Purpose. The purpose of the work is a comprehensive theoretical and legal analysis of the main problems of the dynamics of the regulatory function of Ukrainian law in the context of European integration and international legal harmonization. Method. The following theoretical methods of scientific knowledge were used in the study: the method of scientific analysis; system-structural; historical and legal; axiological; comparative law; formal-legal and method of generalization. Results. The scientific article highlights the process of transformation of the regulatory function of modern Ukrainian law in the context of its approximation to EU and international law. In the course of the research it was proved that in the issues of the European integration course the leading role belongs to the principles of realization of the regulatory function and regulatory influence. In particular, the implementation of the principle of the primacy of international law is for Ukraine a political and legal guarantee of stable relations with Europe and the world, as well as a legal means of protecting its legitimate interests. On the basis of the main principle of priority of norms of international law, such derivative principles of interaction of legal systems of the Council of Europe and Ukraine as: a) the principle of the rule of law should be developed; b) the principle of interconnectedness and complementarity of the law of the Council of Europe and Ukraine; c) the principles of cooperation, good faith fulfillment of obligations to the Council of Europe and the principle of mutual protection of human rights. Scientific novelty. The study found that the regulatory function of law, despite the narrowing of its scope at the domestic level and within national legal systems, has expanded its scope at the international and European levels, and especially at the level of European Union law. In this case, in the latter case, it interacts most closely with the integrative function. Practical significance. The results of the research can be useful for further general theoretical and applied research of the dynamics of the regulatory function of Ukrainian law in the context of European and international legal harmonization.

INTRODUCTION. The review reflects the specifics of the methodological approach, implemented by Yu.S. Bezborodov in the analysis of the current phase of interaction between national legal systems and international law. Reference is made to the creation of a new conception that employs the notion of legal convergence to reveal the mechanism of getting national legal systems affinitive to each other. Attention is drawn to the content of legal convergence, the reasons for its dissemination, the link with international law as well as the correlation of convergence with related categories – globalization, universalization, sovereignty, etc. The author’s views on the interrelation between sovereignty and supranationality, universalization and localization as conditions of functioning of international law, constituting the predominant basis of convergence of national legal systems, are presented. The evaluation is given to the author’s position concerning the methods of legal convergence, in particular international legal integration. The emphasis is given to correlation of the presented forms of legal convergence. It is pointed out that comparative and legal analysis of integration in different regions of the world, including in the post-Soviet space, is important for understanding the current results of legal convergence.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study is based on the conclusions and approaches formulated in the peer-reviewed monograph as well as the materials of the domestic and international legal doctrine on the subject-matter concerned. In writing the review the author used general and special scientific methods.RESEARCH RESULTS. The convergence of national legal systems and international law is influenced by different processes either inherent to the mechanism of international legal regulation or extraneous to it. They are distinguished by their considerable specificity and varied character. However, they do not impede legal convergence to be realized through various forms and methods.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The review of the scientific work led to the following conclusions: a) the author managed to present his own non-contradictory conception of convergence of national legal systems and demonstrate its connection with a number of current social phenomena; b) the monograph provides convincing arguments for the proposed forms and methods of legal convergence; c) the comparative legal characteristics of the regional international integration organizations are detailed and allows to form quite complete and correct comprehension of them. In addition, the review outlines a number of issues interesting for further discussion.

