The article is devoted to the issue of self-designation of the Crimean Tatars. Among the Crimean Tatar people discussions have been going on for a long time on the topic of the true ethnonym: Crimeans or Crimean Tatars. Defenders of the “Crimeans” version claim that this ethnonym is historical and more accurate. Is it so? We analyzed historical sources and described the results in the article.

This article traces the development of the foreseeability test in the context of the nullum crimen principle. While the European Court of Human Rights has introduced the ‘accessibility and foreseeability’ criteria long ago in the Sunday Times case, the Court has only recently started to apply this standard with respect to international crimes. In the Kononov case, judges of the European Court of Human Rights exhibited strongly divergent opinions on the question whether the punishment of alleged war crimes that had been committed in 1944 violated the nullum crimen principle. According to this author, the dissension of the judges demonstrates the lack of objective foreseeability, which should have served as a starting point for the assessment of the subjective foreseeability and a – potentially exculpating – mistake of law of the perpetrator. The Court should therefore have concluded that the nullum crimen principle had been violated.

Several armed conflicts have marked the past two decades in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As a result, the DRC is facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster with the death of hundreds of thousands of people, the large-scale displacement of civilians and the rape of thousands of women, girls and men. These armed conflicts have led to the metamorphosis of the concept of ‘crime’ with the emergence of new forms of sexual violence, particularly the widespread sexual violence used by armed groups as a tactic of war. In response to this avalanche of sexual violence, the DRC has taken a series of legislative measures. It began with the ratification of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) on 11 April 2002. This was followed by the promulgation of the Military Judicial Code and the Military Criminal Code on 18 November 2002 (MJC and MCC, respectively) criminalizing, inter alia, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. In 2006, the Congolese legislator criminalized various forms of sexual crimes as defined by international law in the Military Penal Code. On 31 December 2015, the Congolese authorities promulgated Law No. 15/022, amending and supplementing the Military Penal Code, for the implementation of the Rome Statute. Through this Law, the legislator has included in the Congolese Ordinary Criminal Code rape and other sexual assaults constituting war crimes, and in some circumstances, crimes against humanity. In terms of prosecutions, around 40 cases of rape classified as war crimes and crimes against humanity have been tried by Congolese military courts, and a few other cases are being investigated. This article seeks to assess the progress made by the DRC in prosecuting rape as a war crime and the challenges to such prosecutions. La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) a été marquée par plusieurs conflits armés au cours des deux dernières décennies. Il en résulte que ce pays est confronté à une catastrophe humanitaire sans précédent avec la mort de centaines de milliers de personnes, le déplacement à grande échelle de civils et le viol de milliers de femmes, de filles et d'hommes. Ces conflits armés ont entraîné une métamorphose du concept de ‘crime’ avec l'émergence de nouvelles formes de violence sexuelle, notamment la violence sexuelle généralisée utilisée par les groupes armés comme tactique de guerre. En réponse à cette avalanche de violences sexuelles, la RDC a adopté une série de mesures législatives. La première fut la ratification du Statut de la Cour pénale internationale (Statut de Rome) le 11 avril 2002. Cette ratification fut suivie par la promulgation du Code judiciaire militaire et du Code pénal militaire le 18 novembre 2002 (respectivement le CMJ et le CCM) qui criminalisent, entre autres, les crimes de guerre, les crimes contre l'humanité et le génocide. En 2006, le législateur congolais a incriminé dans le Code pénal militaire diverses formes de crimes sexuels tels que définis par le droit international. Le 31 décembre 2015, les autorités congolaises ont promulgué la loi no 15/022, modifiant et complétant le Code pénal militaire, pour la mise en œuvre du Statut de Rome. A travers cette loi, le législateur a inclus dans le Code pénal ordinaire congolais les viols et autres agressions sexuelles constitutifs de crimes de guerre, et dans certaines circonstances, de crimes contre l'humanité. En termes de poursuites, une quarantaine de cas de viols qualifiés de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l'humanité ont été jugés par les tribunaux militaires congolais, et quelques autres cas sont en cours d'instruction. Cet article vise à évaluer les progrès réalisés par la RDC en matière de poursuites pénales pour viol en tant que crime de guerre et les défis auxquels ces poursuites sont confrontées. Verschillende gewapende conflicten hebben de afgelopen twee decennia hun stempel gedrukt op de Democratische Republiek Congo (DRC). Als gevolg daarvan wordt de DRC geconfronteerd met een ongekende humanitaire ramp die gepaard gaat met de dood van honderdduizenden mensen, de grootschalige ontheemding van burgers en de verkrachting van duizenden vrouwen, meisjes en mannen. Die gewapende conflicten hebben geleid tot een metamorfose van het begrip ‘misdaad’ met de opkomst van nieuwe vormen van seksueel geweld, in het bijzonder het wijdverspreide seksuele geweld dat door gewapende groepen als oorlogstactiek wordt gebruikt. Als reactie op die lawine van seksueel geweld heeft de DRC een reeks wetgevende maatregelen genomen. Het begon met de ratificatie van het Statuut van het Internationaal Strafhof (Statuut van Rome) op 11 april 2002, gevolgd door de afkondiging van het militair gerechtelijk wetboek en het militair strafwetboek op 18 november 2002. Daarin worden onder meer oorlogsmisdaden, misdaden tegen de mensheid en genocide strafbaar gesteld. In 2006 heeft de Congolese wetgever verschillende vormen van seksuele misdrijven, zoals omschreven in het internationaal recht, strafbaar gesteld in het militair strafwetboek. Op 31 december 2015 hebben de Congolese autoriteiten wet nr. 15/022 tot wijziging en aanvulling van het militair strafwetboek uitgevaardigd, met het oog op de uitvoering van het Statuut van Rome. Met die wet heeft de wetgever verkrachting en andere vormen van seksueel geweld die te beschouwen zijn als oorlogsmisdaden, en in sommige omstandigheden misdaden tegen de mensheid, in het gewone Congolese Wetboek van Strafrecht opgenomen. Wat vervolging betreft, zijn ongeveer 40 gevallen van verkrachting die als oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de mensheid werden aangemerkt, door de Congolese militaire rechtbanken berecht, en enkele andere gevallen worden momenteel onderzocht. Deze studie heeft tot doel na te gaan welke vooruitgang de DRC heeft geboekt bij de vervolging van verkrachting als oorlogsmisdaad en voor welke uitdagingen dergelijke vervolgingen staan. Varios conflictos armados han dejado huella en las dos décadas pasadas en la República Democrática del Congo (RDC). A resultas de ello, la RDC se está enfrentando a un desastre humanitario sin precedentes con la muerte de cientos de miles de personas, desplazamiento de civiles a gran escala y la violación de miles de mujeres, niñas y hombres. Estos conflictos armados han llevado a la metamorfosis del concepto de ‘crimen’ con la aparición de nuevas formas de violencia sexual, en particular el uso generalizado de la violencia sexual por grupos armados como táctica de guerra. En respuesta a esta avalancha de violencia sexual, la RDC ha adoptado una serie de medidas legislativas. Todo comenzó con la ratificación del Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional (Estatuto de Roma) el 11 de abril de 2002. A esto siguió la promulgación del Código Judicial Militar y del Código Penal Militar el 18 de noviembre de 2002 (Código Judicial Militar y Código Penal Militar, respectivamente), penalizando, entre otros, los crímenes contra la humanidad y el genocidio. En 2006, el legislador congoleño introdujo en el Código Penal Militar varias modalidades de crimen sexual tal y como se definen en el Derecho Internacional. El 31 de diciembre de 2015, la autoridades congoleñas promulgaron la Ley Núm. 15/022, reformando y complementando el Código Penal Militar, con objeto de implementar el Estatuto de Roma. A través de esta ley, el legislador ha tipificado en el Código Penal Común la violación y otros ataques sexuales que constituyen crímenes de guerra y, en algunas circunstancias, crímenes contra la humanidad. En términos de procedimientos instruidos, cerca de 40 casos de violación tipificada como crímenes de guerra y crímenes contra la humanidad han sido tramitados por los tribunales militares congoleños, y varios casos más continúan siendo objeto de investigación. Este estudio busca valorar el progreso de la RDC en la persecución de la violación como crimen de guerra y los retos a los que se ha tenido que hacer frente en dicha tarea. Gli ultimi due decenni della Repubblica Democratica del Congo (RDC) sono stati segnati da diversi conflitti armati. Di conseguenza, la RDC sta affrontando un disastro umanitario senza precedenti con la morte di centinaia di migliaia di persone, lo sfollamento di civili su larga scala e lo stupro di migliaia di donne, ragazze e uomini. Questi conflitti armati hanno portato alla metamorfosi del concetto di ‘crimine’ con l'emergere di nuove forme di violenza sessuale, in particolare la diffusa violenza sessuale usata dai gruppi armati come tattica di guerra. In risposta a questa valanga di violenza sessuale, la RDC ha adottato una serie di misure legislative. È iniziato tutto con la ratifica dello Statuto della Corte penale internazionale (Statuto di Roma) l'11 aprile 2002. A ciò è seguita la promulgazione del Military Judicial Code and the Military Criminal Code il 18 novembre 2002 (rispet­tivamente Codice giudiziario militare e Codice penale militare), che hanno criminalizzato, tra l'altro, crimini di guerra, crimini contro l'umanità e genocidio. Nel 2006, il legislatore congolese ha definito come crimini varie forme di reati sessuali così come definito dal diritto internazionale nel Codice Penale Militare. Il 31 dicembre 2015 le autorità congolesi hanno promulgato la Legge n. 15/022, che modifica e integra il Codice Penale Militare, per l'attuazione dello Statuto di Roma. Attraverso questa legge, il legislatore ha incluso nel Codice penale Ordinario congolese lo stupro e altre aggressioni sessuali definiti crimini di guerra e, in alcune circostanze, crimini contro l'umanità. In termini di procedimenti penali, circa 40 casi di stupro classificati come crimini di guerra e crimini contro l'umanità sono stati processati dai tribunali militari congolesi e alcuni altri casi sono oggetto di indagine. Questo studio cerca di valutare i progressi compiuti dalla RDC nel perseguire lo stupro come crimine di guerra e l’impegno in tali procedimenti penali. Mehrere bewaffnete Konflikte haben die vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (DRK) geprägt. Als Folge dessen steht die DRK vor einer beispiellosen humanitären Katastrophe mit dem Tod von Hunderttausenden von Menschen, der massiven Vertreibung von Zivilisten und der Vergewaltigung von Tausenden von Frauen, Mädchen und Männern. Diese bewaffneten Konflikte haben zu einer Metamorphose des Begriffs ‘Verbrechen’ mit dem Aufkommen neuer Formen sexueller Gewalt geführt, insbesondere der weit verbreiteten sexuellen Gewalt, die von bewaffneten Gruppen als Kriegstaktik eingesetzt wird. Als Reaktion auf diese Lawine sexueller Gewalt hat die DRK eine Reihe von gesetzlichen Maßnahmen ergriffen. Es begann mit der Ratifizierung des Statuts des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs (Römisches Statut) am 11 April 2002. Es folgte die Verkündung des Militärgerichtsgesetzbuchs und des Militärstrafgesetzbuchs am 18. November 2002, die unter anderem Kriegsverbrechen, Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit und Völkermord unter Strafe stellen. Im Jahr 2006 hat der kongolesische Gesetzgeber im Militärstrafgesetzbuch verschiedene Formen von Sexualverbrechen im Sinne des Völkerrechts unter Strafe gestellt. Am 31. Dezember 2015 haben die kongolesischen Behörden das Gesetz Nr. 15/022 zur Änderung und Ergänzung des Militärstrafgesetzbuchs im Hinblick auf die Umsetzung des Römischen Statuts verkündet. Mit diesem Gesetz hat der Gesetzgeber Vergewaltigung und andere sexuelle Übergriffe, die Kriegsverbrechen und unter gewissen Umständen auch Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit darstellen, in das kongolesische ordentliche Strafgesetzbuch aufgenommen. Was die Strafverfolgung anbelangt, so wurden etwa 40 Fälle von Vergewaltigung, die als Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit eingestuft werden, von kongolesischen Militär­gerichten abgeurteilt, und einige weitere Fälle werden derzeit untersucht. Diese Studie versucht, die Fortschritte der DRK bei der strafrechtlichen Verfolgung von Vergewaltigung als Kriegsverbrechen und die Herausforderungen für solche Verfolgungen zu bewerten.

