

Subjective Side

The state of research of the concept of consciousness in the criminal law literature is studied. The Consti-tution of Ukraine in Art. 62 declared that a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and may not be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt has been proved in a lawful manner and established by a court conviction. No one is required to prove their innocence. The accusation cannot be based on evidence obtained illegally, nor on assumptions. All doubts about the guilt of a person are interpreted in his favor. This provision of the Basic Law is reflected in Part 2 of Art. 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Art. 2, art. 17 and item 2 part 1 of Art. 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which should maximally promote the implementation of such a constitutional norm. In turn, guilt is a mandatory feature of the subjective side of the crime, the establishment of which is the final step in establishing the crime as the only basis for criminal liability, so its clarification is important. Traditionally, in addition to guilt, the signs of the subjective side of the crime include motive, purpose and emotional state. At the same time, in the Criminal Code of Ukraine there are other features defined by the legislator as mandatory and which reveal the content of the subjective side of the crime. One of them is intentionality. It has been proved that in the science of criminal law there is an opinion that it is appropriate to interpret the term "intentionality" not as knowledge or assumptions, but only as reliable knowledge. In addi-tion, intentionality is considered not as an independent feature of the subjective side of the criminal offense, but as a feature that characterizes the intellectual moment of the relevant form of guilt (usually intent (although in the scientific community there is no unity in this case). However, there is an alternative posi-tion, according to which intentionality is an independent feature of the subjective side, which must be con-sidered in conjunction with guilt. In order to establish the urgency of the need to use the sign of intentionality in criminal law and to understand in more detail its essence, we will consider the history of the development of the use of the concept of intentionality in the monuments of domestic criminal law.

Предупреждение и пресечение картелей как одной из угроз национальной безопасности является приоритетным направлением современной конку-рентной политики государства. Однако картели на товарных рынках (исключение – сговоры на торгах) имеют особую природу, о чём свидетельствуют разное отношение к картелям в отдельные периоды времени, позиции некоторых экономических учений и современные взгляды. Так, представители австрийской школы выступают за отмену борьбы с картелями в принципе. В различных научных источниках встречаются предложения о признании на законодательном уровне экономической целесообразности картельных соглашений в сфере НИОКР, инноваций, при реализации проектов, направленных на модернизацию и структурную перестройку отраслей, о необходимости изменения отношения к картелям, о смягчении государственной политики в отношении соглашений такого рода. Современная антимонопольная политика характеризуется жёстким запретом картелей, заключение которых влечёт уголовную ответственность при наличии всех признаков преступления. Между тем проведённое исследование позволяет сделать вывод о том, что при наличии определённых обстоятельств заключение картеля может быть экономически полезным, а значит юридически обоснованным и оправданным, чему должна при необходимости даваться соответствующая уголовно-правовая оценка. УК РФ содержит необходимые инструменты для учёта многих обстоятельств деяния, содержащего признаки преступления, при решении вопроса о привлечении к уголовной ответственности за картели. Prevention and suppression of cartels, as one of the threats to the national security, is a priority of the modern competitive policy of the state. However, cartels in commodity markets (with the exception of collusions at auction) have a special nature, as evidenced by different attitudes to cartels in certain periods of time, the positions of some economic doctrines and modern views. Therefore, representatives of the Austrian school are in favor of abolishing the fight against cartels in principle. In various scientific sources, there are proposals to recognize at the legislative level the economic feasibility of cartel agreements in the field of R&D, innovation, in the implementation of projects aimed at modernizing and restructuring industries, the need to change the attitude to cartels, and to soften state policy in relation to such agreements. Modern antitrust policy is characterized by a strict prohibition of cartels, the conclusion of which entails criminal liability if there are all signs of a crime. Meanwhile, the study allows us to conclude that in certain circumstances, the conclusion of a cartel can be economically useful, and therefore legally justified, which should, if necessary, be given an appropriate criminal legal assessment. The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contains the necessary tools to take into account many circumstances of an act containing signs of a crime when deciding whether to prosecute cartels.

Despite the measures taken by the state, corruption remains one of the most serious threats to Russia’s national security. In recent years, the legislator has paid increased attention to toughening criminal liability for corruption crimes, the list of which is enshrined at the subordinate (interdepartmental) level. Taking into account the social danger of this problem, we carried out a detailed analysis of the state and dynamics of corruption crime in the country, as well as the geography of its prevalence. In the course of the analysis of law enforcement practice, a number of “dead” articles of the Criminal Code were identified that reduce the effectiveness of anti-corruption activities of law enforcement agencies and neutralize its main principle — the inevitability of liability for crimes.