It is difficult to speak of a distinctly “Turkish” approach to international law. First, by and large, Turkish academics do not pretend to represent a systematic worldview that challenges the established norms and practices of international law. Second, they mostly have no claims about presenting views, ideas, and concepts that enrich existing international law. Finally, there is no evidence to suggest that Turkish scholars of international law share the official view of Turkey, roughly over the last two decades, as a “central state” and a “rising power.” Another peculiarity of the international legal discipline in Turkey is its lack of interest in Turkey’s historical past, in particular the Ottoman Empire. This is possibly one of the reasons behind the overall aridity of the international legal literature in Turkey. Even today, most of the Turkish jurists appear Eurocentric/Western-centric in the way they conceive international law. Accordingly, they are likely to show scant interest in legal disputes, developments, or ideas originating in Asia, Africa, and Latin America unless they are taken up by Western scholars. This one-way dependence on the Western literature may also partly account for the positivist bias prevailing in Turkey. The rarity of interdisciplinary analysis of international legal issues is another distinguishing feature of the literature in Turkish. Nonetheless, increasing publications by the new generations of jurists in Turkey have undoubtedly broadened the thematic scope of international legal analysis. Currently, in addition to the classical topics of international law, Turkish monographic studies, which mostly originate in doctoral theses, and academic articles delve into issues such as the right of self-determination, human rights and humanitarian law, and, less frequently, the history of international law, jus cogens norms in international law, globalization and international law, Third World approaches to international law, and some problematical aspects of the UN system from the perspective of international law. This bibliographical study does not include studies that fall under the umbrella of the European Union law or human rights, simply because these branches of international law have become separate disciplines or subdisciplines on their own in Turkey. Besides, Turkish academic publications in these two areas are so numerous that it doesn’t seem sensible to list them as a subheading of international legal analysis in this bibliographical study. Granting that Turkish scholars of international law have shown scant interest in the area of “Islam and international law,” this topic is not incorporated in this entry either. Currently, in Turkey, there is no academic journal specializing solely in public international law. However, Milletlerarası Hukuk ve Milletlerarası Özel Hukuk Bülteni (Public and Private International Law Bulletin), published since 1981 by the Law Faculty of Istanbul University, incorporates articles, book reviews, and case law on both branches of international law.

State Liability

AbstractAs a consequence of the state unity theory, the conduct of all state organs is attributed to the state in an undifferentiated manner. It follows that, in both international and European Union law, state liability can be based on the substance of judicial decisions despite the independence of the judicial branch. However, beyond the matter of attribution, there is a significant divergence between the two legal systems. In international law, the judicial origin of challenged decisions does not influence the application of liability criteria, whereas, in EU law, the liability criteria can be applied to judicial decisions in a tightened manner. This article has the twofold aim of establishing and explaining this difference.

The article examines the effectiveness of soft law as a regulator of legal relations between the member states of the Council of Europe. Existing approaches to the definition of soft law are analyzed.Author proposes to separate from the traditional conception of international law as a system of universally binding norms developed by states, taking into account postmodern trends in the transformation of national legal systems. Soft law is recognized as a real form of modern international law that has legal consequences. The article appoints the sources that make up the soft law within the legal system of the Council of Europe.The influence of soft law acts of the Council of Europe bodies on the legislation of Ukraine is investigated. Pros-pects for the development of soft law in the research area are determined.The role of “soft law” acts is presented on the example of the acts of the Venice Commission (European Com-mission for Strengthening Democracy through Law) and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which are specialized agencies of the Council of Europe.Examples of the impact of soft law acts of the Council of Europe on the national legal systems of the partici-pating countries are analyzed. Their axiological influence on the democratization of national legal systems and the formation of human-centered legal ideology in Europe has been determined. The article determines the orientation of the parliaments and governments of the member states of the Council of Europe on the acts of soft law of its bodies in the legislation. The place of soft law acts of the bodies of the Council of Europe in the system of sources of international and national law is considered through the prism of the sociological school of law.

Introduction: the article deals with the doctrine of modern international law, international legal integration, international security and international responsibility. The aim – to study the development of international law and the interaction of legal systems. Methods: comparative legal, formal-legal. Analysis: there are new forms of expressing scientific positions along with traditional forms. It is connected with Internet technologies. The language of discussion of scientific issues is English now. More attention is paid to scientific and practical problems, less to theoretical ones. There are changes in the methodologies of international law, it becomes a «technology», a process of mechanistic challenge, selection, connection and presentation of a limited set of arguments. International law is a universal means to bring together national legal systems. Results: It is concluded that the doctrine of international law is not holistic now. The legal convergence is the process of convergence of various legal systems and models of legal regulation by international legal means. More over, there is no effective security system both at the universal or regional levels. International responsibility is developing. Its content is being updated at the expense of WTO law.

