The aim: based on the features of the notion of “abetting the commission of crimes established in accordance with the Convention” provided for in Part 1 of Art. 9 of the Medicrime Convention, it is necessary to offer an adequate understanding of the notion of “abetting” and define the types of criminal offenses (crimes) that are the “subject” of such abetting. Materials and methods: the research is based on an analysis of the provisions of the Medicrime Convention and the criminal law of Ukraine. The following methods were used: dialectical method; hermeneutic method; systemic-and-structural method; and comparative-legal method. Results: at the legislative level, there is a problem of designating the relevant socio-legal phenomena with adequate concepts and interpretations of these concepts. In the current criminal legislation of Ukraine, there is no definition of the concept of “abetting”, which is used in Part 1 of Art. 9 of the Medicrime Convention. Therefore, in the implementation of the requirements provided for in Part 1 of Art. 9 of the Medicrime Convention, each Party takes the necessary legislative and other measures to recognize abetting in committing any crimes, established under this Convention, as a crime, therefore we should take into account the existence of two alternative ways to explain the meaning of “abetting”: 1) to recognize at the legislative level that “abetting” and “incitement” are synonyms, and therefore the meaning of the term “abetting” can be explained by using the term “inclination”; 2) to recognize at the legislative level that the concept of “abetting” has a meaning different from the concept of “incitement”, and covers not only “inclination”, but also “coercion”, “motivation” and “encouragement”. Conclusions: the main disadvantage of using the concept of “abetting” in the text of the Ukrainian translation of the Medicrime Convention is that without an independent explanation of this concept at the legislative level, its content should be determined depending on the meaning of the term “inciter” under Part 4 of Art. 27 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and means inciting a person to commit any of the crimes specified in the Medicrime Convention.

The purpose of the article is to study the essence, factors, and ways for minimization of macroeconomic risks. The subject of the study is the macroeconomic risks. Research methodology. The research is based on the use of general scientific and special-scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge. The dialectical method was used for the determination of the basic causes of macroeconomic risks. The logic-semantic method was utilized for definition of the content of such concepts as “macroeconomic risk”, “collateral systems”, “oversight”. Methods of analysis and synthesis helped us to study individual mechanisms of macroeconomic risks for their prevention and minimization. The comparative legal method was used to compare doctrinal approaches to this issue. The same method was used during the study of the positive experience of European countries in relation to this issue. The system-structural method was utilized during the analysis of the most common macroeconomic models to minimize macroeconomic risks. With the help of the legal modelling method, some proposals for the prevention and minimization of macroeconomic risks were developed. Practical implication. The study of the essence of macroeconomic risks, as well as an analysis of the principles and methods of their evaluation, helped to formulate conclusions on prevention and minimization of macroeconomic risks in accordance with the requirements of the new time. Correlation/originality. The most important tools for preventing macroeconomic risks are considered. It was proved that the strategic factor in reducing the negative effects of macroeconomic risks is the “new economy” or “economy of knowledge”. The principle of civilized regulation of systemic risks is formulated. The most characteristic factors that provoke macroeconomic risks in the sphere of money laundering were identified.

The article is turned out to a scientific search for the concept of "a reconciliation agreement between the victim and the suspect or accused" through the study of the essence of reconciliation and role in criminal proceedings thereof. The author notes that criminal procedural law (until 2012) had been proclaimed another approach to reconciliation between victim and suspect, not involved a dispute procedure as a conflict, the result of which can be reached by compromise and understanding through reconciliation. It is stated that one of the ways to resolve the legal conflict in committing a criminal offense was the opportunity to reach a compromise between the victim and the suspect (the accused) by concluding a reconciliation agreement between them, provided by the Code of Сriminal Procedure of Ukraine (2012). The main attention is placed on the shortcoming of the domestic criminal procedure law which is the lack of the concept of "a reconciliation agreement between the victim and the suspect or the accused", which can be eliminated only through examining the essence or legal nature of reconciliation in criminal proceedings. Taking into consideration the current legislation and modern views on the institution of reconciliation in criminal proceedings, the author's definition of the concept of "a reconciliation agreement" is proposed. Thus, “The conciliation agreement is an agreement in criminal proceedings concluded between the victim and the suspect or the accused person on their own initiative in relation to crimes of minor or medium gravity and in criminal proceedings in the form of private prosecution, the subject of which is the compensation of harm caused by wrongdoing or committing other actions not related to compensation for the damage that the suspect or the accused is obliged to commit in favor of the victim, in exchange for an agreed punishment and sentencing thereof or sentencing thereof and relief from serving a sentence with probation, as well as the statutory consequences of conclusion and approval of the agreement".

Theoretical and applied research of the features of the legal status of the subjects of civil law remains debatable today. Doctrinal and legislative analysis of this subject points to unresolved issues in this area. In particular, the provision on defining the state as a party to civil law remains controversial. There is no consensus on the definition of individuals and legal entities as subjects of civil law among scholars. Furthermore, the legal regulation of certain types of entities is somewhat unsystematic and chaotic. This is largely due to the insufficient development of theoretical issues related to the subjects of civil law. The above issues determine the relevance of the study of the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the legal status of subjects of civil law based on doctrinal and legislative analysis. The study is based on a systematic approach, which lies in studying a complex system of relationships between subjects of civil law. Furthermore, the study is based on the laws and principles of dialectics, which contribute to the study of the legal status of the subjects of civil law. Systemic and structural-functional analysis was used to comprehensively describe the legal status of subjects of civil law. The historical method contributed to the study of the evolution of research on the subjects of civil law. The formal legal method helped identify the special features of the provisions of regulations concerning the subjects of civil law. With the help of the comparative legal method, the study analysed the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine in terms of regulation of subjects of civil law and such regulation was compared with other countries. The study defined the concepts and types of subjects of civil law and considered the features of the legal status of individuals, legal entities, as well as the state as a special participant of civil law. Special attention was paid to the historical analysis of the development of approaches to the definition of subjects of law, starting with Roman law
