The article is devoted to the research of the institute of responsibility of public servants in the system of service law of Ukraine. It is emphasized the importance of legal support for the functioning of the public service system, in particular the regulation of the mechanism of responsibility of public servants. It is noted that the institution of responsibility is a mandatory element of the system of every branch of law, including official, because it is this legal entity whose task is to ensure the proper implementation of the legal status of every public servant. Considering the responsibility of public servants from the standpoint of social and legal content, the author emphasizes that the views of scholars on this issue are very different, as they reflect the palette of the worldview of each individual researcher and characterize the various aspects of public relations. In a wide sense, responsibility is a legal relationship between public authorities in the person of its authorized bodies and subjects of law, for the accurate and conscientious implementation of the requirements contained in the relevant rules of law. Analyzing the scientific views of scholars on responsibility, it is emphasized that in general, the liability of public servants should be understood as a procedurally established application of coercive measures of coercive influence on a particular public person for committing an offense. It is stated that the content of the legal nature of the institute of disciplinary responsibility of public servants, in particular in the system of service law of Ukraine, which needs proper research, remains important and extremely necessary for law enforcement and human rights activities of authorized subjects. Based on the analysis of scientific achievements of local and foreign scholars on the legal system, it is emphasized that currently there are different approaches to understanding the systemic structure of legal branches, in particular some scholars remain on the views developed in our time, while others try to adapt European researchers-lawyers on the system of law on modern Ukrainian realities. As a result, the author emphasizes that we can now state that each branch of law, which we call general, special or special law, always contains a list of legal norms in the appropriate relationship and sequence and thus ensuring the ability of the subject of rule-making, law enforcement or human rights activities to achieve the desired result – to create or harmonize existing social relations, giving them the status of legal relations. Keywords: public service, service law, responsibility, legal system, general, special and special part, sanctions.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the general theoretic analysis of legal category “privilege”. The author proposes and argues the hypothesis of the perception of privilege as a form of legal advantage different from such types of this system as courtesy and immunity. The work presents essential and substantial consideration of legal privilege from the point of view of the doctrine of law, historical and modern legislation, as well as law enforcement practice. The aim is to form a view of privilege as a form of improving the legal situation of individual entities with special legal status; to propose its definition. Methodology. Historical learning style, empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Specific scientific methods: technical approach, method of interpretation of legal norms. Results. Analysis of doctrinal sources of Russian and foreign law, historical monuments of jurisprudence, modern normative legal acts and law enforcement practice has shown thatthe category of privilege is often mixed with other legal means, having an incentive or rewarding character. On the basis of the establishment of similarity and distinction elements between privilege, courtesy and immunity, aspects of their interaction and existing contradictions, the author proves the independent categorical nature of privilege, identifies its specific features, which differ from related legal phenomena. Conclusion. In both legal science (theoretical and sectoral) and the system of legislation, it is necessary to clearly distinguish the understanding and application of the legal category “privilege” by means of: establishing legal definition, unification and specifying the provisions of normative acts using backing, incentive and rewarding instrumentarium; achieving the justifiable use of evaluation categories giving the right to the privilege. The actions taken should contribute not only to improving the efficiency of public relations regulation due to the legal advantages system, but also to reducing the corruption risks associated with the granting of such “on top of ” rights, diminishing administrative barriers on receipt and realization.

The author justifies the tendency to increase the role of special legal norms in Russian legislation, established in order to increase the effectiveness of the State’s legal policy on social assistance and protection of subjects with special legal status. The views of scientists on the understanding of legal policy are critically compared, and in particular, the incorporation of the principle of equality in its implementation. Based on the study of legal doctrine, a system of normative legal acts, through a formal-legal approach, the legal position of the individual is inextricably linked to advantages as a form of improvement of the legal position of the individual. As a result, modern special rules of law containing various types of legal advantages (benefits, privileges, immunities and special legal procedures) have been systematized, both for socially vulnerable categories of citizens and for subjects with power. The shortcomings of the modern legal policy to strengthen the legal position of these subjects are argued, including on the example of certain categories of positions in the internal affairs bodies. As a conclusion, the social necessity and the State need for a systematic, scientifically based use of the potential of legal advantages as a means of assisting and protecting the subjects of social relations have been proved.

