Answer: 186374.

How did the author assess the role of the state in ensuring human rights and freedoms? The author writes that legal procedures, within which human rights and freedoms are regulated and protected (guaranteed), as a rule, are contained in constitutions. Drawing on knowledge of the social science course, cite any two such constitutional guarantees in the Russian Federation that are not mentioned in the text.

(V.V. Lazarev)

Explanation.

1) the answer to the question, for example:

The state is, as it were, a resultant force that reconciles the selfish interests of individual members of society, the contradictions of the private, individual and general, while using legal means / it is not just important, but perhaps the most important and most significant force;

(The answer to the question can be presented both in the form of a full / incomplete quotation, and in the form of a concise statement of the main ideas of the corresponding fragment of the text.)

2) two procedures under the Constitution of the Russian Federation. for example:

The right to receive qualified legal assistance (in cases provided for by law, legal assistance is provided free of charge);

The right to appeal in court decisions and actions (or inaction) of public authorities, local governments, public associations and officials;

A person accused of committing a crime has the right to have his case considered by a jury in cases stipulated by federal law.

(Other procedures may be specified.)

The author mentioned the power structures specially created for the protection of human rights and freedoms. Using social science knowledge and facts of public life, indicate any three similar structures in the Russian Federation. Give one example each illustrating situations in which a citizen can apply to these structures for the protection of their rights. (Name the power structure first, then give an example.)

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Human rights should not be understood only as a means to achieve some good, they themselves materialize into a certain social value if provided with living conditions and guaranteed. In this case, the role of the state is not just important, but, perhaps, the most important and most significant ... it is, as it were, a resultant force that reconciles the selfish interests of individual members of society, the contradictions of the private, the individual and the general, using legal means. ..

Strictly speaking, the implementation and effectiveness of the norms on human rights and freedoms in any state, society, one way or another, depend on many factors. Without claiming to be exhaustive, as such, we can point to some of them: the degree of democracy of the government institutions of the state; political, cultural and legal traditions; the state of the economy; moral atmosphere and degree of consent in society; state of law and order, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure the translation of the possibilities contained in the current legislation into specific legal relations, it is necessary to create a reliable mechanism for the implementation and control over the observance of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, since a person is “included” in many social relations, performs many social roles, and the citizen participates only in those relations that are of a legal nature.

In a democratic and legal state, not only individuals are interested in this, but also power structures, which are primarily created specifically to protect human rights and freedoms. As an example, one can refer to Art. 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which states: "Recognition, observance and protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen is the duty of the state." It is symbolic that this article is located in the section "Fundamentals of the constitutional order", thereby confirming the protection of the rights, freedoms, interests of the individual as a principle of society and the state. Thus, the mechanism for ensuring human rights objectively takes the form of legal guarantees...

The legal procedures by which human rights and freedoms are regulated and protected are usually contained in constitutions. Looking away from individual characteristics of certain states, it can be said that the constitution determines: the procedure for a citizen to go to court in case of violation of his interests; order of consideration of cases; the right to apply to the bodies of international jurisdiction, if all domestic possibilities have been exhausted, etc.

(V.V. Lazarev)

Explanation.

In the correct answer, power structures should be named and appropriate examples should be given, for example:

1) the police (for example, citizen R., returning home from a business trip, found that the door of his apartment was opened and valuables were stolen, and turned to the police to protect his rights as an owner and other rights);

2) the court (for example, Inna Arkadyevna entered into an agreement with a company to build a house on a plot belonging to her, the company did not fulfill the terms of the agreement, Inna Arkadyevna applied to the court to protect her consumer rights);

3) the prosecutor's office (for example, the owner of a small store delays the payment of salaries to his employees, they turned to the prosecutor's office to protect their rights).

(Other authorities can be named and their activities illustrated, other examples given).

Human rights should not be understood only as a means of achieving some good, they themselves materialize into some kind of social value, if they are provided with living conditions and guaranteed. In this case, the role of the state is not just important, but, perhaps, the most important and most significant ... it is, as it were, a resultant force that reconciles the selfish interests of individual members of society, the contradictions of the private, the individual and the general, using legal means. ..

The legal procedures by which human rights and freedoms are regulated and protected are usually contained in constitutions. Distracting from the individual characteristics of certain states, we can say that the constitution determines: the procedure for a citizen to go to court in case of violation of his interests; order of consideration of cases; the right to apply to the bodies of international jurisdiction, if all domestic possibilities have been exhausted, etc.

Based on the text of the task, the correct answer is 465173

Answer: 465173

War crimes and crimes against humanity under international law

1) have a statute of limitations of 5 years

2) have a statute of limitations of 10 years

3) have a statute of limitations of 20 years

4) have no statute of limitations

Explanation.

