The Article concerns the legal issues, connected with the situation, when a person (or group of people) disobey requirements of the Law or other State regulations on the basis of religious or nonreligious belief. The Author analyses almost all related issues – whether imposing certain obligation on individuals, to which the individual has a conscientious objection based on his/her religious beliefs, always represents interference with his/her religion rights, and if it does, then what is subject of the interference – forum integrum or forum externum; whether neutral regulation, which does not refer to religion issues at all, could ever be regarded as interference into someone’s religious rights; whether opinion or belief, on which the individual’s objection and the corresponding conduct is based, must necesserily represent the clear “manifest” of the same religion or belief in order to gain legal protection; what is regarded as “manifest” of the religion or other belief in general and whether a close and direct link must exist between personal conduct and requirements of the religious or nonreligious belief; what are the criteria of the “legitimacy” of the belief; to what extent the following factors should be taken into consideration : whether the personal conduct of the individual represents the official requirements of corresponding religion or belief, what is the burden which was imposed on the believer’s religious or moral feelings by the State regulation, also, proportionality and degree of sincerity of the individual who thinks that his disobidience to the Law is required by his/her religious of philosofical belief. The effects (direct or non direct) of the nonfulfilment of the law requirement (legal responsibility, lost of the job, certain discomfort, etc..) are relevant factors as well. By the Author, all these circumstances and factors are essencial while estimating, whether it arises, actually, a real necessity and relevant obligation before a state for making some exemptions from the law to the benefi t of the conscientious objectors, in cases, if to predict such an objection was possible at all. So, the issues are discussed in the prism of the negative and positive obligations of a State. Corresponding precedents of the US Supreme Court and European Human Rights Court have been presented and analysed comparatively by the Author in the Article. The Article contains an important resume, in which the main points, principal issues and conclusion remarks are delivered. The Author shows, that due analysis of the legal aspects typical to “Conscientious objection” is very important for deep understanding religious rights, not absolute ones, and facilitates finding a correct answer on the question – how far do their boundaries go?

Despite a long history of ethnographic research on crime, ethnographers have shied away from examining the law as it relates to being present at, witnessing and recording illegal activity. However, knowledge of the law is an essential tool for researchers and the future of ethnographic research on crime. This article reviews the main relevant legal statutes in England and Wales and considers their relevance for contemporary ethnographic research. We report that researchers have no legal responsibility to report criminal activity (with some exceptions). The circumstances under which legal action could be taken to seize research data are specific and limited, and respondent’s privacy is subject to considerable legal protection. Our review gives considerable reason to be optimistic about the future of ethnographic research.

Purpose. The article is devoted to the legal figure of subjective public right in the context of legal protection in administrative matters. Methods. Based on the historical development of administrative jurisdiction in Austria and Germany in the 19th century, the function of the subjective public right is discussed in more detail: When the legislator grants citizens subjective public rights (and thus enforceable claims against the administration), the citizen can assert his or her individual interests before the courts by means of a right of defence against the state. At the same time, this results in an external legal control of the administration (compared to a mere internal administrative control by way of disciplinary measures) and thus promotes the rule of law of administrative action, which is in the public interest. Results. By pursuing his subjective public right, the citizen acting in his own interest indirectly contributes to the correct enforcement of the law. In a sense, he acts as an assistant to the public interest. The granting of a subjective public right also limits the group of persons who can take action against an administrative act, since otherwise anyone could challenge an administrative act. If the legislator has not expressly stipulated in the law which persons are entitled to a subjective public right in which respect, the determination of subjective public rights can be difficult in individual cases: When the law provides for a permit subject to certain conditions, the addressee of an administrative act is necessarily entitled to obtain a permit if the conditions required by law are met. The question is more complex in the case of persons who are not the addressee of an administrative act but who are affected by its effects. In this case, it must be determined by way of interpretation whether the legal provisions whose violation the citizen claims to have violated were passed not only to protect public interests but also, at least, in the interests of individual persons. Only then is there also a subjective public right of the individual to compliance with this provision. Conclusions. The legislator can avoid difficulties of interpretation by means of clear rules on the granting of subjective public rights. In particularly important administrative matters (e.g. approval of infrastructure projects), where the granting of subjective public rights is not sufficient to ensure judicial control of administrative acts, a larger group of persons can be granted party status.

In the article, from the standpoint of legal science and practice of state regulation of migration relations, the author examines the application of legal liability to violators of the norms of migration legislation. The author conducts a theoretical and legal analysis of the institution of legal responsibility. The definition of legal responsibility as a legal reaction of society and the state to the unlawfulness of actions (inaction) allows us to conclude that the introduction by the state of special legal regulation is a form of disposition of state power. The implementation of legal responsibility in the dynamics of legal regulation is characterized by the intertwining of regulatory, substantive and procedural and legal aspects, which allow ensuring the passage of responsibility through all stages and procedures of legal regulation, which creates an ordering effect. In conclusion, the author points out that legal responsibility, being an element of the legal regulation mechanism, clearly demonstrates its specificity and features, as well as general efficiency in the law enforcement process of imposing punishment.

