Precious Stones

The article addresses general issues of applying the regulatory adopted term “precious stones” regarding forensic examination practice in Ukraine, including in the field of subsurface resources management and gemological evaluation of jewelery. It is shown that domestic legal framework requires to introduce a separate law on gemstones circulation taking into account general principles of property valuation and consumer rights protection. The Article Purpose is to formulate an author’s contribution to the analysis of problems connected with disclosure of gemstones legal nature in the field of forensic science and the development of proposals for their possible overcoming. The necessity in special legal regulation of activity on mining, production, use, storage of gemstones and manufactures thereof, forensic examination and control over operations with it, is defined by intensity of its circulation as well as by the character of legal objects: their rarity in nature, high cost, easy falsification, and, consequently, by increased attention from fraudsters and criminals. The current situation demands to adopt corresponding regulatory measures aimed at ensuring valuables economic use, protecting gemstone consumers from fraud, preventing the use of valuables while legalizing acquired illegally funds. According to the authors, the article outlines three components of which legal nature of a stone is formed in forensic science: 1) the meaning content in which the term “precious stones” is used in gemological legislation; 2) criteria which are the basis of gemstones classification; 3) unambiguity and clarity of definitions associated with gemstones in forensic legislation. The term “gemstones” in forensic science has subsidiary meaning, since in this case the stone cost should possess a dominant meaning as an object of forensic gemological analysis. Existing gemological classifications are not of modern scientific and practical interest, as the lack of a gemstone cost indicator makes them declarative in terms of forensic science. Forensic gemological analysis should be guided by the requirements of gemological, forensic and procedural branches of legislation, and precious stones acting as its object should be considered as property (goods) which is characterized by specific signs of a physical, economic and legal nature as well as an identifier.

In this note, the authors study legal and procedural cases of the application of forensic research in the observance of the common European procedural guarantee ensuring the balance of justice during a trial: Art. 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to a fair trial). Based on the current legislation of the European Union and Ukraine, peculiarities of legal regulation and application of forensic expert research during court proceedings are analysed. It is emphasised that established the approaches and practice of applying specific expertise in the countries of the European Union have some peculiarities. It is established that one of the ways to ensure the fairness of a court decision is using forensic science. While comparing the legal framework for providing justice in Ukraine and the European Union, the authors stressed the need to develop a separate policy guideline (strategy, concept, etc.), such as the Vision for European Forensic Science Area used in EU countries. Detailed analysis of the ECtHR case-law on the application of Art. 6 has made it possible to illustrate the specifics of applying forensic science by complying with the fair trial requirement. It is concluded that the adoption of a fair court decision becomes possible when: 1) the practice of law enforcement and legal provisions related to the dispute context are taken into account; 2) the circumstances of the case are established with the use of content and reference to evidence; 3) non-legal phenomena are taken into account, such as ethical, social, moral requirements accepted in society, etc.

One of the most relevant issues, which todays society face is the use of advanced technologies in the field of GMO and GM-food. Taking a look at the world map of law we can see diverse legal regulation of GMO turnover, especially in the context of regulation and control of genomic studies and their practical application, risk assessment of uncontrollable GMO spreading and technologies of genetic editing of organisms including at the level of research planning. The comparative legal analysis of foreign regulation (including in dominant jurisdictions), provided in this article allows revealing those distinctions, determining the basic tendencies in GMO legal development and connected products with GMO components, including the matters of control with regard to GMO turnover. The analysis allowed drawing several recommendations on borrowing foreign experience for the sake of revising Russian regulation, i.e., taking regulatory measures to develop the relevant sphere of social relationships - legal acts, governmental decrees, etc. oriented towards the development of biotechnologies, raising confidence of citizens in genetics, stimulation of GMO production efficiency, and innovative development. Russia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU); therefore, the article discusses the national laws of these countries concerning GMO and contains recommendations for harmonizing the legal framework of the supranational level in the field of GMO turnover.