The statute of limitations does not apply to persons who planned, prepared, unleashed and waged aggressive wars, used prohibited means and methods of warfare, committed an act of genocide or ecocide. The issue of the possibility of applying statute of limitations to especially grave crimes against the person and public safety, punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty, is decided by the court in each case individually.

Alexander Voitenko (Barnaul) 25.04.2013 17:50

I'm afraid to seem wrong, but international humanitarian law does not impose a ban on the use of anti-personnel mines and cumulative projectiles, or rather it imposes a ban on the use of frog mines, and not all in a row. The cumulative charges burn through the armor and are actively used by our army. How else would you order to hit armored targets?

Petr Dmitrievich Sadovsky

The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer (Ottawa Convention) was opened for signature in 1997 and entered into force in 1999. It prohibits the use of any mines, including anti-personnel mines. Some countries have not signed it, including the USA, Russia, China, etc.

National relations, i.e. relations of people in a community called a nation, or other ethno-national relations, do not exist separately from the state or in parallel with it. National and ethno-national relations are somehow mediated by the state and form a single political whole.

There are three main approaches to understanding the nation: political and legal, sociocultural and biological. In the political and legal approach, a nation is understood as fellow citizenship, i.e. community of citizens of a particular state. In international law, when one speaks of nations, one has in mind precisely political ones, nations that act as "national" states in the international arena.

In the sociocultural approach, the emphasis is on the commonality of language, culture, religion, traditions, and customs of a large group of people that form a nation. This allows us to consider the nation as a community of people who are characterized by a common spiritual culture, historical development, behavioral stereotypes, everyday lifestyle. It should be borne in mind that the nation is also a subjective phenomenon of consciousness and self-consciousness.

E. Gellner, a well-known researcher of the nation phenomenon, noted: “Two people belong to the same nation if and only if they recognize each other's belonging to this nation. In other words, nations are made by man; nations are the product of human beliefs, passions and inclinations.”

Most countries of the world base their understanding of the nation on the first two approaches. For all their differences, they have one thing in common - the denial of consanguinity as a defining nation-forming principle.

The third approach to understanding the nation, biological, is precisely based on the recognition of the blood community as the main dominant of the nation.

Answer: 26.

Answer: 26|62

What, from the point of view of the author, is the key factor in ensuring environmental safety? What are the three elements of the legal component of the environmental safety infrastructure mentioned in the text. What factor in the final formation of international environmental law as an independent branch of international law does the author name?

(according to V.P. Anisimov)

Explanation.

1. The answer to the first question, for example: environmental security cannot be fully ensured in one single country, an active International activity;

2. The answer to the second question, for example: the creation of a fairly complete system of special environmental legislation, the strengthening of the regulatory and technical base, the greening of legislative acts in other areas of activity;

(The answer to the second question is counted only if the three elements mentioned in the text are indicated.)

3. The answer to the third question, for example: for the final formation of international environmental law as an independent branch of international law, its codification is necessary.

Response elements can be presented both in the form of a quotation and in the form of a concise reproduction of the main ideas of the relevant text fragments.

The author writes that the norms of international environmental law are enshrined in numerous international acts. Based on the text and social science knowledge, name and briefly explain any three forms of interaction that can coordinate the joint efforts of countries and their governments aimed at solving the global problem. environmental problem.

Environmental security cannot be fully ensured in one single country; active international activity is required to achieve it. The developed countries have largely destroyed their natural environment and are now the main environmental pollutants. Large, densely populated developing countries have also almost completely destroyed their ecosystems, and the rest of the developing countries are rapidly moving along the same path, barbarously destroying nature in their territories and increasing the mass of emitted pollutants. It is necessary to develop an effective international mechanism for stopping the process of destruction of the natural environment, preserving what is left of it, and moving to the expansion of such territories.

Also an important element of the task of ensuring environmental safety is the further development of the legal component of the infrastructure. It is necessary to create a fairly complete system of special environmental legislation, strengthen the regulatory and technical base, as well as greening legislative acts in other areas of activity that are important for solving the main strategic tasks of environmental safety.

The cultural elements of the infrastructure for ensuring environmental safety are the system for collecting, accumulating, processing, issuing and analyzing information on the entire spectrum of environmental problems, the system of environmental education, training and education, research and development of human interaction with the biosphere.

The objects of international environmental law are natural objects, located under national jurisdiction or outside it (international international natural objects). The legal regime of the first objects is determined by internal law and partly by the norms of international law, that is, there is a correlation and interaction of internal and international law. Usually developed by world practice, universally recognized and enshrined in international legal acts, progressive principles are transformed into norms of domestic law. The legal regime of the second objects is determined by international law. The question of ownership of these objects did not arise at all for a long time. The tacit recognition of international international natural objects as nobody's thing and agreement with the right of any country to seize these objects prevailed. But in modern conditions, this situation has become less and less in line with the interests and needs of the peoples of the world. Some international legal principles began to be developed and gradually introduced into practice, limiting the possibility of arbitrary actions in relation to international international natural objects.

