Optimal Construction

The complexity of regulation of issues to prevent conflicts of interest in the activities of state, including judicial bodies, is due to the uncertainty of law arising from the lack of clear legislative structures to correlate the rule of law with the actual circumstances that indicate conflicts of interest. The aim of the study is the formation of scientifically based knowledge about the nature of conflicts of interest. The main objectives of the study are connected with the scientific substantiation of a general approach to the definition of «conflicts of interest», taking into account industry-specific features of their regulation; analysis of the main elements of the content of conflicts of interest, features of their legal regulation in Russian and foreign legislation. The modern methodology of comparative law makes it possible to analyze the substantive aspect of conflicts of interest, issues of their regulation, specifics of prevention in international and Russian legislation, for the optimal construction of the linguistic structure of their regulation in judicial activity. As a result of the study, the definition of «conflict of interest» is formulated. The systematic approach to determining the content of «conflicts of interest» is justified, taking into account the particular legal status of a judge.

The Relationship

The article defines the relationship between the principles of the rule of law and legality and their importance in the activities of the National Police of Ukraine. Indicated, that the principle of the rule of law is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine, and in relation to the National Police – also in the Law on it. Attention is drawn to the fact that the definition of the rule of law in the Constitution and the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police» is interpreted differently. Therefore, in a generalized form, the principle of the rule of law is proposed to be interpreted as the idea of the rule of law, which is embodied in the creation of appropriate laws, their proper implementation, prohibition of arbitrariness, human rights, non-discrimination and equality before the law. It was emphasized that it was expedient to define this principle as a general idea in the Law “On the National Police”, as its other components cannot always be fulfilled in the activity of the police. In particular, the authorities and police officers cannot question the compliance of the law with the ideas of social justice, freedom, equality, etc. Nor can they, in the performance of their tasks and functions, be guided by norms of morality, traditions, customs, etc., and not by formally defined norms of law (ie laws). It is in the light of such reservations that it is proposed to define this principle. The police must implement it through certain requirements – legality, prohibition of arbitrariness, respect for human rights, non-discrimination and equality before the law. Therefore, legality is of paramount importance in the activity of the police – the police act exclusively on the basis, within the powers and in the manner determined by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. In this regard, the proposals to improve the legal regulation of the rule of law and legality as principles of the National Police of Ukraine are substantiated.

The Given

The analysis of the legislation on the application of administrative arrest was carried out. It is established that the position of the legislator comes down to the fact that administrative arrest is the most severe measure of administrative penalty, which is applied in exceptional cases. Appointed only by a court decision (judge) if, in the circumstances of the case, taking into account the identity of the offender, the judge concludes that the application of other types of penalties will be insufficient. The uniqueness of administrative arrest is manifested in the fact that it is established for committing administrative offenses with a special anti-social orientation. The statistics of application of administrative arrest by types of administrative offenses and also number of persons on whom the given penalty is imposed on regions of Ukraine are resulted. It is emphasized that in practice administrative arrest as a type of penalty is used very rarely, in some cases its application is complicated by the procedure of its imposition. Attention is focused on certain provisions of the Draft Law “On the rules of administrative arrest” on the introduction of the principles of administrative arrest; features of the legal status of arrested persons; the procedure for placing a person in a temporary detention facility; placement of persons subject to administrative arrest; rights and responsibilities of arrested persons. The expediency of amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses is analyzed. In particular, parts two of Article 32 (Administrative arrest), parts one of Article 294 (Entry into force of a judge’s decision on an administrative offense and revision of the decision), Article 326 (Execution of a decision on administrative arrest and detention on guard duty). As well as additions to the Code by Article’s 326–1 (Petition for the imposition of the pretext and its consideration), 326–2 (Execution of the decision on the exercise of the pretext) and 328–1 (Petition for suspension of the term of administrative arrest and its consideration). The author of the article proposes to amend paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Draft Law “On the Rules of Administrative Arrest”. Thus, adhere to the principle of non-discrimination enshrined in art. 3 of the draft law. According to the author, it would be logical, if there is an established procedure, to establish liability for violation of the rules and conditions of administrative arrest in the form of a separate provision to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. The general conclusion is that the adoption of the Laws “On Rules of Administrative Arrest” and “On Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses in connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Rules of Administrative Arrest”” will improve the legal regulation of application and administrative arrest, as a type of administrative penalty, to address a number of issues that exist in this area, which will ultimately contribute to the rule of law and respect for human rights in the application of the penalty.

The article draws a special attention to the definition of such important categories of legal science as «interpretation of legal norms», «mechanism of legal regulation», «stages of legal regulation mechanism». The particular attention is paid to the understanding of the mechanism of legal regulation and its stages. The mandatory and optional stages of the legal regulation mechanism is distinguished. It is emphasized that the mandatory stage provides for the need to regulate certain social relations, which, first of all, are modeled, detected and implemented in certain subjective rights and legal obligations. The optional stage includes the necessity for an official interpretation of the legal norm in the process of its application. The place and role of interpretation of the rules of law in the mechanism of legal regulation have been determined. The article defines that the interpretation of legal norms is a process of clarifying of the content of the rule of law by the relevant subjects in order to ensure an unambiguous understanding of the content, its accurate and balanced application by both authorized and relevant entities in specific legal relations. The research at the general theoretical and methodological level distinguishes the essence and peculiarities of interpretation of legal norms, functional orientation, methods and means of its implementation. It is noted that the interpretation of legal norms ensures an unambiguous understanding of the rule of law, has an informational orientation and forms the legal consciousness of the subjects, the motivation for their behavior, is the basic basis for the development of the legal culture of society, the determinant of legal influence and the basis for improving legal regulation. The article states that the interpretation of legal norms has an important place in the mechanism of legal regulation along with its other components. It is characterized by the fact that it is carried out by analyzing of legal norms through a system of legal assessments, views, ideas, etc. Keywords: legal norm, interpretation of legal norms, functions of interpretation of legal norms, legal regulation,mechanism of legal regulation, stages of legal regulation mechanism

