The public danger of illegal drug trafficking, drug addiction and related phenomena is obvious; therefore the world community is making significant efforts to counter these phenomena, because only through joint efforts it is possible to ensure an effective counteraction to drug trafficking. For this purpose, states adopt a significant number of international normative legal acts. The issues of countering the illegal drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors are considered both within the framework of general documents on combating crime, and in special acts. Taking into account the European integration course of Ukraine, the expansion of international cooperation in the sphere of combating the illegal drug trafficking drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors, the following issues should be marked as ones of great importance: observance by Ukraine of its international legal obligations; integration into the world system of counteracting drug trafficking; bringing national legislation in line with the provisions of international regulatory legal acts. This article is devoted to the outlined questions. In particular, the provisions of the national legislation in the sphere of illegal drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors are analyzed, and the compliance of domestic norms with international regulatory legal acts in the sphere of combating illegal drug trafficking is concluded. The classification of international regulatory legal acts in the sphere of illegal drug trafficking in dependence to the authority that issued them is given. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the author suggests ways to further improvement of the domestic criminal legislation in the sphere of combating drug trafficking. In particular, it is proposed to criminalize the sowing and cultivation of any kind of narcotic drugs, as well as to partially revise the punishment for certain drug crimes.

Преступность, связанная с незаконным оборотом наркотических средств и психотропных веществ, традиционно занимает достаточно большую долю в общей структуре как национальной, так и международной преступности. Несмотря на принимаемые совместными усилиями правоохранителей разных стран меры, ежегодный наркотрафик демонстрирует стабильную динамику роста. В последние годы размах торговли наркотиками в мире достиг невообразимых масштабов - более 560 млрд долларов в год, что причиняет огромный ущерб экономике стран с высоким уровнем заболевания наркоманией. Государство вынуждено тратить огромные средства на сдерживание наркотизации, что также отнимает силы и ресурсы. Криминологические исследования наркопреступности показывают рост всех показателей, ее характеризующих, как в мире в целом, так и в отдельных странах. Более того, наркотизация общества влечет за собой целый ряд крайне негативных социальных явлений: распространение ВИЧ-инфекции, резкое снижение уровня здоровья населения, моральную деградацию и падение нравственности в обществе и многие другие. Среди наиболее опасных проявлений и тенденций развития современной наркопреступности можно выделить следующие: повсеместное внедрение информационных технологий в нашу жизнь вооружило торговцев наркотиками новыми способами «удаленного» сбыта, а также практически безграничными возможностями по рекламе и продвижению своего преступного «товара»; во-вторых, нельзя не заметить ориентированность наркобизнеса на максимально широкое вовлечение молодежи в наркопотребление. В статье автор проводит анализ конкретных исторических этапов развития уголовного законодательства в части борьбы с незаконным оборотом наркотиков. Crime related to illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances traditionally occupies a fairly large share in the overall structure of both national and international crime. Despite the measures taken by the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies of different countries, the annual drug trafficking shows a stable growth dynamics. In recent years, the scale of drug trafficking in the world has reached unimaginable proportions - more than 560 billion dollars a year-which causes huge damage to the economies of countries with a high level of drug addiction. The State is forced to spend huge amounts of money to curb drug addiction, which also takes away forces and resources. Criminological studies of drug crime show an increase in all indicators that characterize it, both in the world as a whole and in individual countries. Moreover, the narcosis of society entails a number of extremely negative social phenomena: the spread of HIV infection, a sharp decline in the level of public health, moral degradation and a decline in morality in society, and many others. Among the most dangerous manifestations and trends in the development of modern drug crime, the following can be distinguished: the widespread introduction of information technologies into our lives has armed drug traffickers with new ways of «remote» sales, as well as almost limitless opportunities for advertising and promoting their criminal «goods»; secondly, it is impossible not to notice the orientation of the drug business to the widest possible involvement of young people in drug use. In the article, the author analyzes specific historical stages of the development of criminal legislation in the fight against drug trafficking.