The relevance of the article is that the effectiveness and efficiency of interaction between forensic agencies and law enforcement agencies depends on many factors, one of which is a properly "constructed" system of legal acts. At the same time, the special nature of the interaction of these entities, the attraction of its content to the administrative and legal sphere, as well as the specifics of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in general necessitates a detailed review of legal principles in this area and determining the place of administrative and legal regulation. The purpose of the article is to establish a system of legal bases for the interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies, as well as to determine the place of administrative and legal regulation among them. It is established that the legal basis of interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies is a system of regulations and their provisions governing the legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies, as well as the content and procedure of interaction of these entities. It is proved that administrative-legal regulation is a type of branch of the general-legal category of legal regulation, which occurs with the help of administrative law and determines the impact of law on public relations of a special nature arising from the activities of public administration. That is, we are talking about the relationship of power and management influence that prevails in the work of public authorities, local governments and so on. This is a purposeful, comprehensive, streamlining impact of law on public relations in the sphere of government, which occurs through the rules of administrative law, which are part of the system of legal principles outlined above. It is emphasized that the legal basis for the interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies have an administrative and legal basis, which is expressed in a large number of rules of administrative law, enshrined in regulations of various legal force. This situation is due to the fact that the norms of this branch of law determine: the administrative and legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies; functions, powers and tasks assigned to law enforcement agencies and forensic institutions; mechanisms of interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in performing their functions defined by law; organizational and practical goals of this interaction; etc.

Общей теорией права и отраслевыми науками достаточно давно исследуется структура правового статуса личности и место в данной структуре юридической обязанности. Доктринально обоснованной является позиция ученых, согласно которой структуру правового статуса личности, в том числе и осужденного к лишению свободы, составляют права, свободы и обязанности лица, закрепленные в нормативно-правовых актах. Несмотря на это, в отечественной науке время от времени появляются мнения ученых-правоведов, которые наряду с системой прав и обязанностей включают в состав правового статуса такие правовые явления, как «законные интересы», «гарантии прав», «юридическая ответственность» и т. д. Кроме того, подвергается сомнению и устоявшееся положение о структуре юридической обязанности как элементе правового статуса. Проведенный авторами анализ уголовно-исполнительных отношений дает основание утверждать, что, несмотря на особое правовое положение осужденных к лишению свободы, структура их правового статуса не изменяется, а юридические обязанности являются неотъемлемым ее элементом. При этом юридическая обязанность осужденного к лишению свободы, как и любого другого участника правовых отношений, всегда корреспондирует субъективному праву и состоит из четырех элементов: - необходимость совершения осужденным определенных (требуемых, должных) действий, предписанных нормативно-правовыми актами; - необходимость отреагировать на законные требования управомоченного лица; - необходимость (обязанность) претерпеть меры государственного принуждения в случае нарушения нормативно-правовых предписаний; - необходимость (обязанность) не мешать контрагенту пользоваться и/или реализовывать законное право. Только при таком подходе к юридической обязанности как элементу правового статуса осужденного ее можно считать не только средством установление границ дозволенного поведения, но и действенным регулятором общественных отношений. The legal status structure of an individual and the place of the legal obligation in it have been studied for a long time by the general theory of law and branch sciences. Doctrinally justified is the opinion of scientists, according to which the structure of the legal status of an individual including a person sentenced to imprisonment, consists of the rights, freedoms and duties of a person enshrined in normative legal acts. Despite this in Russian science from time to time there are points of view of legal scientists which along with the system of rights and obligations, include the legal status of such legal phenomena as «legitimate interests», «guarantees of rights», «legal responsibility», etc. In addition the well-established position on the legal obligation structure as an element of the legal status is also questioned. The author's analysis of penal relations gives grounds to assert that despite the special legal status of those sentenced to imprisonment the structure of their legal status does not change and legal obligations are an integral part of it. At the same time the legal obligation of a convicted person as well as any other participant in legal relations always corresponds to subjective law and consists of four elements: - the need for the convicted person to perform certain (required, due) actions prescribed by regulatory legal acts; - the need to respond to the legal requirements of the authorized person; - the need (obligation) to undergo measures of state coercion in case of violation of legal regulations; - the need (obligation) not to prevent the counterparty from using and / or exercising the legal right. Only with this approach to the legal obligation as an element of the legal status of the convicted person, it can be considered not only a means of establishing the boundaries of permissible behavior, but also an effective regulator of public relations.

The goal of this research consists in comparison of the normative legal acts that regulate the questions of criminal liability for illegal implementation of medical and pharmaceutical activity in Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Russian Federation. The article employs the general scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, generalization. For identification of differences in the content of the corresponding legal norms, the author applies the comparative legal method, which consists in comparative analysis of the normative legal acts of the post-Soviet states. The research materials contain the norms of criminal law, as well as normative legal acts in the sphere of licensing. The novelty of this work consists in the fact that pursuit of ways to improve the national criminal law, the author assesses the possibilities of reception of certain provisions of the foreign legislation. The article explores the approaches towards systematization of crimes for illegal conduct of medical and pharmaceutical activity in the Criminal Code. The conclusion is made on the three approaches of the legislators towards establishment of origin of the object of crime. Analysis is performed on the current state of the practice of constructing criminal law sanctions of the norms on liability for illegal implementation of medical and pharmaceutical activity. The common feature of the Russian, Belarusian, Armenian, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, and Kyrgyz law consists in imposition of a fine as the basic punishment. The size of penalties are compared. It is proposed to expand the sanction of the Article 235 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with an additional penalty in form of revocation of right to hold a certain post or conduct a particular activity for a certain period of time.
