International Police Cooperation

The article is devoted to problems of international legal relations regulation in the field of cooperation between law enforcement authorities. The principal focus is laid particularly on police cooperation that gives the edge in countering the current challenges to national and global security. The meaning of such cooperation as an object of international legal regulation is given a thorough analysis. The main perspectives of implementing the international police cooperation are determined in view of the existing threats to the security environment as well as by taking into account the transboundary nature of criminal behavior. The process structure of the international legal relations regulation in the sphere of police cooperation is addressed. It is shown that such regulation is based on the needs of the countries’ national security, but with due regard to national legislation. The latter settles two problems outright: preventing the restriction of national sovereignty and ensuring maximum legality in the criminal prosecution process. The character and emphasis of international legal relations regulation in the sphere of police cooperation were determined. It is emphasized that such regulation includes separate methods of international, administrative and criminal procedural law. Thus, it is concluded that the development of a separate branch of law is a prerequisite, especially in the legal doctrine of international police law. This will ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of international law in the national legal system.

In the article, the authors consider the problems of the formation and implementation of criminal policy in relation to crimes committed in the field of entrepreneurial activity in the context of the development of criminal and criminal procedural law and law enforcement practice. In the Russian Federation, special attention is paid to building trust between government and business; stability and predictability of legal regulation of economic relations; the formation of a law enforcement system that effectively protects economic rights and freedom of entrepreneurship. At the same time, the current norms on responsibility for crimes of an eco-nomic orientation in conjunction with procedural forms of criminal proceedings, as well as their actual implementation, cause justified concern in the science of law and law enforcement practice due to their imperfection. Ensuring the protection of economic relations should be expressed not only in combating economic crime, but also in the development of effective criminal law and criminal procedural mechanisms for protecting the legitimate interests of entrepreneurs who may be involved in the sphere of criminal proceedings. The leading components of Russian criminal policy in the field of economic security are such forms of legislative transformation as criminalization and decriminalization. The ongoing socio-political and economic transformations necessitate the decriminalization of certain acts (for example, in relation to pseudo-business; deliberately false advertising, consumer fraud, etc.) or require the criminalization of certain acts in the economic sphere (in particular, in relation to the falsification of a single state register of legal entities, illegal retail sale of alco-holic and alcohol-containing food products, etc.) The humanization of legislation is substantiated by modern concepts of substantive and procedural guarantees for ensuring the rights of entrepreneurs, aimed at mitigating measures of criminal repression, the need to maintain a balance of private and public interests that need appropriate legal protection. Modern criminal policy is inevitably associated with the further modernization of criminal proceedings, the democratization of its principles and means of law enforcement. At the same time, the main emphasis is placed on the creation of a special, favorable procedural regime in the conduct of preliminary investigation and court proceedings. First of all, this concerns changes in the procedure for applying preventive measures. In addition, in cases of crimes in the field of entrepreneurial and other economic activity, the criminal procedure legislation has undergone changes, fixing the features: the procedure for considering a report of a crime; initiation of a criminal case against entrepreneurs; the performance of procedural actions with electronic media, other items and documents seized in the course of criminal proceedings; release from criminal liability and termination of criminal prosecution, etc. It is concluded that, within the framework of the state's criminal policy, one should expect changes and additions to criminal and criminal procedural legislation aimed at strengthening trust between the government and business, the formation of a fair law enforcement system that can effectively protect basic economic rights and freedom of entrepreneurship.

Prosecution authorities in most countries act as guarantors of the legality and validity of criminal prosecution, thereby ensuring the social and economic well-being of the state and society. Outdated paper forms of interaction between prosecution authorities and other law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations overload the existing system and make it less effective. Using the main general scientific methods of cognition, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the legal regulation of the digitalization of the prosecution authorities. As a result of the study, three main tasks have been identified to which the digitalization of the activities of the prosecution authorities should be directed.

The current Russian criminal procedural law provides the possibility of the state accuser’s waiver to handle the prosecution, which entails a mandatory cessation of criminal proceedings. However, some procedural aspects of the refusal to hold the charge are not fully regulated, which causes difficulties in law enforcement practice. The paper briefly analyses the legality of introducing compromise principles into criminal proceedings since the refusal to prosecute is often interpreted as a particular case of compromise. The author argues that concord is suitable for activity based on dispositivity and particular principles (civil proceedings), though cannot be a driving force of criminal proceedings of the public legal nature aimed at achieving the truth about the circumstances of a crime committed. The paper considers the possibility, within the framework of the current legislation, to prevent an unreasonable decision of the refusal to hold the charge. The author analyzes the ability of a victim to refer to the superior public procurator as well as to implement the criminal prosecution independently. The paper states that the current law in terms of the regulation of waiver of prosecution does not fully correspond to the purpose and social orientation of criminal proceedings. In this regard, the author analyzes the by-laws of the General Procurator of the Russian Federation arranging this procedure and providing for the necessity for prior consent of a procurator who approved the indictment. The paper concludes that the law needs to be adjusted to optimize the regulation of the waiver of prosecution and formulates concrete proposals.