The Subject

The authors consider methods of legal regulation of crimes and types of international cooperation in the fight against them. The paper also highlights international measures aimed at implementing antiterrorist cooperation and combating illegal drug trafficking. The main goal is to determine the legal mechanisms for the prevention of these socially dangerous phenomena both at the local and interstate levels. The object of the research is the social relations that develop in connection with and about the peculiarities of crimes that infringe on international security. The subject of the research is the norms of modern Russian criminal law and the norms of international law. The scientific works of the authors listed in the references represent a solid theoretical and methodological basis for this research. However, research into the features of crimes should continue, since not all problematic issues in this area have been resolved. The author examines the concept, content and general features of international crimes that infringe on international security; defines the role of the UN (United Nations) and other organizations engaged in international legal regulation in the fight against international crimes; defines the features of the interstate organizations activities to prevent terrorism and illicit trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic substances. It is concluded that terrorism and illicit drug trafficking are most widespread among international crimes. The authors draw conclusions on the need to perform preventive activities aimed at preventing the Commission of international crimes, as well as on the implementation of a direct fight against such crimes through «detection, prevention, suppression, disclosure and investigation». Summarizing the authors’ points of view on the subject of criminal liability for acts of terrorism and drug trafficking, it should be noted that restraint measures, as well as strengthening responsibility measures, should be preceded by a set of preventive measures. It should also be understood that the effectiveness of anti-terrorist and anti-drug policies in the world, including in terms of the regulation of criminal liability measures, should be supported and approved by the population. To improve the legal structures of crimes that infringe on international security in the countries of the world community, it is necessary to positively perceive the international experience of various states in regulating measures of criminal responsibility and countering the spread of these acts.

Criminal law institutions and basic concepts are being reformatted. This work focuses on the objective signs of theft and the mode of activity - the seizure of someone elses property. The existing law enforcement practice and the current recommendations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the qualification of thefts are critically perceived. The article focuses on provisions of the general theory of criminal law on the classification of theft. This study aims to substantiate the need for correlation of objective signs of theft in relation to the expansion of the boundaries of the object of theft and the method of activity. During the study, traditional methods of the sociolegal and formal-dogmatic analysis were used: documentary, comparative-legal, analytical, systemic, and logical. On the basis of the results of the study, adjustments were made to understand the objective side of theft and expand the boundaries of the method of action. The seizure of other peoples property cannot characterize the mechanism of embezzlement and reflect all aspects of qualification. The prospect of identifying theft with the extraction (receipt) of property benefits carries the risk of erasing the boundaries between embezzlement and other economic crimes. The author proposes models for the development of criminal legislation to establish criminal liability for crimes against property (property crimes). To modify the object of theft, its purpose, and mode of activity, the author proposes to identify a new group of crimes (crimes against the circulation of objects of civil rights) that would cover illegal acts against property and compulsory relations. Further scientific study requires a detailed separation of embezzlement (as attacks on bodily goods), crimes against the circulation of civil rights (as attacks on non-bodily goods), and crimes in economic activity (as attacks on the procedure for performing operations in the economy), summarizing their characteristic features and designing new formulations of crimes in the property sphere.

The tendency to promote alternative ways of resolving disputes and their effectiveness leads to the expansion of the scope of their application. The relevance of corporate dispute arbitration relates to the rising number of multinational corporations and the general tendencies of globalization and regionalization of the world economy. To identify the main tendencies in the development of national legislation, it is necessary to study the genesis of corporate dispute arbitrability. The purpose of the paper is to determine the scope of corporate disputes that may be submitted to the consideration of international commercial arbitration (arbitrable corporate disputes) under the current legislation of Ukraine (in particular, in light of the reform of procedural legislation in 2016) and the prospects for the dynamics of corporate arbitrability in the future. The tasks of the paper are to analyze the genesis of corporate dispute arbitrability; to analyze the legislation of foreign countries on arbitrability of corporate disputes; analysis of the efficiency of corporate litigation in international commercial arbitration; research into the expediency of expanding the range of arbitrable corporate disputes in the national legislation of Ukraine. There was a negative tendency in the Ukrainian legislation, formed by the current version of the COD of Ukraine, regarding the classification of at least a significant part of corporate disputes in the category of non-arbitrable, which not only does not correspond to the general global tendencies in this area, but also significantly reduces the level of investment attractiveness of Ukraine.