There is a continuous debate in the public space on the need for a legal framework for the partnership institute to ensure equal legal security for the family, regardless of the existence or non-existence of the legal fact of its foundation. The fundamental aspects of the debate include the insufficient regulatory framework and vulnerability of partners before the law, divergent national views on partnerships as a union between opposite-sex partners, religious beliefs condemning non-marital relationships, including the existing property issues in the context of partnerships. According to the Author of the Paper, the existing partnerships in Latvia are discriminated in favour for the marriage due to the moral views and legal aspects, as the individual living in the partnership is restricted in terms of access to information and is vulnerable in terms of property rights. For example, when an individual lives in the partnership, he or she is denied the right to be informed about the health status of the other partner and the existing liabilities in credit institutions. In cohabitation, the individual is not recognised as a member of the family of the tenant for the purpose of the Law on Residential Tenancy and the potential consequences of the partnership may be the denied right to inheritance or tenancy.Main methods used: sociological method for analysing the compliance of laws and regulations with public interests and aims.

Conceptual Foundations

The article presents the conceptual foundations of the disciplinary responsibility of judges. It was found that the legal basis for bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility is governed by the provisions of such documents as the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges», the Law of Ukraine «On the High Council of Justice», the Constitution of Ukraine, the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision Making and access to justice in environmental matters (Aarhus Convention), ratified by the Law of Ukraine dated 06.07.1999 No. 832-XIV, Decision of the XI (regular) Congress of Judges of Ukraine dated 22.02.2013 «On Approval of the Code of Judicial Ethics». It has been established that bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility for violation of professional duties is a guarantee of the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, their interests, as well as a way of forming the rule of law in the country. It was determined that judges can be brought to disciplinary responsibility, the order of disciplinary proceedings on which is based on the grounds determined by the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges». It has been proved that in addition to the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges», the Resolution of the European Association of Judges also has its own list of grounds for bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility, which are clearly delineated for the legal situation in Ukraine. It has been established that today the grounds for bringing judges to legal responsibility, in particular to disciplinary responsibility, are based on factual and legal aspects, where the factual aspects of bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility indicate where the offense was committed and which responsibility is provided. It was found that a disciplinary offense of a judge is the commission of an act (action or inaction) by a judge, as a result of which the duties determined by law are violated, and on the basis of such violations, the judge is brought to disciplinary responsibility according to a specially developed legal procedure. It has been determined that the main body that considers disciplinary cases in relation to bringing judges to disciplinary responsibility in Ukraine is the High Council of Justice.

Droit De Suite

The principle of droit de suite is one of the most important principles in the law of guarantee,especially in fiduciary security. The principle implies that the rights of the creditor as therecipient of the fiduciary objects continue to follow the object of guarantee, wherever theobject is, to guarantee the repayment of the debts of the debitor. The rights which are ownedby the creditor as the recipient of fiduciary security in the principle seem to be absolute, butin fact if it is related to de practice, the principle of droit de suite has certain limitations.The limitations of this principle is whon it is faced with higher interest, the individual rightsowned by the recipient of fiduciary must succumb, as in the case of illegal logging, whichonce was decided to test the Forestry Law by the Constitutional Court (Case DecisionNumber 012/PUU-III/2005). Although the State can perform fiduciary deprivation of theobject which is used for committing illegal logging, but from the aspect of material criminallaw, it cannot be done immediately to destroy the object of guarantee, since object of thefiduciary collateral, is not considered a dangerous thing. Whereas, from the legal aspects ofcriminal procedure, if the case has been decided, then there is a duty of the State to returnthe object of fiduciary to those who own it.From the aspect of civil law, the creditor as recipient of fiduciary who feel harmed as aresult of illegal logging practices may have standing to sue for damages under Article 1365of Burgerljik Wetboek. The provision is used, because the act of illegal logging is an actagainst the law and there are losses caused to the recipient of fiduciary.

This writing is motivated by non-performance of contract settlement as well as acts against the law from the importer to the exporter in an international trade relationship based on credit facilities. The results of the research, the responsibility of the Collateral Manager in conduct of transferred objects should be referred to the mechanism for exercising power based on the principles of Good Corporate Governance through the Collateral Management Agreement. This is to depreciate the risk, in order to the objects cannot be transferred by another party as a Fiduciary. Legal fiduciary recipient has accounts receivable on an object can obtain executorial rights protected by the Law on Fiduciary which is equal as court decisions that has permanent legal force. This research is used normative juridical, through statutory approach and a case approach in the case of the Supreme Court Verdict Number 2239 K/Pdt/2014. Conclusion is based on the principle of lex posterior derogate lex priori, the Judicial Review Verdict Number 997/PK/Pdt/2018 provides permanent legal force and certainty of the executorial rights of the fiduciary recipient over the object of collateral which is still a dispute between the importer and the exporter.

The monograph is an attempt to indicate areas where there are threats to the privacy of an individual in the conditions of development of new technologies and to determine necessary regulatory directions. There is no doubt that one of the task of the state is to protect the safety of its citizens. Necessary is therefore to establish the status of an individual in the conditions of legal regulations ensuring protecting personal and public safety, and indication of new rules for the operation of public administration and to specify the limits of interference by public authorities. Implemented by state authorities some tasks may constitute a significant limitation of the legal protection of life private entity, guaranteed in art. 47 of the Polish Constitution. In that sense there is a natural antinomy between state security and privacy of the individual, the freedom of the individual from state interference. Society undoubtedly, it is willing to give up part of its freedom in exchange for security. These concessions are called part of the social contract. Challenge but it is the fixing of mutual limits of concessions between freedom and safety. How much can an individual be expected to relinquish freedom for the sake of common security and vice versa, to what extent can be waived from the implementation of security policy to ensure the necessary scope of freedom.