AbstractThe Special Court for Sierra Leone has been noted for becoming the first international court to convict accused of the crimes of sexual slavery, the use of child soldiers, 'forced marriage', and intentionally directing attacks against peacekeepers. This article analyzes how prosecutions of some of these supposedly 'new' crimes were found not to be in violation of the principle of legality, nullum crimen sine lege. In particular, this article will focus on the crimes of 'forced marriage', intentionally directing attacks against peacekeepers, and sexual slavery: the judgments in the RUF case (Prosecutor v. Sesay, Kallon and Gbao) and the AFRC case (Prosecutor v. Brima, Kamara and Kanu) together reveal two different processes through which the law has proven able to evolve and adapt to accommodate so-called 'new' crimes without violating the principle of legality.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify current measures taken for financial crime’s prevention and detection in the context of Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on data from articles in Indonesian newspapers relating to the current financial crimes, current measures of preventing financial crimes in Indonesia and based on the literature review. Findings There are some attempts to combat financial crimes in Indonesia, both internally and externally. The attempts that have been made for the internal scope are the enactment of anti-money laundering law, the new monitoring system of financial institutions and the formation of a superintendent institution. The attempts that have been made for the external scope are the agreement between Indonesia’ financial intelligence unit Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK), and other countries’s financial intelligence unit, the affiliation member of the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) to combat financial crimes through strengthening its anti-money laundering and terror financing capabilities. Originality/value This paper presents an overview of current prevention and detection measures in the context of Indonesia, and it is hoped that this paper will contribute to the current discussion of eliminating financial crimes.