One of the indicators of the fulfillment of international obligations by the state in the field of human rights is the perfect definition of the mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. The purpose of this article is to clarify the concepts and directions of the constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. The methodological basis of the conducted research is the general methods of scientific cognitivism as well as concerning those used in legal science: methods of analysis and synthesis, formal logic, comparative law etc. The rights and freedoms of a person are complex. Structural elements of the human rights protection mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the legal framework of human rights, the system of human rights guarantees, and the system of human rights protection. Such legal phenomena as the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens and the constitutional and legal mechanism of ensuring the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens are not identical. Only the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens contains both social and legal conditions and means that ensure the realization, protection and security of citizens' rights and freedoms. The definition of the concept of constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen has been clarified: this is the system of organizational and legal and legal means of influence, through which opportunities for the implementation of rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen are created, and in case of violation or threat of violation, their protection is exercised by the bodies which are not vested with jurisdiction and the protection of bodies vested with jurisdiction. The main activities of this mechanism are embodied into the forms of ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen: ensuring the implementation, protection and security of these rights and freedoms

One of the main conditions for the construction and functioning of the rule of law is the legal regulation of all spheres of human activity, the creation of a reliable effective legal mechanism of state protection of all natural and acquired human rights, in accordance with their legal status. The rapid growth of the needs of modern society in the use of knowledge from various fields of science, technology, art, crafts does not go around such a public sphere as the sphere of legal proceedings, and understanding the importance of special knowledge to establish the truth in economic affairs gives reason to consider forensic science as an independent institution for protecting rights and the legitimate interests of citizens, legal entities and the interests of the state as a whole. In any branch of law, there are branch institutes. In those cases when a particular institution combines the norms of two or more branches of law, it is considered intersectoral. A separate legal institution is a set of rules governing a certain group of legal relations, which are personified by virtue of their specificity. The integration of the achievements of various sciences into the practice of proof is a natural and traditionally studied phenomenon for economic proceedings. But the constant development of all social processes and relations determines the dynamic processes in the sphere of their legal regulation, which are reflected in the changes in the relevant regulatory legal acts. Due to the intensification of legislative activity in Ukraine, which has been manifested in recent years, there is not only inconsistency of the provisions of certain legal acts among themselves, but also contradictions to constitutional principles, and in some cases, to the laws of scientific development of certain branches of knowledge. Unfortunately, such processes are also characteristic of such an important state institution as justice and its individual institutions, in particular, forensic science. In connection with the above, there is a need to analyze the problematic issues of the appointment and conduct of forensic examination in economic proceedings.

The article deals with an important and relevant topic – the definition of the concept and essence of cryptocurrencies, the study of the problems of their legal regulation, the rationale for control over their turnover, as well as the analysis of ways to counter money laundering that involves cryptocurrency. The authors emphasize that measures taken exclusively at the state level are not enough to create an effective, integrated and comprehensive system for regulating the legal status of cryptocurrencies. Therefore, international cooperation and the strengthening of cooperation between various states in the field of cryptocurrency regulation is important. The authors analyze the scientific doctrine regarding the essence of cryptocurrency. It was found out that there was no single approach to the definition of “cryptocurrency” among scientists. Moreover, cryptocurrencies in various laws of the world have different status. The authors used general scientific and special scientific methods, which provided an objective analysis of the purpose of the study. The research methods were used in interconnection and interdependence, which ensured the comprehensiveness and completeness of the research, as well as the validity of the obtained scientific results. The authors have determined states where cryptocurrency has an official status, is at the initial stage of legal regulation or completely prohibited at the state level. The relevance of the research consists in the actual absence of the legal framework for the regulation of cryptocurrencies, which is conditioned by the novelty of this phenomenon and the problems related to its functioning. The authors proposed their own definition of cryptocurrency based on its main features.

The article examines certain issues relating to the constitutional and legal regulation of local self-government in Russia and South Africa in the context of their cooperation within the partnership of the BRICS countries, as well as the constitutional reforms of local self-government carried out in these states. It is noted that, despite the fundamental difference in the historical prerequisites for their implementation, the constitutional and legal approaches to determining the legal nature of local self-government and identifying its status in the general system of public authority in these countries have similar features. This circumstance, according to the author, indicates the potential for a convergence of the systems of legal regulation of these countries and actualizes the need to exchange experience in legal regulation in this area in order to solve similar problems of development of local self-government.