Classification Of Images

Over the few years the world has seen a surge in fake news and some people are even calling it an epidemic. Misleading false articles are sold as news items over social media, whatsapp etc where no proper barrier is set to check the authenticity of posts. And not only articles but news items also contain images which are doctored to mislead the public or cause sabotage. Hence a proper barrier to check for authenticity of images related to news items is absolutely necessary. And hence classification of images(related to news items) on the basis of authenticity is imminent. This paper discusses the possibilities of identifying fake images using machine learning techniques. This is an introduction into fake news detection using the latest evolving neural network models

Статья посвящена проблеме учета общественной опасности преступления в сфере незаконного оборота наркотических средств и психотропных веществ при назначении наказания. Рассмотрены различные позиции ученых по вопросу критериев, определяющих общественную опасность совершенного преступления. Отмечается, что происходит формирование нового взгляда на содержание общественной опасности преступного деяния. Автор придерживается позиции, которая включает в содержание общественной опасности преступного деяния вредоносность и прецедентность, показателями такой опасности выступают ее характер и степень. Вредоносность обусловлена прежде всего уровнем наркотизации населения, позволяющим оценить совокупность наступивших негативных последствий приспособительного и преобразовательного свойства наркопреступности. Характеризуя прецедентность, следует иметь в виду оценку наркоситуации, которая проявляется в возможности ее повторяемости и несет свойства человеческой практики. Специфика общественной опасности преступления в сфере незаконного оборота наркотических средств и психотропных веществ определена ее характером и степенью. Обращается особое внимание на то, что характер общественной опасности определен через объект уголовно-правовой охраны. Общественные отношения, охраняющие здоровье населения, определяют социальную сущность преступления в сфере незаконного оборота наркотических средств и психотропных веществ, выступают основанием уголовной ответственности, служат основанием для классификации преступлений. Приводятся статистические показатели различных структур, характеризующие здоровье населения и ситуацию в сфере незаконного наркооборота. Обращается внимание на то, что содержание общественной опасности должно быть закреплено не в постановлении Пленума Верховного суда РФ, а на законодательном уровне, что позволит совершенствовать уголовное законодательство и практику его применения.

Ict Revolution

The internationalization of the reform movement is changing the ways in which governments operate throughout the world (Kettl, 2000). The ICT revolution is fast spreading its reach from private enterprises to bureaucratic agencies. As a result, electronic government (e-government) is both encouraging reform and, in itself, is a way of reinventing traditional structures and procedures and improving how the machinery of decision-making works. The scale of e-government developments is the subject of much research on a global perspective (Kamark, 2004). They show different and conflicting theoretical and ideological paradigms, but very little effort has been made to formulate a framework to define the e-government regimes that emerge in different political and institutional contexts. Since the characteristics of the World Wide Web (WWW) become the parameters from which to evaluate the public organizations and their capacity to innovating in regard to technology policy, the dominant vision of e-government emphasizes service delivery. As Forlano said (2004, p. 35) “the case studies ... bring to life common classification of e-government stages … ,” not to a typology focused on political and institutional features. In this way, a crucial point is underestimated; namely, that the restructuring of the administrative apparatuses because of the WWW is a political choice, and does not take place in a institutional and ideological vacuum, which at the end of the day expresses its nature, whether democratic or otherwise (Barber, 1999).

We consider various approaches to understanding and classifying such phenomenon as “iatrogenesis”. Taking into account the specifics of the stated theme, we highlight informational and mental manifestations of iatrogenesis, we identify approaches where these types differ, as well as approaches where they are identical. Due to this, we analyze informational and mental iatrogenesis from the juridical science point of view. We define the reasons for the criminal liability of a medical worker for “classical” mental iatrogenesis as highly controversial. At the same time there is a civil liability, namely, the issue of causing moral harm. In the context of the consideration of informational iatrogenesis, we propose to pay attention to the provisions of Article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 732 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the provisions of criminal legislation on offenses to which medical workers may be subject, and the provisions of civil legislation on redress for the non-pecuniary damage as a civil liability. The conducted research led to the conclusion that it is impossible to identify informational and mental iatrogenesis from a legal point of view. We substantiate the necessity of conducting work at the legislative level on a clear classification of iatrogenesis as a basis for further research on its individual differentiations, which have legal significance both in doctrinal and practical terms.