The paper presents interpretations of the content of the legal principle of nullum crimen sine lege and the influence of this principle on legal characterisation of crime of public propagation of a fascist or other totalitarian governance system and crime of public agitation to hatred based on national, ethnic, racial or religious differences or for reason of a lack of any religiousdenomination. In the author’s opinion, the most difficult problem in the case of crimes typified in Art. 256 § 1 of Polish Penal Code lies in that many layers consider the legal principle of nullum crimen as a commonplace. In the paper, there are several cases presented of adjudications of the Polish Supreme Court relating to what considerations of the legal principle of nullum crimen may cause so that we can obtain clear views on the problem.

THE NOTIONS AND VITALITY OF THE ROMAN CRIMINAL LAWSummary In the recent studies one tends to revaluate the influence of the Roman criminal law on the later penal doctrine, as well as the achievements of the Roman criminal law itself, rejecting the previous theories presenting it as significantly inferior. It is noticed in this study that the medieval jurists idolized the Roman law, adopted it to the new circumstances, and obviously made mistakes interpreting it. And thus the influence of the Roman jurisprudence on the penal doctrine of the ius commune Europe was thoroughly substantial. Notwithstanding the popular opinion also many of the Enlightenment jurists (as, for instance, Gaetano Filangieri and Francesco Mario Pagano) not only knew but also benefited from the Roman criminal law legacy. The doctrine of crime of the successive period was less inspired by the Roman criminal law, which however did not totally lose its significance. It still had some indirect influence, as the nineteenth century codifiers did not stop using the notions of criminal law shaped-up by the mediaeval jurists overwhelmingly impressed by the Roman law.The main part of the study presents a brief overview of the Roman criminal law, especially of the principal rules constituting today the general part of criminal law, principles which could be directly or indirectly found in the experience of the Roman prudentes. It is pointed out that the only Roman lawyer who tried classifying Roman criminal law was Claudius Saturninus (D. 48,19,16). His classification is later discussed in the article as well as some of the crimina (public law crimes), observing that the Romans never separated the Roman criminal law from ius. On this occasion it is underlined that one of the rules often ascribed to the Romans, nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali, not only was not their own invention but it was clearly contrary to the criminal law practice in their times (the principle itself being probably formulated only by a German lawyer, Feuerbach). The Romans tried describing the subjective and objective element of the crime as well as presenting various defences available to the culprits (e.g., age, necessity, self-defence, mistake, etc).In the last part o f the paper the possible influence of the Roman criminal law constructions on the Middle Ages is pondered over. The often wrong interpretations of the ancient sources led to some embarrassment and paradoxes. This explains Baldus’ famous statement allowing the judge to construe the (Roman) statute according to the principles of the ius commune, which would in turn revive the statute and save it from an inevitable decay. The mediaeval lawyers studied and analysed the figures of deliberate misconduct and unintentional negligence (anyway without further effects in clarifying vague issue o f the subjective element of the crime). Some of the defences, like the most important figure of self-defence, known and elaborated in the Roman law came to the teachings and studies of the doctores in their original shape and significance, sometimes even stimulating further development of the penal doctrine. The mediaeval ius commune jurists adopted Roman considerations applying different responsibility regarding the doer’s age as well as Roman systématisations of the crimes subordinated to various legal principles. And therefore the doctores, following the Roman example, drew a line between public and private crimes, these which were officially prosecuted and those which were brought to court on a basis of a private motion. The jurists distinguished between lay-public and ecclesiastical crimes, between ordinary and peculiar offences, dishonourable and regular wrong-doings. Similarly the mediaeval lawyers took over the Roman considerations about attempt and iter criminis as well as concurrence of crimes and offenders.In conclusion the paper, wishing for a future development of the studies on the subject, summarises that the theoretical solutions and considerations in the Roman criminal law wrought out above by the classical jurisprudence outlived their times and became the source of the doctrinal inspirations in the coming centuries.

This article addresses issues arising in the context of transition to democracy in Central and Eastern Europe, namely in Germany (former East Germany), Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The contribution reflects various means of transitional justice which were applied in these countries: access to the archives of secret police, lustration and prosecution of the crimes of the past (successor trials). Central issue of this article is the criminal prosecution of communist crimes. Here authors focus their attention on two interrelated aspects: choice of applicable law and statutory limitations, which both are linked to the principle of legality. Practice and methods in prosecution of the communist crimes adopted across the analyzed countries reveal considerable heterogeneity and from comparative perspective pose a unique legal laboratory. Despite differences in applicable law, including treatment and interpretation of statutory limitations, and differences in overall outcomes of prosecution and punishment of the communist crimes, all countries were conformed to requirements of the principle of legality. The article thus confirms that states, when dealing with their past, enjoy a wide margin of appreciation.Keywords: Communist crimes. Central and Eastern Europe. Transitional justice. Successor trials. Nullum crimen sine lege.

The article is devoted to the actual theoretical and practical problem of today - the creation of Crimean Tatar autonomy. The author responds to the discussions about this problem, which have flared up in the intellectual space of Ukraine in recent months, and offers his view on it. The article analyzes in detail the arguments of opponents of the creation of such autonomy and proves that these arguments are based either on ignorance of historical and political facts, or are based on a deliberate distortion of reality. The Crimean Tatars (Crimeans, Cyrimly) are, according to the law, one of the three indigenous peoples of Ukraine, and according to history, they are a state-creating nation. In 1917-18, the Crimean Tatars attempted to build an independent state on modern foundations. This attempt was destroyed first by the "Red" and then by the "White" Russians. In 1921, the Bolsheviks were forced to create an autonomous republic in Crimea within the borders of Russia in order to ensure the national needs of the Crimean Tatars. In 1928, 1937-38 and 1944, the Crimean Tatars became victims of mass repressions, the last time – victims of deportation and genocide. The author emphasizes that upon returning to Crimea, the Crimeans became one of the main pillars of Ukraine on the peninsula in the fight against Russia's attempts to annex Crimea. In 2014, official Kyiv betrayed the Crimean Tatars, who were ready to oppose Russia with weapons in their hands, and in 2016 it prevented the formation of the Crimean Tatar volunteer battalion. Therefore, the creation of Crimean Tatar autonomy is not only the realization of the legal right of the Cyrimly as an indigenous people, but also the atonement of the guilt committed by the official Kyiv against the Crimean Tatars. Instead, denying the need to create such autonomy or ignoring the need for it can seriously undermine Ukraine's position both in Crimea and in the entire Turkic world.