Problem setting. According to Art. 27 of the Constitution of Ukraine, everyone has an inalienable right to life, no one can be arbitrarily deprived of life, and the state, in turn, is obliged to protect human life. Protection of a person’s life, as a duty of the state, is manifested in the establishment of criminal liability, enshrined in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health of a person” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, who commit socially dangerous acts. whether there are criminal offenses and what punishments they should be committed. The distinction between crimes such as premeditated murder and negligent deprivation of another’s life is important, as criminal law theory still does not have sufficient information on this issue and does not have a complete list of features of the above crimes, but we tried to identify them in our article. Target of research. Deepening their knowledge on the caution of a person’s life due to inconsistency and drawing the line between possible offenses and conditional authority, clarifying the special characteristics of the perpetrator and the victim, outlining the essential features of the perpetrator and the victim, and researching the regulation of negligent proposal of a new version of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The theoretical basis for the study of the problem of murder through negligence are the works of legal scholars, in particular, M. Bazhanov, V. Borisov, S. Borodin, V. Glushkov, O. Gorokhovskaya, I. Zinchenko , V. Tyutyugin, O. Us, E. Kisilyuk, V. Kuts, M. Yefimov, S. Likhova, V. Stashis, V. Shablisty and others. Article’s main body. According to Art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine, man, his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security are recognized in Ukraine as the highest social value. Given this constitutional provision, the legislator should pay special attention to the criminal law protection of human life and health as the most important public relations. So it is no coincidence that considering such encroachments as one of the most dangerous in the criminal law dimension, the legislator established criminal liability for their commission in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health” of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Due to the high public danger and the high prevalence of criminal offenses against human life and health, criminal law theory and law enforcement practice are under increasing scrutiny. Thus, the analysis of judicial practice in recent years shows that, for example, among all murders (Articles 117-119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) the number of persons convicted of deprivation of life due to negligence is about 15 percent annually. In our opinion, it is also advisable to analyze the concept of “murder” by comparing the common and distinctive features of the offenses referred to in Art. Art. 115 and 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to scientific results, we can conclude that these offenses have many common features. It is possible to understand the common features and preconditions for the spread of these types of offenses. Conclusions and prospects for the development. A study of issues related to the criminal law analysis of murder through negligence and its difference from other types of murder, shows that these acts encroach on the identical object, which is “human life as a set of social relations.” Unfortunately, nowadays the dynamics of offenses committed in Art. Art. 115 and 119 is intensifying, so consideration of their delimitation and characterization of their features is very important. The study examines the main features of these types of crimes, as well as analyzes some provisions of national law and proposes some adjustments to them.

The article is devoted to the investigation of forms and types of guilt in the composition of crimes against the basics of national security of Ukraine. The presence of a number of unresolved issues at the theoretical and legal level on this issue actualizes the need for its scientific elaboration and formulation of proposals to improve the provisions of the law on criminal liability. The purpose of the article is to investigate the problematic issues of forms and types of guilt in crimes against the bases of national security of Ukraine, ways of fixing them in the articles of Section I of the Special part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and to develop sound proposals for their solution based on the provisions of the doctrine of criminal law. The article presents the existing approaches of doctrinal interpretation by scientists of the provisions on wine, its forms and types, through which the research of this feature in the crimes under Art. Art. 109 - 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is proved that the most reasonable is the psychological concept of guilt, which promotes the insertion of forms and types of guilt in crimes against the basics of national security with a formal composition, the elucidation of forms of guilt in the warehouses of crimes provided by articles of section I of the Special part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in which the legislator directly does not say that it is one of the preconditions for the proper qualification of the act committed by the person. It is proved that the basis for the conclusion about the intentional form of guilt is based on: 1) a direct indication of it in the norm of the law (Part 1 of Article 110 and Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); 2) indication of the specific purpose or motives of the criminal behavior (Part 1 of Article 109, Note 1, Part 1 and Part 2 of Article 110-2, Article 113, Part 1 of Article 114 and Article 112 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) ; 3) combination of the above mentioned features in one norm (Part 1 of Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); 4) interpretation of terms used in the dispositions of certain articles and / or through the description in the law of the features of the crime (Part 1 of Article 110, Part 2 of Article 109, Part 1 of Article 110, Part 1 of Article 111, Article 112, Article 113, Part 1 of Article 114 and Part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); 5) interpretation of terms used in other articles of the Special (espionage as a part of state treason) or articles of the General part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (conspiracy to commit the actions provided for in part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Article 26 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), attempted murder state or public figure (Article 112 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) (part 1 of Article 15 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); 6) the orientation of socially dangerous acts. The specifics of constructing all these norms testify to the direct intent of the person who committed the respective crime. On this basis it is substantiated that the lack of specification of intent in part 1 of Art. 111 and Part 1 of Art. 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not contribute to the clarity of the provisions of the Criminal Code in the specified part, and the direct intent in the composition of these crimes is evidenced by: 1) special purpose (Part 1 of Article 110 of the Criminal Code); 2) the terms used in the dispositions of the said articles (“violation of the order… established by the Constitution of Ukraine” (part 1 of Article 110), “transfer of information…, transition to the enemy's side, rendering… assistance in carrying out subversive activities against Ukraine”) ( Part 1 of Article 111); 3) the focus of socially dangerous action. In order to eliminate the ambiguous interpretation of the provisions of Part 1 of Art. 110 and Part 1 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code it is proposed to amend them accordingly. The forms and type of guilt in the warehouses of crimes with material composition (Part 3 of Article 110, Part 3 and 4 of Article 110-2, Part 2 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) were not clearly reflected in the relevant rules of the law. It is substantiated that the subject's attitude to socially dangerous consequences (deaths of people (h. 3 Art. 110, h. 2 Art. 114-1), other grave consequences (h. 3 Art. 110, h. 4 Art. 110- 2, Part 2 of Article 114-1) Causing considerable property damage (Part 3 of Article 110-2) can be intentional or negligent.