Transnational Law

This concluding chapter addresses transnational law. Public international law and European Union law are by no means the only transnational legal orders. There are also smaller transnational systems in South America or Africa which are modeled on European Union law, but which lag far behind in terms of importance and level of sophistication. The context of public international law is marked by a number of features which distinguish it from the various contexts of national law. At a very general level, public international law is characterized by a stronger interweaving of fact and law; heightened importance of politics; and a less technical approach to norms, their text, and their meaning than lawyers may be accustomed to. Meanwhile, European Union law is an independent legal system which, at least in its present, highly-developed form, has much more in common with national legal systems than with public international law.

The article examines the problems of legal formation of the institution of hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. One of the most relevant topics in the study of modern jurisprudence is the problem of forming a single European legal space, the inclusion of national legal systems, the establishment of relationships between European integration and national law. The dialectical method and the analysis of theoretical developments of world scientists and general notarial practice show that a number of questions arise related to the correct distinction between the concept of hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. The purpose of this article is to determine the historical and legal nature of the institution of inheritance by hereditary transmission and the right of representation, to clarify the nature and features of application in practice, to refine concepts received from Roman private law and adaptation to international law. The main task of the study is to systematize and analyze the reform of the idea of origin and improvement of the procedure for the transfer of inheritance rights, legal consolidation, as well as development and regression in modern conditions. The article considers the legal constructions that guarantee the transfer of the right to inherit from the deceased heirs who did not have time to inherit to their descendants. It is concluded that it is important to improve the legislative delimitation of the procedure of inheritance transfer by hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. It is noted that these contradictions can be eliminated or reduced by harmonizing the law, which provides for the use of not only international agreements but also other instruments of regulation in order to achieve a certain degree of uniformity of norms.

The European Union law (EU law) and the international law are two different but complementary systems. The variety of cases, the dynamic matter, as well as the many legislative changes both from international and national perspective in the field of direct taxes, gives rise to the necessity to delineate the boundaries between the EU law and the international law. This would help to ensure the proper law enforcement and to limit the possible conflicts between them. In the present paper, through a comparative legal analysis of the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the scope of the EU law is derived, as well as its interaction with international law. This helps to draw conclusions about their relationship, and in particular in the observance of their hierarchy in practical cases.

The scientific article raises the issue of contractual inheritance regulation in private international law. Inheritance is defined as a guarantee of human property rights on the legal basis of many countries in the world, as an important institution of law which requires additional research due to foreign element complications. The article contains examples of how countries define and regulate this issue differently at the legislative level. The views of scientists have been considered and the concept of "inheritance statute" has been formed, which is characterized by its multifaceted composition. To determine it in international practice two approaches are used, which depend on the nature of the property, whether it is movable or immovable. Spain and Quebec have been analyzed as representatives of the application of different approaches. It has been emphasized that the inheritance of real estate is more understandable in contrast to the inheritance of movable property, which is complicated by different mechanisms of state regulation. Hereditary and obligatory statutes have been considered and explained. The article draws attention to the problem of splitting the inheritance statute in private international law, which is common in nature, because it is due to the existence of several possible legal systems to regulate such legal relations. It has been pointed out that this issue is a kind of gap in the establishment of relations with a foreign element and, accordingly, necessarily requires detailed study and research, and as a consequence, the separation of contractual inheritance statute at the regulatory level. This need is primarily due to the fact that there are difficulties in establishing the governing law caused by several statutes and connecting factors, because the imperfection of the connecting mechanisms prevents the establishment of contractual inheritance at the appropriate level.