Resumen: La impunidad se define como la ausencia de castigo a los responsables de cometer delitos. En el caso de México, destaca la impunidad por el crimen de desaparición forzada de personas. La desaparición forzada se ha manifestado en México al menos en tres periodos: la Guerra Sucia, el conflicto Zapatista y la guerra contra las drogas. Los crímenes que se han cometido en esos contextos permanecen sin castigo, por lo que las víctimas permanecen sin ser reparadas de manera integral.El artículo busca dimensionar el caso mexicano sobre el crimen de la desaparición forzada a la luz de los elementos que componen el concepto de impunidad. Además, plantea una serie de propuestas tendientes a contribuir a la erradicación de la impunidad por graves violaciones a derechos humanos.Palabras clave: Derechos Humanos, impunidad, desaparición forzada, crimen, violencia.Abstract: Impunity is defined as the absence of punishment for those responsible for committing crimes. In the case of Mexico, impunity stands out for the crime of enforced disappearance of persons. The enforced disappearance has manifested in Mexico in at least three periods: the Dirty War, the Zapatista conflict and the war on drugs. The crimes that have been committed in those contexts remain unpunished, so that the victims remain without an integral reparation.The article seeks to analyze the Mexican case on the crime of forced disappearance considering the elements that make up the concept of impunity. In addition, it explores a series of proposals tending to contribute to the eradication of impunity for serious human rights violations.Keywords: Human Rights, impunity, forced disappearance, crime, violence.

This article is dedicated to role and significance of the object of the crime in the qualification of crimes. In it the author conducted an analysis the special role of the correct qualification of crimes in the competition of criminal law norms in law enforcement practice. So, clarified accurate and objective qualification is the foundation for the differentiation of criminal responsibility and the individualization of punishment through criminal legislation in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The article examines the issues of legal regulation of procurator’s supervision of the bodies that carried out the inquiry and investigation on the territory of Crimea in 1991 — 2014. The prosecutor’s office activities for timely and high-quality investigation of crimes are analyzed. The contribution of the Crimean prosecutors to the observation of the procedural deadlines, justification of bringing people to criminal responsibility, protection of the rights of people under investigation, taking measures to prevent crimes, elimination of the causes and conditions conducive to their accomplishment has been revealed.

On the climax of the battleunder Berestechko (June 30, 1651) the Crimean Tatars fled, leaving their allies, the Ukrainian Cossacks, in the battlefield. According to the almost unanimous opinion, the cause of the defeat of the allied forces was the successful actions of the Polish army under the leadership of the king John II Casimir, who dealt the main blow to the Crimean cavalry. Under the enemy`s cannonballs, the Crimeans suffered heavy losses and fled, and khan Islam III Giray himself was nearly killed. But there is no evidence that the Tatars deliberately abandoned the Cossacks.

Artikel ini bertujuan merekonstruksi asas ’nullum crimen sine poena legali’ (tiada kejahatan tanpa pidana berdasarkan atau menurut undang-undang pidana), sering disebut sebagai Asas Legalitas, sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 1 ayat (1) KUHP, untuk diharmonisasikan dengan asas ’nullum crimen sine poena’ (tiada kejahatan tanpa pidana). Makna asas ’nullum crimen sine poena legali’ adalah adanya keharusan pengaturan oleh undang-undang pidana. Keharusan pengaturan terhadap perbuatan dan pemidanaan merupakan kelemahan ontologis dalam asas ’nullum crimen sine poena legali, yaitu ketidakmungkinan penuntutan secara pidana terhadap suatu perbuatan, walaupun menimbulkan kerugian besar bagi korban, jika perbuatan tersebut tidak dilarang oleh undang-undang pidana (sebagai hukum tertulis). Makna asas ’nullum crimen sine poena’ bahwa setiap kejahatan harus dipidana, baik berdasarkan undang-undang pidana (hukum tertulis) maupun bukan berdasarkan undang-undang pidana (hukum tidak tertulis, seperti hukum yang hidup dalam masyarakat). Fokus persoalan ditujukan kepada ketiadaan perlindungan hukum terhadap korban dari perbuatan yang tidak dilarang oleh undang-undang pidana, sebagai konsekuensi logis asas ’nullum crimen sine poena legali’ itu sendiri. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian teoritis, dengan menggunakan pendekatan konseptual. Kesimpulan dari pembahasan, sebagai berikut: (a) Tidak ada perlindungan hukum bagi korban dari ’crimina extra ordinaria’; (b) gagasan hukum dalam Pasal 2 ayat (1) RUU-KUHP mencakup sumber hukum pidana, hukum pidana yang harus diberlakukan, penerapan hukum pidana, dan pola pikir aparat penegak hukum; serta (c) Dalam konteks Pasal 2 ayat (1) RUU-KUHP, gasasan hukum ’nullum crimen sine poena legali’, secara koherensi, merupakan bagian yang komprehensif dan konsisten dari asas ’nullum crimen sine poena’. Kata kunci: rekonstruksi, asas Legalitas, ’nullum crimen sine poena’

A Ucrânia teve seu território assolado pela guerra desde 2014, quando separatistas do leste do país se levantaram contra o governo central. No mesmo período a Crimeia foi anexada pela Rússia fora de um contexto de legalidade. A situação pioraria com a invasão russa em 2022, sob o pretexto de proteção da minoria russa no país e, com a guerra na Ucrânia, surgem relatos de crimes cometidos tanto por tropas de ocupação russas, como também pelos defensores. Os crimes aventados são o genocídio alegado pelos russos com relação à sua minoria, crimes contra a humanidade, com ataques indiscriminados à população ucraniana e a descoberta de valas comuns ou mesmo crimes de guerra, com o desrespeito das leis da guerra. Para todos estes crimes elencados o Tribunal Penal Internacional pode atuar, graças ao reconhecimento feito pela Ucrânia da jurisdição do Tribunal, na investigação e julgamento, porém com relação à própria invasão, à anexação e à decisão de recorrer à guerra, há impedimentos legais, o que faz alguns Estados buscar novas soluções para que não haja impunidade, como a criação de um novo tribunal específico para o crime de agressão

The article is devoted to an urgent and insufficiently studied problem. It is the deportation of the Crimean Tatars to Kazakhstan during the Great Patriotic War. The author presented a historiographic review of the literature on the forcible resettlement of certain ethnic groups to the territory of Kazakhstan, which showed the lack of today works entirely devoted to the Crimean Tatars, who, at the behest of the leadership of the totalitarian state, ended up in Kazakhstani lands. In this regard, the purpose of this article was to disclose the process of deportation and residence in the conditions of special settlements of the Crimean Tatars during the war and in the post-war period in Kazakhstan. The author introduced into scientific circulation the materials of the State Archives of the Almaty Region, the Central State Archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the State Archives of the Karaganda Region, and the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, published in various collections of materials and documents. The article discusses the reasons for the resettlement of the Crimean Tatar ethnos to the East, shows how the betrayal and desertion of individual people were blamed on the whole people, as the country’s leadership for the security of its southern borders, within two days they carried out an operation to send old people in freight cars, women and children to the eastern lands. Part of the Crimean Tatars ended up in Kazakhstan. The author, relying on documents and archival materials, examines the resettlement of «Crimeans» in Kazakhstani lands, their living in special settlements, the lack of rights and freedoms, the possibility for children of deported Crimean Tatars to master only technical specialties necessary for the development of the economy of the Kazakh SSR. The number of «Crimeans», their knowledge of their native language, was witnessed by the data of the 1970 and 1999 population censuses, which the author cites in the article in dynamics and in comparison. In the conclusion, the conclusion is presented that, despite all the difficulties of the fate of the whole people, the Crimean Tatars were able to adapt and actively engage, together with representatives of other ethnic groups, in the creative work for the development of Kazakhstan.