International environmental law has not yet been codified, its norms are enshrined in numerous international acts of a complex nature. For the final formation of international environmental law as an independent branch of international law, its codification is necessary. The solution of emerging problems of international environmental law and further improvement of the quality of life of mankind is possible within the framework of stable socio-economic development that does not destroy the natural biotic mechanism of self-regulation of nature.

(according to V.P. Anisimov)

Explanation.

The correct answer must contain the following elements:

1. Holding international conferences (for example, at international conferences, problems are discussed and decisions are made, on the basis of which states can amend laws, securing the right to an adequate environment and the obligations of the state to preserve this environment;

2. Creation international organizations(for example, international organizations can coordinate the actions of national governments, make recommendations, stimulate discussion of the most pressing problems);

3. Signing of international environmental documents (for example, the signing of such a document imposes an obligation on states to comply with the agreements reached).

Measures may be formulated differently, other correct explanations may be given.

Based on the knowledge of the social science course, explain the meaning of the concept of "global problems". What condition for solving the emerging problems of international environmental law does the author name? What two types of objects of international environmental law are named in the text?

Environmental security cannot be fully ensured in one single country; active international activity is required to achieve it. Developed countries have largely destroyed their natural environment and are now the main environmental polluters. Large, densely populated developing countries have also almost completely destroyed their ecosystems, and the rest of the developing countries are rapidly moving along the same path, barbarously destroying nature in their territories and increasing the mass of emitted pollutants. It is necessary to develop an effective international mechanism for stopping the process of destruction of the natural environment, preserving what is left of it, and moving to the expansion of such territories.

The objects of international environmental law are natural objects that are under national jurisdiction or outside it (international international natural objects). The legal regime of the first objects is determined by internal law and partly by the norms of international law, that is, there is a correlation and interaction of internal and international law.

(according to V.P. Anisimov)

Explanation.

The correct answer must contain the following elements:

1. Explanation, for example: a set of social and natural problems, on the solution of which the social progress of all mankind and the preservation of civilization depend;

(Another explanation may be given.)

2. Answer to the first question: stable socio-economic development that does not destroy the natural biotic mechanism of self-regulation of nature;

3. Answer to the second question: natural objects under national jurisdiction or outside it

(international international natural objects).

The answer to the second question is counted only if two types of objects mentioned in the text are indicated.

Answers to questions can be presented both in the form of a quotation, and in the form of a concise reproduction of the main ideas of the relevant fragments of the text.

The author lists the cultural elements of the infrastructure for ensuring environmental safety. Name any two of them indicated by the author. Give two examples illustrating the manifestation of each of them in the task of solving a global environmental problem. (Indicate the elements first, then give examples that illustrate it. Each example should be formulated in detail.)

(according to V.P. Anisimov)

Explanation.

The correct answer should name two elements and give examples illustrating the manifestation of each of them in the task of solving a global environmental problem:

1) a system of environmental education, for example:

In many general education schools, environmental circles are being created to expand students' knowledge about ecology;

Ecological education of children in preschool institutions includes the participation of children in activities that are feasible for them to care for plants and animals;

2) research and development of human interaction with the biosphere, for example:

Among the most sought-after research and development areas of Swedish scientists are biofuels, smart grids, and carbon capture and storage.

Only examples formulated in detail are counted (individual words and phrases are not counted as examples).

Judicial precedent, customary law, sources of law, legal act, international legal acts.

Explanation.

Sources (forms) of law - a certain way of external expression of a specific legal norm. There are several sources of law:

1) legal custom - long established and included in the rule public relations;

2) legal, judicial precedent - a court decision in a specific case, which has been given a normative character;

3) normative-legal act - an authoritative instruction of the state bodies, establishing, changing and repealing the norms of law;

4) international legal act.

Answer: sources of law.

Answer: sources

public law, financial right, administrative law, criminal law, constitutional law.

Explanation.

Public law is a set of branches of law that regulate relations that ensure a common, public interest. The branches of public law are: international public law, constitutional law, administrative law, financial law, criminal and criminal procedure law, etc.

Answer: public law.

Answer: public law

Subject area: Law. The system of Russian law, the legislative process

List and illustrate with examples three sources of law. First indicate the source, then an example illustrating it. (Each example must be expanded).

Explanation.