AbstractThe rash of conflict of interest incidents involving cabinet ministers in Canada in 1986, 1987 and early 1988 can in part be explained by the fact that no clear connection exists in most of the conflict of interest rules between the substance of the rules and basic constitutional principles. Unless ministers understand the reasons for the increasingly complex rules, a high degree of compliance with them is unrealistic. The article explores the connection between the rule of law, social equality, the principle of ministerial impartiality and conflict of interest legislation and guidelines. The conflict of interest rules have usually been drafted hastily in reaction to scandals, with little thought given to their constitutional basis. Thirty-five recent conflict of interest incidents are classified and analyzed. Many might have been avoided if the constitutional reasons for the rules had been better understood. Nevertheless, with regard to the overlap between conflicts of interest and political patronage, the Canadian political system has not developed a clear set of expectations for ministerial behaviour in all circumstances.

AbstractThe present article maps the explicit references to the rule of law in the jurisprudence of the ECtHR by examining the judgments of the Grand Chamber and the Plenary Court. On the basis of the structured analysis it seeks to identify the constitutive elements of the Court’s rule of law concept and contrast it with the author’s working definition and the position of other Council of Europe organs. The review of the case-law indicates that the Court primarily associates the rule of law with access to court, judicial safeguards, legality and democracy, and it follows a moderately thick definition of the concept including formal, procedural and some substantive elements. The rule of law references are predominantly ancillary arguments giving weight to other Convention-based considerations and it is not applied as a self-standing standard.

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

This article is devoted to the legal problems associated with the provision of patent protection for the results of scientific activities created by artificial intelligence systems. The authors explore the approaches formulated by doctrine and practice in relation to objects created by robotic systems, computer technology and AI. The problem of the relationship between patent protection of the results of scientific (scientific and technical) activities and artificial intelligence systems is becoming more and more urgent. Modern AI systems are quite capable of creating inventions that are the result of the application (use) of the cognitive (thinking) abilities of a person, that is, such inventions can be patentable. There is no doubt that the increasingly active introduction of AI systems will force national legislators to reconsider the definition of the term “inventor.” In Russian legislation, the issue of patent protection of inventions created by AI is currently not resolved. The review of the state of legal regulation of patent protection of the results of scientific activity (first of all, inventions) created by AI systems, presented in the article, indicates the absence of clear rules both in Russian and foreign law (using the example of individual jurisdictions) regarding the determination of the legal status of this kind. objects and the person who has exclusive rights in relation to them. The use of already existing legal constructions by analogy, as well as the borrowing of foreign experience, can only temporarily solve the issue of patent protection of the results of scientific activity created with the help of AI.

- This paper focuses on migration, law and democracy in order to identify where risk lies. The author concentrates on studying a recent case, the Directive on the Return of so-called illegal immigrants (sans papiers) approved by the European Parliament on 18 June 2008. The usual point of view, that of the dominant discourse, maintains that today's migratory movements constitute one of the structural factors that justify the definition of our societies as the "Risk Society". According to this point of view, the migratory flows entail a risk for social cohesion and even a destabilising potential for both democracy and the rule of law. The risk is illustrated by the menacing image of invasion threatening at our doors, hence the classical argument of the "demographic bomb" as the resource of poor countries. The author's thesis sustains that it is precisely our responses, in the form of migratory policy tools, that constitute a risk factor. Some of these tools, including this Directive, have become destabilising elements of the rules of the game and, moreover, of the values of the rule of law and of democracy.

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine plays a major role in the protection of human rights and freedom, of general interests of the society and the country, and in the strengthening of law and order, thus facilitating the establishment and development of the democratic constitutional state. The effectiveness of performing the duties put onto the prosecution of Ukraine is directly dependent on the prosecutor's offices' employees that are empowered to fulfill their professional responsibilities. The legal status of an employee of a prosecutor's office is specified in the Law of Ukraine “On Public Prosecutor’s Office”. Although, some aspects of these employees' work activity are normalised in the general labor law. This expresses the principle of unity and differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor relations. This article researches theoretical approaches to the definition of the concepts "unity" and "differentiation". The unity of the legal regulation of labor relations is manifested in the legally established equality of all employees. Differentiation is not opposed to the principle of unity, but takes into account the characteristics of different categories of workers and working conditions to ensure equality. The relationship between the general labor law and the special law on the prosecutor's office regarding the adjustment of the labor rights of the employees of Ukraine's prosecutor's offices had been analysed. The key to effective legal regulation of labor rights of employees of the prosecutor's office of Ukraine is compliance with unity and differentiation. It had been determined that the differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the mandatory and priority application of the special legislation norms. In turn, the unity of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the subsidiary usage of labor legislation norms in cases of an employee's individual labor rights not being determined in the special law on Public Prosecutor's Office. Unification of labor law norms governing the labor activity of this category of workers will make it possible to achieve an optimal balance of unity and differentiation.