Honor killing is a violent crime committed by one or more perpetrators, in which the crime’s intention is to restore honor to their family. In this narrative review, the authors investigate the epidemiology of honor killing in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Furthermore, the social, cultural, and legal aspects of honor killing are discussed. Numerous socio-cultural factors lead to the action of killing for honor in this region. They include deeply rooted patriarchal dominance, the desire to maintain social status, and being poorly educated. Honor killing perpetrators have similar characteristics, such as rating female chastity at a higher price and justifying violence against women. The impact of honor killing on family members is much greater than the perceived families’ beliefs of the community’s rejection of the female’s dishonorable behavior. Silence culture dominates these societies, and many crimes are under-reported in this region. Often, a judicial trial is not conducted for such heinous crimes. Penal code reforms, campaigns to promote human rights, steps to improve the education level, and active participation of civil society in condemning such crimes are a few essential measures that need to be considered in order to curb the social evil of honor killing.

The insufficient degree of common identity at the state level, the distinct regional character of axiological and ideological differences in the Ukrainian society, direct interference with the internal affairs and imposition of common identifications on the part of other subjects of international relations considerably aggravates the threat of separatism, leads to the increase of joint identification of citizens with other societies and their political interests, which can lead to the territorial disintegration of the country. The annexation of Crimea by Russia became a significant destabilizing factor in the region, which sharpened ethnopolitical controversies on the peninsula. The most ethnically dissatisfied are Crimean Tatars and ethnic Ukrainians, who experience constant discrimination due to their ethnic origin, language, and religion from the state authorities of Crimea and Russian Federation. According to the population census, conducted by the Federal Service of State Statistics, subordinate to the Russian power, the peninsula has observed a considerable decrease of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar population: 15.8% of Ukrainians and 10.6% of Crimean Tatars. Russians constitute the majority: 68.3% comparing to 58.3% in 2001. Different sociological studies in Crimea claim annexation to cause the intensification of regional tendencies. Thus, according to the 2016 poll, 35% of the citizens identified themselves, first of all, as Crimeans and not as the citizens of Russia, which considerably exceeds average Russian figures. This dynamics does not obviously fit the ideas of the “Russian World”; thus, the peninsula observes the implementation of the “soft deportation” policy of Crimeans, substituted by Russians. The official data state that during four years 178 thousand people have migrated to Crimea, the prevailing majority of them being Russians. Although Ukraine does not have opportunities for implementing the legislation developed in the time period of 2014–2018 for the regulation of Crimean ethnopolitical disputes on the occupied peninsula, the development and implementation of the de-occupation and reintegration strategy of Crimea is crucial for the protection of Crimean ethnic communities’ rights and restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Criminal liability of an administrative official for damages caused by a tree or a bush as a result of professional negligence The article focuses on the analysis of the dogmatic grounds of criminal liability of administrative officials that manage urban green areas for damages caused by the fall of a tree or a bush. The main focus of the discussion revolves around criminal liability for the failure to remove a plant as a result of the unintentional professional negligence by public officials (Article 231 § 3 of the Polish Penal Code). Particular attention is directed toward the issue of compliance of the crime of professional negligence with the constitutional standard of definiteness (nullum crimen sine lege certa). The text also discusses the possibility of incurring criminal liability for the aforementioned actions on the basis of certain types of common crimes and considers cases of potential concurrence of regulations and crimes.

Tatars and Romanians, during the last century of the Crimean Khanate, included times of collaboration, but also times of dissension, major incidents (captivities, wintering`s, crossings of territories inhabited by Romanians), as well as minor reprehensible events, caused by the Tatars and the Moldavians. The latter kind, ranging from defendants accused of various thefts, rapes, smugglings, beatings, harassments, transgressions, crimes, etc. are detailed in Constantin Mavrocordatos’ Chronicle. This precious source shows that both in Moldova and in the Crimean Khanate there were institutions that controlled such types of daily disputes. More particular situations, such as the killing of a Tatar in Moldova or the killing of a Moldavian in the Khanate, fell under the jurisdiction of the sovereign of the place where that case had occurred and, usually, an amiable solution was found. An eloquent example of this is the command issued on November 26th-December 5th 1726 / evâil rebi ül-âhir 1139, addressed to the Moldavian prince, Grigore Ghica (1726–1733), to solve the discords between the Tatars of Budjak and Moldavians, discords which had been caused by crimes and border passing; the intended solution was to name an apt and trustworthy boyar who would negotiate the misunderstandings with the emissary of the Crimean Khan – Mengli Giray (1724–1730) [3, p. 282]. However, other major events, such as the ones caused by the Tatars’ intrusions over the Moldavian borders, territorial invasions which have known various flux and reflux phases – they all deserve closer investigations.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the development and nature of organized crime in the USA over the past 50 years, emphasizing organized crime's corruption and victimization of legitimate businesses and describing law enforcement's efforts to combat organized crime through specific case studies.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the paper analyzes the control over and corruption of legitimate businesses in the USA by the La Cosa Nostra (“LCN,” or the American Mafia), including the following industries: Las Vegas gaming; moving and storage; garment; waste – hauling; and, construction, and the following unions: the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Laborers International Union of North America; and, the International Longshoreman's Association. The paper also describes law enforcement's successful efforts to combat such corruption through the use of criminal and civil racketeering laws and specific prosecutions. The paper then discusses the emergence in the mid‐1980s of non‐traditional organized crime groups in the USA, including various Asian ethnic groups and large‐scale human trafficking organizations that impact Europe and Asia as well as the USA.FindingsThe non‐traditional criminal groups not only prey on the legitimate businesses in ethnic Asian communities in the USA, but they also engage in complex crimes, alien smuggling, drug trafficking, credit‐card frauds, money laundering, and other financial crimes. There has emerged a new era for organized crime that began in the 1990s with the fall of the former Soviet Union and the emergence of transnational organized crime groups emanating from the nations comprising the former Soviet Bloc. These organized crime groups engage in a wide variety of economic crimes including extortion, fraud, illicit appropriation of natural resources, and public corruption. Such extensive corruption threatens the stability of some of these emerging nations.Originality/valueThis paper will be valuable to law enforcement offices and policy makers to assist them to understand the scope and nature of organized crime's adverse effects upon businesses and economic interests and to develop tools to combat such criminal activities.

