Adoption of russian children by foreign citizens: some problems concerning the implementation of norms of international law

The issues of intercountry adoption are a matter of discussion for all world community in view of the fact that it is practically impossible to ensure proper regulation of all aspects of the adoption procedure and, moreover, it is possible to encounter various conflicting rules for the regulation of the adoption  procedure between the  State of child origin and the receiving State. The article outlines the prospects for ratifying the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in the Field of Intercountry Adoption of 29 May 1993 and the European Convention on the Adoption of Children (revised) of 27 November 2008. Adoption procedure should be in the best interest of the child in relation to his fundamental rights. The tension in the sphere of adoption of children left without parental care by US citizens is given proper consideration. Compliance with international norms and rules is reflected in the "Dima Yakovlev Law" which is difficult to recognize as effective in its capacity to ensure the rights and interests of children. It was revealed that the implementation of the above-mentioned international acts in the Russian legal space will bring positive results due to a significant simplification of the procedure for reviewing and resolving cases on the adoption establishment

Интернационализация отечественного права в контексте правовых позиций Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации и Верховного Суда Российской Федерации

The article is aimed at identifying legal positions on the relationship between international and domestic Russian law in the decisions of Russian Constitutional Court and Russian Supreme Court.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that the practice of Russian Constitutional Court and Russian Supreme Court significantly changed the content of norm of Russian Constitution that recognizes generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties as part of the Russian legal system.The methodological basis of the study was formed by both general scientific methods (dialectical, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and special methods (synergistic, systemic-structural and formal-legal).The main results, scope of application. The main body of the article covers three interrelated issues. Firstly, the problems of interpretation of Pt. 4 of Art. 15 of the Russian Constitution. These problems are summarized to the ratio of the categories “generally recognized principles of international law” and “generally recognized norms of international law”, to possible contradictions between the current international treaty with the participation of Russia and the provisions of the Russian Constitution as well as to exceptions from the priority of international treaties over the domestic law of Russia. Five such exceptions are highlighted: the unconditional primacy of the Russian Constitution; domination of an international treaty only in the event of a conflict of its norms with the internal law of Russia; the presence in an international treaty of dispositive norms that are inferior to domestic law; taking into account the level of legal force when determining the correlation of an international treaty with the sources of national Russian law; implementation of an international treaty as self-executing or non-self-executing, when the priority of the latter directly depends on the adoption of an appropriate normative act of domestic law. Secondly, the system of legal positions of the Russian Constitutional Court on the relationship between international and domestic law and their target mission is considered. The legal positions on the issue under study are divided into two groups - on the interaction of international treaties with the domestic law of Russia and on the assessment of the prospects for the incorporation of the legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights into Russian legal system and the limits of its jurisdiction. The consolidating basis of all judicial legal positions is the unconditional priority of the Russian Constitution, the need to differentiate the normative content of an international treaty with the participation of the Russian Federation and acts of official interpretation by the authorized body of its norms, as well as the desire to preserve the constitutional identity of Russia. Thirdly, the subject of reflection was the limits of the internationalization of domestic law.Conclusions. There is an obstacle to the further internationalization of domestic law. It is the presence of spheres of public and state life that cannot and should not be included in the subject of international legal regulation and are subject exclusively to domestic legal impact. In addition, the framework of internationalization is due to the conflict with the state sovereignty of Russia and the desire to ensure the inviolability of the foundations of the constitutional order and national interests, and to ensure the country's constitutional identity.Посредством анализа законодательства, а также правовых позиций Конституционного Суда РФ и Верховного Суда РФ выявлены проблемы толкования ч. 4 ст. 15 Конституции РФ. Судебные правовые позиции по вопросам соотношения международного и отечественного права разделены на две группы: о взаимодействии международных договоров с внутренним правом России и об оценке инкорпорации правовых позиций Европейского Суда по правам человека в правовую систему России. Сделан вывод, что консолидирующими идеями всех судебных правовых позиций являются безусловный приоритет Конституции РФ, необходимость разграничения нормативного содержания международного договора с участием Российской Федерации и актов официального толкования уполномоченным органом его норм, а также стремление к сохранению конституционной самобытности России

THE ORIBATID MITE FAMILIES NANHERMANNIIDAE AND LOHMANNIIDAE OF CAT TIEN NATIONAL PARK (VIETNAM)

In the oribatid mite fauna of Cat Tien National Park (southern Vietnam), we discovered four species, each representating a different genus of the family Nanhermanniidae, and eight species representing four genera of Lohmanniidae. Our records of Cosmohermannia robusta and Masthermannia mammillaris (Nanhermanniidae) are the first for the respective genera from Vietnam; the lohmanniids Meristacarus sundensis, Mixacarus exilis, Papillacarus ramosus and P. cornutus are also newly reported from this country. The morphology of juvenile instars of Cosmohermannia robusta is described and illustrated. The juve- nile instars of Cosmohermannia differs from those of Nanhermannia by the morphology of prodorsal and gastronotic setae, the presence two large latero-posterior body apophyses, the epimeral formulae, and the length of some epimeral setae. Diagnoses of juvenile instars of the family Nanhermanniidae and the genus Cosmohermannia are proposed. Papillacarus polygonatus sp. n. is described from dark loamy soil of a lagerstroemia forest; it differs from all other species of the genus by its larger body and three different forms of neotrichous setae

ORIBATID MITES OF DONG NAI BIOSPHERE RESERVE (= CAT TIEN NATIONAL PARK) OF SOUTHERN VIETNAM, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF PERGALUMNA (ACARI, ORIBATIDA, GALUMNIDAE)

An annotated checklist of oribatid mite taxa in Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve (= Cat Tien National Park) with distributions is provided. We have registered 121 species, 84 genera and 45 families, of which 40 species, 27 genera, 12 families were found for the first time in Vietnam, and of which 30 species and one genus were described as are new. A new species of the genus Pergalumna, Pergalumna paraelongata sp. n., is described

NEW ORIBATID MITES OF THE GENERA PERGALUMNA AND GALUMNELLA (ACARI, ORIBATIDA, GALUMNOIDEA) FROM VIETNAM

Three new species of oribatid mites of the superfamily Galumnoidea, Pergalumna cattienica sp. n., P. yurtaevi sp. n. and Galumnella microporosa sp. n., are described from Cat Tien National Park (southern Vietnam). Diagnostic keys to the Vietnamese species of Pergalumna and Asian of Galumnella are presented

A NEW SPECIES OF ORIBATID MITES OF THE GENUS MALACONOTHRUS (ACARI, ORIBATIDA, MALACONOTHRIDAE) FROM VIETNAM

A new species of oribatid mites of the genus Malaconothrus, M. adilatatus sp. n., is described from Vietnam. It differs from M. heterotrichus by the body size, morphology of interlamellar and exobothridial setae ex1 and some epimeral and leg setae. An identification key to species of the genus Malaconothrus known from Vietnam is given

THE ORIBATID MITE GENUS HAMMERELLA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SUBGENUS AND SPECIES FROM VIETNAM (ACARI: ORIBATIDA: GRANULOPPIIDAE)

The oribatid mite genus Hammerella Balogh, 1983 (Granuloppiidae) is discussed and a new generic diagnosis is presented. Hammerella (Parawoasella) bayartogtokhi, a new subgenus and species, is proposed, based on specimens from dark loamy soil and litter (under Dipterocarpus alatus) in Vietnam. Parawoasella subgen. n. is distinguishable from other subgenera of Hammerella by the presence of dorsocentral setae in the adult, resulting in 13 pairs of notogastral setae (versus 10 pairs). An identification key to subgenera and species of Hammerella is given