The subject of this article was one of the fundamental and debatable provisions of the doctrine of civil procedural law - its subject. The author on the basis of the analysis of scientific sources, the legislation carried out the retrospective analysis of formation and development of scientific thought concerning definition of a subject of civil procedural law. The paper identifies two main approaches to understanding the subject of the industry and elements of its structure. Analyzing the "narrow" approach to defining the subject of civil procedural law and certain areas of its coverage in the works of scholars, the author substantiates the position on the relationship between procedural activities and social relations that arise between the court and the parties. Particular attention is paid to the history of inclusion in the subject of civil procedural law enforcement proceedings. The author's position on the subject and system of civil procedural law is substantiated. The essence of the "broad" approach to the definition of the subject of the industry by including in its structure of non-jurisdictional forms of legal protection is revealed. The essence of two opposite tendencies in scientific researches concerning structure of a subject of civil procedural law is revealed: the first tendency is reduced to expansion of a subject at the expense of inclusion in it of economic procedural law, at ignoring independent character of this branch of law; the second - the narrowing of the subject of civil procedural law by removing from its structure of enforcement proceedings, the relations arising in the consideration of labor cases. The connection between the definition of the subject of civil procedural law and the jurisdiction of the court defined in the legislation is substantiated. It is proved that the tendency to narrow the subject of civil procedural law was embodied in the legislation of the country as a result of judicial reform in 2016, which led to conflicts in legislation and problems in law enforcement. Based on the theoretical model of determining the subject of legal regulation and using the analogy of determining its structure, the elements of the structure of the subject of civil procedural law are distinguished and its definition is formulated.

Actual Content

The article is devoted to determining the place of legal doctrine in the system of sources of law and substantiating its importance in the process of protection of human rights as a legitimate basis for legal argumentation. An analysis of current scientific research suggests that today there is no single unified perception of the category of legal doctrine among both legal theorists and law enforcers. The author points out a number of conflicting points that need to be finally resolved. In particular, there is no understanding from which point an idea, concept or view of law can be considered doctrinal. In this case, it is possible to use the experience of Western jurisprudence, which uses a variety of citation indices, which indirectly testifies to the authority of one or another scientific source, as well as informal lists of authoritative among judges of books of lawyers. Also open today is the question of securing binding reference to a specific scientific source by law enforcement entities in the process of reasoning of the decision. According to the author, the doctrine is a source of law in every case where law-makers or law-makers use scientific concepts, ideas, views when making legally significant decisions. The Constitution of Ukraine in Art. 129 by declaring that "the judge is independent and governed by the rule of law", in fact, enshrined the obligation to apply legal doctrine in the law enforcement process. In making its decision, a judge, when substantiating a certain legal position, has the right to refer not only to national legislation, but also to use the results of scientific papers, the findings of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, etc. At the same time, the problem of recognizing the legitimacy of decisions based on doctrinal approaches is important. Based on the thesis that law is a product of society, an expression of the public perception of justice, then the public will itself will be the primary source of law. No matter which of the official forms of law prevails in a particular legal system, it must be legitimized (recognized) by society, and therefore endowed with a high degree of authority. When analyzing a legal rule, it is necessary to distinguish its textual expression and its actual content. Legal doctrine, as a more dynamic phenomenon than official legal regulation, is able to formulate algorithms for finding the actual content of a rule of law in the context of its application. Given the tendencies in the evolution of legal regulation in the direction of deformation and decentralization, the phenomenon of legal doctrine can be explained using a differentiated approach to sources of law, distinguishing between "hard law" and "soft law" (soft law). By analogy, legal doctrine can be considered as an informal authoritative source of law, which is the intellectual basis of legal thinking and argumentation, formed within the jurisprudence and represents a set of scientifically sound ideas, concepts, views, which formulate effective models and standards for solving current problems of legal practice. Keywords: legal doctrine, human rights, sources of law, legal argumentation.

The paper discusses the issues of choosing the most effective model of criminal proceedings termination, analyzes the proposed in the scientific literature model of refusal of the discretion of the law enforcement officer when making an appropriate procedural decision. The author, based on the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, studies the relationship between the principle of justice and the legality of procedural decisions to terminate a criminal case and criminal prosecution. The author concludes that the discretionary model of legal regulation of a criminal case and criminal prosecution termination is an effective means of achieving the purpose of criminal proceedings, allowing the law enforcement officer to make a fair decision, given the nature, degree of social danger of the crime, the circumstances of its commission, information about the identity of the person who committed the crime. Refusal of the discretion of the law enforcement officer in the matter of terminating a criminal case will not only not contribute to the humanization of legislation, but will mark the victory of formalism over justice in criminal proceedings.

Construction Law

It has been stated that state policy in the field of construction should have a complete toolkit – a system of means for transferring decisions, tracking their implementation, adjusting plans and measures, attracting the necessary material and human resources, evaluating the implementation of the policy. There has been stated two views on the formation of methods: both methods of a separate branch of law (town planning or construction law) and methods in the field of urban planning with reference to the existing branch of law (administrative, economic, civil). It has been concluded that among the most studied methods of legal regulation inherent for different branches of law, one distinguishes imperative and dispositive methods. The imperative method is aimed at the emergence, alteration or termination of legal relations in the field of urban planning and is implemented by the system of public authorities through the enforcement which results in the issuance of a law enforcement act. Due to its provisions the subjects of these legal relations acquire specific legal rights and obligations. At the same time, the dispositive method is widely used by the subjects of administrative and legal relations in the field of urban planning. Besides, the author has focused attention on the widespread use in practice of: imperative, empowering, encouraging and recommending methods. It has been noted that there is no unambiguous position among scholars on the principles in the construction industry, in general, and the principles specific to the activities of the subjects of administrative legal relations in the field of urban planning, in particular. The author has defined the system of principles of the activity of the subjects of administrative and legal relations in the field of urban planning: a) general principles that determine the general provisions of the activity of public authorities and are based on the legal and organizational provisions of the Laws of Ukraine “On Central Executive Agencies”, “On Local Self-Government”, “On Local State Administrations”, “On Public Service”; b) special principles to be specified in building legislation.