The article critically appraises Carl Schmitt’s 1945 expert opinion on The International Crime of the War of Aggression and the Principle ‘nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege’. Each element of Carl Schmitt’s expert opinion is subjected to close scrutiny and contextualised with references, where appropriate, to the icc’s recently acquired jurisdiction to try crimes of aggression. It is shown that Schmitt’s legal arguments are on the whole tenable but that the expert opinion’s assumptions about the position of the ability of ‘ordinary’ citizens to assess their own actions are very problematic.

In post-pandemic, climate-changing societies, the presence of urban greenspace assumes paramount functions, at the same time that socio-economic crises and shocks augment vulnerabilities and insecurities. The recent literature on environmental criminology argues that the geography of crime is not random, and that the presence of greenery, due to its impact on well-being and the environment, can have positive associations with feeling safe; although the opposite effect can occur if spaces are not properly designed or maintained. In this paper, the case study of Porto, Portugal, is presented; one of the municipalities with higher crime rates, that also pledged to double the available greenspace in the near future. As a way to support decision-making, the aim of this study was to present an overall exploratory diagnosis of how street crime patterns, of different typologies, spatially co-exist with greenspaces. Using a 10-year street crime dataset at the segment level, descriptive quantitative methods with the support of GIS have been applied to plot crime’s spatial distribution over time, as well as the walking accessibility to greenspaces. The results confirm crime’s geographical non-randomness, with distinct categories occupying specific locations, even though there was a consistently proportional distribution in the different distance bands. On the contrary, the cumulative effect of the proximity to greenspaces was variable. Almost half of the city’s street crimes (46%) were within a 5 min walking distance of greenspaces, but they were much closer to smaller inner-city urban gardens, with higher densities of street crimes (hot spots), than to larger municipal parks, where lower densities (cold spots) were seen.

The relevance of the study of the value orientations of the young generation of Crimea is of considerable interest due to the low level of knowledge on the part of Russian scientists and due to the need to analyze trends in the basic values of young Crimeans, including in connection with the entry of Crimea into the Russian socio-cultural space. The basic values of the Crimean youth and the value space of young Russians have similar configurations, which are based on family and communication. The authors' interest is focused on the problem of family values and the values of youth education. Family values make up the framework of basic values of young people. A certain type of relationship and upbringing is built in the family, traditions and life experience are passed on. The study of family values of young people is an urgent task in the context of ongoing socio-economic changes in Russian society, the transformation of family values of modern youth. The article deals with family values, family traditions, and attitudes to marriage of modern Crimean youth. Education is the key to successful employment, income growth, and cultural development. According to the author's research in the structure of life values of Crimean youth, education is only on the fifth line of priorities. Family values, health values, material benefits, and the content side of labour top the list of priority life values. Respondents noted that the availability of abilities and their own efforts are the main condition for obtaining a decent level of education. The vast majority of young Crimeans plan to continue their education or engage in self-education. The research results indicate the importance of modernizing institutional conditions for the formation of the educational potential of modern Crimean youth. The empirical base consists of materials obtained as a result of a secondary analysis of data from the sociological study "social potential of youth" (Republic of Crimea, 2018; n = 400).

ABSTRACTDespite the notion's prominence, scholarship has yet to offer a viable account of the view that crimes constitute public wrongs. Despite numerous attempts, some scholars are now doubting whether a viable account is forthcoming whereas others are reeling back expectations for what the concept itself can offer. This article vindicates crime's public character while asserting the relevance of political theory in doing so. After critiquing prior attempts and clarifying expectations, the article offers a novel account, relying on both key doctrinal features and a deliberative democratic framework through which to interpret their public significance. In doing so, it demonstrates how this framework explains the public nature of censure, and ultimately argues that crimes are public wrongs not because such actions themselves necessarily wrong or harm the public, but instead because they are the type of wrong that the public has a stake in addressing. This gives rise to an understanding of sentencing as public decision-making within which citizens and their representatives decide how best to use public power to manage public interests.

Cyber ​​Crimeis a form of virtual crime by utilizing computer which connected to the internet network, and exploiting other devices or computers that is connected to the internet. Cybercrime was previously regulated in the regulation Number 36 Year 1999 concerning Telecommunications, however this regulation has not been able to accommodate virtual and computer crimes. To anticipate the development of information technology, regulation Number 19 Year 2016 concerning Amendments to regulation Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions was issued. In Sawahlunto City in 2019, several cyber-crime incidents were found, such as online extortion, fraud through online , and theft of Wi-Fi wireless streams, therefore a research was conducted on how the cyber-crime events that occurred in Sawahlunto City in 2019 , regulations governing cyber, the causes and obstacles in handling the cyber-crime. The data used are secondary supporting data collected through library research and primary data as supporting data which is carried out through field studies with interview techniques. The results showed that: the discovery of cyber-crimes that occurred in Sawahlunto City in 2019 such as online extortion, online fraud and theft of Wi-Fi wireless streams, knowing the regulations on cyber-crime, namely the ITE Regulation and knowing the factors and obstacles in handling cyber-crimes that occurred in the City Sawahlunto in 2019.

In the democratic countries, one of the main properties of public policy is to ensure the functioning of a stable economy; it requires special attention to the investigation and prevention of economic crime. However, the economic crime investigation can cause certain side effects, such as restriction or deprivation of property rights of individuals and legal entities. That is why the analysis of the peculiarities of the protection of property rights in the economic crimes investigation is particularly relevant. The purpose of the research is to generalize approaches for understanding the economic crime's nature and structure, analysing effective ways to protect property in the economic crimes investigation, as well as the specifics of releasing property from arrest as a way to protect third party property violated in the economic crimes investigation. Materials and methods: a set of general and special scientific methods was used in a study, in particular, the dialectical method; comparative legal method; methods of analysis and synthesis; formal logical (dogmatic) method; statistical method and generalization method. The empirical basis of the study is the cases of the Supreme Court (Ukraine) and the European Court of Human Rights, statistics of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine for 2017-2019, as well as the authors' own experience as judge of the Supreme Court and the High Specialized Court of Ukraine for Civil and Criminal Cases. Results: there are two main approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of “economic crime” defined, its main features are identified and the system of economic crimes in Ukraine is characterized. It is argued that the application of such types of punishment for serious and especially serious profit-motivated crimes as special confiscation and confiscation of property is consistent with the practice of the ECHR. The case law of the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court on determining the jurisdiction of legal disputes on the release of distrained property, used in the investigation of economic crimes, is summarized. Conclusions: for correct protection of the property rights of individuals and legal entities violated during the investigation of economic crimes, the state must ensure the proper functioning of effective legal means of protection of property rights.

