The Main Directions of Integration of States' Activities to Ensure Economic Security
Methodological and legislative issues of ensuring economic security are investigated within the framework of the article. The novelty of the research topic is about the statement of the problem determined by the negative consequences of globalization of international relations, which led to an increase in the rates of transnational crime and has become a threat to international security.
The purpose of the study is to find out areas for optimizing international cooperation on counteraction to economic crimes, taking into account the specifics of the current stage of socio-economic integration. The research tasks included disclosure of the legal nature of corruption as a basic component of the shadow economy, essential properties and signs of corruption as a negative social phenomenon, determining the quality of implementation of international standards within the framework of legislation of national legal systems and establishing priority areas for cooperation between states to ensure economic security.
The methodology of the research is based on a set of general scientific, private, and special methods of scientific knowledge that allow the system to structure, subject to formal and legal means, a mechanism for counteracting economic crimes and conduct a comparative legal analysis, identifying general and specific trends in ensuring economic security in various legal systems.
As a result of the study, it was concluded that one of the problems of ensuring economic security at the international level is the absence in the international acts of a unified approach to the concept of corruption, which naturally caused in the foreign legislation legal pluralism in regulating the grounds for bringing to legal, including criminal liability. The problems of the definitive correlation of corruption inspire inadequate coherence of measures to counter international corruption in terms of identifying, disclosing, prophylactic and preventing corruption. The effectiveness of international legal cooperation presupposes the unification of approaches to the qualification of criminally punishable offenses of corruption orientation, proceeding from corrupt schemes of state, ecological, economic crime associated with illegal transfer of funds within the shadow turnover and legalization of incomes
Humanism in the punishment of Russian criminal law
The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of development and improvement of humanism in Russian criminal law. The principle of humanism is analyzed as a complex-systemic legal phenomenon with its own content and logic of development. Since punishment is a social phenomenon and functions in various areas of state and public life, its development is due to the implementation of a humanistic approach in law. The article examines the significance of humanism in criminal punishment and its historical nature; the essence of criminal punishment is defined in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as a list of types of punishments that are directly represented as a system and are applied to the guilty in the form of a measure of punishment, but humanism systematically limits the boundaries of criminal repression. Based on this analysis, the author makes judgments that at present humanism in the punishment of Russian law should be considered as a prerequisite for the formalization of punishment and other measures of a criminal law nature as independent and equal institutions of Russian criminal law. The consolidation of the constitutional prohibition on cruel or degrading punishment (part 2 of article 21 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation) necessitates a conceptual definition of these terms in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