Thought crimes are the stuff of dystopian fiction, not contemporary law. Or so we’re told. Yet our criminal legal system may in a sense punish thought regularly, even as our existing criminal theory lacks the resources to recognize this state of affairs for what it is—or to explain what might be wrong with it. The beginning of wisdom lies in the seeming rhetorical excesses of those who complain that certain terrorism and hate crime laws punish offenders for their malevolent intentions while purporting to punish them for their conduct. Behind this too-easily-written-off complaint is a half-buried precept of criminal jurisprudence, one that this Essay aims to excavate, elaborate, and defend: that the proper target of an offender’s punishment is always the criminal action itself, not the offender’s associated mental state conceived as a separate wrong. Taken seriously, this precept would change how we punish an assortment of criminal offenses, from attempts to hate crimes to terrorism. It also would change how we conceive the criminal law’s core axioms, especially the poorly understood but surprisingly important doctrine of concurrence.

Carabus (Procerus) scabrosus crimeanus Mazzi et Cavazzuti, 2014 was recorded in Melitopol (Zaporizhzhia Region, Ukraine). This subspecies has been previously recorded only from the Crimean Peninsula. Possible ways of its appearance in a new locality are discussed. Some data of its counts, distribution and biology are provided.

Because of updating the methodological foundations of Russian criminological science, an epistemological potential of the historical method can be revived. Within the framework of historical criminology, crime is understood not as a fixed number of crimes committed in a certain period of time, but as a social process observed during this time period. At the same time, the historical method is important not only for understanding the dynamics of crime as a whole. It can also be used to correct and clarify existing ideas about its internal characteristics. In particular, the use of the historical method to study traditional quantitative indicators of crime — scope and structure — gives researchers new opportunities. Under this approach, the actual scope of crime should be determined by the present (crimes that have been committed and identified at the moment), the past that must be remembered (latent crimes), and the past that must be forgotten (expired and decriminalized acts). The structure of crime in its historical analysis appears as a combination of independently changing «stable» and «variable» parts of crime. The point of connection of the past and the future in the scope and structure of crime represent criminogenic properties of crime social consequences, revealing themselves in the mechanism of its self-determination. At the same time, the historical cross-section of this mechanism includes a deterministic effect of consequences of past crimes and the fear of future crime. The data on the state, structure and consequences of crime, clarified through historical analysis, can not only correct the prevailing theoretical ideas about crime’s danger, but also makes a significant contribution into our ideas about the real scope of preventive and law enforcement activities.

Este artigo pretende apresentar um estudo sobre a proteção do meio ambiente, bem jurídico-penal, utilizando-se de crimes ambientais de perigo abstrato, considerando o princípio da ofensividade e seus princípios corolários no direito penal constitucional. Ocorre que em crimes de perigo abstrato a finalidade é punir um comportamento, por mera presunção de dano ao bem jurídico tutelado, sem que haja a necessidade de lesão, porquanto não se exige uma lesão de fato, mas a simples prática de uma conduta considerada perigosa para incorrer em sanção. De outro modo, para o princípio da ofensividade o Direito Penal só deve atuar para punir condutas que tenham efetivamente atacado ao bem jurídico tutelado (ambiental) ou colocado à exposição de um perigo relevante, ou seja, o modelo legal obrigatoriamente deve descrever uma conduta que seja apta a vulnerar um bem tutelado pelo direito penal (nullun crimen sine iniuria). Esta problemática será abordada de acordo com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, valendo-se da doutrina, pesquisas e observações jurídicas para formular argumentos sobre o tema. Íntegro do Artigo

This article analyzes celebrations of Russian military victories over the Ottoman Turks during Catherine II’s reign on the examples of pictures (tableaux) featured in fireworks, illuminations, triumphal arches, processions, and instances of live theater. Performing the Crimean conquest via these artistic displays, from the early 1770s—the time when Crimea first begins to appear in them—and until Catherine’s final years, served as a way of incorporating the peninsula as a part of the imperial design and of announcing the Crimean Tatar as the latest member of the Russian Empire’s supporting cast. This paper argues that Crimea’s changing status in the ceremonial culture of Catherine’s court is reflected in these tableaux with their focus on the territory (Crimea) as opposed to its people (Crimean Tatars).

Resumen: El crimen de agresión fue incluido como uno de los crímenes de competencia de la Corte Penal Internacional en el Estatuto de Roma, si bien en la actualidad la Corte no ejerce aún la competencia sobre el mismo. La definición del crimen de agresión, así como el régimen de entrada en vigor y ejercicio de la competencia, fue desarrollado en la Resolución 6 adoptada en la Conferencia de Kampala en 2010, mediante la cual se enmienda el Estatuto de la Corte. En este trabajo se analiza, junto con la definición del crimen, el complicado y en ocasiones enrevesado régimen de entrada en vigor y ejercicio de la competencia, que difiere según los asuntos sean remitidos por un Estado miembro o proprio motu, o por el Consejo de Seguridad.Palabras clave: Crimen de agresión, Corte Penal Internacional, entrada en vigor, jurisdicción, inmunidades.Abstract: The crime of aggression was included in the Rome Statute as one of the crimes under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, although the Court has not yet exercised its jurisdiction over this crime. The definition of the crime of aggression, as well as the regimes to entry into force and the exercise of jurisdiction were established in Resolution 6 adopted at the Kampala Conference in 2010, which amended the Rome Statute. This paper analyzes, together with the definition of crime, the complicated and sometimes intricate regime of entry into force and exercise of jurisdiction, which differs regarding whether the cases are referred by a Member State or proprio motu, or by the Security Council.Keywords: Crime of aggression, International Criminal Court, entry into force, jurisdiction, immunities.

Abstract This paper addresses scholarly and ideological interpretations of Crimean Goths from the late eighteenth century to the collapse of the Soviet Union. At the first stage, intellectual travellers and armchair researchers discovered the basic set of written sources, using archaeology often as illustrations and producing many long-living phantoms. From the mid-nineteenth century on, archaeological and historical researches made a big step towards understanding Crimean Gothic history. However, the Crimean War destroyed sites and museum collections, thus being a prologue to the terrible events of the Russian Civil War and the Second World War. The first Soviet decades were an ambivalent period: advancement of scientific research combined with ideological pressure. The shock of the Second World War put Crimean Goths into the focus of ideological struggle: the Nazis used them in substantiation of their rights to the Crimea as imagined “Land of the Goths” (Gotenland), while Soviet ideologists preferred to erase the Goths from Crimea’s history. However, continuing excavations collected abundant materials related to different periods and features of the Crimean Goths’ history.

The article addresses, from a sources of law perspective, the problem of legal qualification of Crimean reunification with Russia. Special attention is given to analyzing the International Court of Justice decision on the unilateral secession of Kosovo, including written statements by particular States during the ICJ hearings on this issue. The author argues why referring to the advisory opinion of the ICJ on Kosovo's declaration of independence is not appropriate in the Crimean case, and why the legitimacy of Crimea's reunification with Russia is much higher than the estimated, from the ICJ's point of view, legitimacy of Kosovo's secession.

The article analyzes the features of the objective features of crimes committed by officials who occupy a particularly responsibleposition. It has been established that the correct qualification of criminal offenses committed by officials who hold a particularly responsibleposition is a mandatory and important aspect in the formation of Ukraine as a democratic and legal state. Therefore, determiningthe characteristics of the objective features of these crimes, in the end, comes down to determining the characteristics of the object andthe objective side of each of these crimes. Thus, the objects of crimes under Part 4 of Article 368 and Part 4 of Article 369 of the Cri -minal Code of Ukraine are closely intertwined, because they are all united by a single generic object – social relations arising in the fieldof official activity and professional activities related to the provision of public services. In these corpus delicti, the direct object can beconsidered the actual social relations that arise when an official who holds a particularly responsible position commits or does not commita certain action using the power or official position granted to him. The third corpus delicti committed by an official who holds aparticularly responsible position is provided for in Part 3 of Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The generic object of this crimeis public relations in the field of justice, and direct – public relations arising from the need for mandatory execution of sentences, decisions,rulings, court decisions that have entered into force, an official who holds a particularly responsible position. It is also possible todivide into two groups the objective side of crimes committed by officials who hold a particularly responsible position. The first groupconsists of the objective aspects of crimes committed by officials who hold a particularly responsible position in the field of officialactivities and professional activities related to the provision of public services – these are all acts related to the acceptance of an offer,promise or receipt illicit gain, as well as illicit enrichment. The second group consists of alternative acts provided for in Article 382 ofthe Criminal Code of Ukraine, provided that they are committed by officials who hold a particularly responsible position.

The author of the article has analyzed the state of scientific development of criminalistics classification of crimes related to proxy battle in order to prove the need for further research taking into account amendments in the current legislation, as well as current conditions. Special attention has been paid to the fact that the current criminal law in Ukraine does not handle the categories of “raidership” or “crimes related to proxy battle”; besides, the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not contain the separate Section that would include the list of criminal offenses in in this area, and the norms that provide criminal liability for certain actions accompanied by proxy battle, are dispersed between different Sections of the Special Part of the Code. The legislator while constructing their corpus delicti (perhaps, with the exception of the disposition of the Art. 206² of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) did not use wording indicating the commission of proxy battle. This has resulted in the lack of the unity among scholars – national and international experts specialized in criminalistics, criminology, criminal and other branches of law within the stated issue, as well as among representatives of economic science, although they offered certain approaches to the classification of raidership manifestations. Taking into account the analyzed scientific points of view, the author has offered the classification of crimes related to proxy battle in accordance with criminal criteria, according to the purpose of committing the crime, as well as according to certain elements of criminalistics characteristic of the researched category of crimes, such as: crime’s modus operandi (the most important), situation, tools, means, crime scene, its consequences, direct object of criminal assault, conditions of its protection against assault, offender’s personality and the way of his life before and after the commission of the crime (including the presence or absence of criminal experience), the victim’s personality and characterizing him information, the ways of hiding the traces of the crime and the perpetrator. It has been concluded that suggested grounds for criminalistics classification of crimes related to proxy battle are not exhaustive, and this necessitates further research in this area in order of further improvement of investigation method of the specified category of crimes.

This article focuses on the debate over Crimea's accession. The content analysis relies on data collected during the first and most turbulent year of Crimea's incorporation, which started with the decision to conduct a referendum on the Crimean status and then to declare Crimea's independence in March 2014. The sample consists of 50 entries published on LiveJournal, both posts and commentaries. We have discovered and problematized severe disagreements in bloggers' worldview that give rise to the antinomies of bloggers' linguistic consciousness. By this, we mean the use of words with opposite connotations relating to the same event within the same blog and an inconsistency between bloggers' perception of the event and the affective meanings of lexical items attached to it. Our main point is that Crimea's accession prompts bloggers to reduce this dissonance by “rolling up the semantic rainbow,” that is, by destroying meanings with rigid binary semantic opposition, which thereby further exacerbates deep-rooted divisions within Russian society where patriots and liberals increasingly keep apart.

Abstract. The article examines the interplay between the Crimean occupation and UNCLOS compulsory dispute settlement procedures, exploring how the fact of Crimea’s occupation can be established and UNCLOS dispute settlement procedures applied. It also investigates the contradiction within the Annex VII Arbitral Tribunal’s award in the Coastal State Rights Dispute due to Crimea’s occupation. The study concludes that to address violations made by the Russian Federation under the provision of UNCLOS Crimea’s occupation, Ukraine can seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice. Strengthening Ukraine’s position requires a legally binding decision on Crimea’s occupied status and Ukraine’s coastal state status, possibly through an ad hoc tribunal with jurisdiction. Supporting evidence from other courts may be valuable, despite their lack of direct jurisdiction over the matter of occupation. The article also discusses the principle of nonrecognition and the tribunal’s neutral approach to accommodate both parties in its award in Coastal State Rights Dispute.

El tráfico de drogas en México ha sido la actividad más importante del crimen organizado, favorecida por las tendencias económica y sociocultural. Desde la década de 1980 hasta fechas recientes, esta actividad ha sufridomodificaciones tanto conceptuales como contextuales. En este trabajo se analiza desde una perspectiva histórica y sociocultural qué factores influyen en el aumento de los niveles de violencia de las organizaciones criminales,las cuales han desarrollado medios predadores para acrecentar su control territorial y económico, y doblegar al poder político y policiaco. A su vez, se busca dilucidar cómo el fenómeno criminal se ha transformado en el tiempoy el espacio, lo cual ha implicado el desarrollo de nuevas actividades delictivas desorganizadas

En el presente estudio se busca arrojar luz sobre el modo en que se desarrollaron las súplicas de indulto en el Chile decimonónico a partir de unaprimera aproximación al caso de los veteranos de la Guerra del Pacífico (1879-1884) y las peticiones que elevaron ante el Consejo de Estado porcausas civiles, militares y criminales entre 1882 y 1888. Metodológicamente se realiza una prosopografía del proceso suplicativo a través de la identificación de los documentos elaborados en el marco de la pro- pia solicitud, así como de sus trayectorias en el proceso, lo que revela la morfologíade una compleja red de agenciamiento social en la que las formas de reconocimiento social jugaron un papel fundamental.

Para lograr la construcción del Estado nacional mexicano el indulto se convirtió en un mecanismo para desac- tivar, a favor de determinada causapolítica, los efectos de las constantes sublevaciones, asonadas y pronunciamientos militares. El objetivo de este trabajo se enfoca en explorar la formaen la que se creó un andamiaje jurídico con el fin de regular ese recurso, cuya puesta en marcha no fue fácil en razón, de la exigencia que tuvo el poderejecutivo de negociar con diferentes actores.