In the correct answer, the sources of law should be named and relevant examples given, for example:

1) legal custom (for example, the custom of business turnover used in the field of entrepreneurial activity);

2) a legal act (for example, the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", which regulates legal relations in the field of general education);

3) a normative agreement (for example, an international agreement on friendship and cooperation concluded between Armenia and the Russian Federation).

Other sources of law can be named, other examples given

What elements of the system of international law are named in the text (point out three elements)? What feature of the creation of international legal norms in comparison with domestic law did the authors note? Based on the knowledge of the social science course, explain the meaning of the concept of "objective law".

(Yu. Kolosov, V. Kuznetsov)

Explanation.

The correct answer must contain the following elements:

1) elements of the system of law:

Institutes;

Branches of law;

2) Feature:

The only way to create international legal norms is the agreement of the subjects of international law.

3) explanation of the meaning of the concept, for example:

Objective law is a set of generally binding norms that regulate legal relations in society and are protected by the power of state coercion.

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

A norm of international law is understood as a rule of conduct that is recognized by states and other subjects of international law as legally binding.

The norms of international law should be distinguished from the so-called customs, or norms of international courtesy, which the subjects of international law observe in mutual relations. However, if international legal norms are legally binding rules of conduct, then customs, or norms of international courtesy, lack the quality of legally binding ones. Violation of the norms of international law gives rise to international legal responsibility, and violation of custom does not entail such responsibility ...

A number of norms of international law are called principles. Although these are the same international legal norms, some of them have long been called principles, others have been called so because of their significance and role in international legal regulation. At the same time, there are certain principles that are of a general nature in comparison with other international legal norms and are of the utmost importance for the international community in maintaining the international legal order. Among the principles are the basic principles of international law, which form the foundation of the international legal order. A violation by a State of any basic principle may be seen by the international community as an attack on the entire international legal order. The main principles include the principles of sovereign equality, non-interference in internal affairs, prohibition of the use of force or threat of force, compliance with international obligations, peaceful resolution of international disputes, etc. Legal norms and institutions are united in the branches of international law. Some branches (for example, international maritime law and diplomatic law) have existed for a long time, others (for example, international nuclear law and international space law) have arisen relatively recently ...

The process, methods and forms of creating norms of international law differ from the creation of norms of domestic law. In international relations, there are no legislative bodies that could adopt legal norms without the participation of the subjects of the system of international law themselves. International legal norms are created by the subjects of international law themselves. The only way to create international legal norms is the agreement of the subjects of international law. Only the subjects of international law give certain rules of their conduct the quality of legal binding.

Since there are no supranational enforcement bodies in international relations, the observance and implementation of international legal norms is mainly carried out by the subjects of this system of law on a voluntary basis ...

In the process of participating in international communication, constantly entering into relations with each other, the subjects of international law not only act in accordance with the existing norms of international law, but also make the necessary clarifications, additions and changes to their content, as well as create new norms.

Thus, the creation of international legal norms is a continuous process.

(Yu. Kolosov, V. Kuznetsov)

Explanation.

The correct answer should reveal the principles and give appropriate explanations, for example:

1) the principle of sovereign equality implies that all states are legally equal among themselves as sovereign independent participants in international communication, generally enjoy the same rights and bear equal obligations, despite the difference in their economic, social and political systems (implementation of this principle excludes discrimination of states and related international conflicts);

2) the principle of non-intervention in internal affairs involves the prohibition of states and international organizations to interfere in the internal affairs of states and peoples in any form (the implementation of this principle prevents wars of conquest and national liberation, trade and other wars and conflicts);

3) the principle of compliance with international obligations presupposes the inadmissibility of arbitrary unilateral renunciation of undertaken obligations and legal liability for violation of international obligations (implementation of this principle prevents military and other hostile actions of states whose rights have been violated).

Other principles may be disclosed and explained.

Answer: None

A new stage in the development of international humanitarian law, which was based on the principles and norms of the human dimension, came after the adoption of the UN Charter, which outlawed war... The same period saw the intensive development of Geneva law, the birth of the regulatory framework of which is usually associated with the Geneva Convention of 22 August 1864 for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armies in the Field during a Land War. This document introduced a new and very important principle of the neutrality of medical personnel into the international law of that time, according to which medical care should be provided to all injured participants in hostilities, regardless of which side they fought on. The principle of maintaining a strict balance between the requirements of humanity and military necessity was established ...

AT modern form Geneva law, or proper humanitarian law ... is a system of principles and norms directly aimed at protecting the individual in armed conflicts of an international and internal nature. International humanitarian law provides protection to those who do not take part in hostilities, that is, the civilian population and medical personnel. Under his protection are also persons who have ceased to participate in hostilities, namely: the wounded, shipwrecked, sick and prisoners. Geneva law prohibits attacking persons under its protection, infringing on their physical integrity, subjecting them to insulting and degrading treatment. Norms have been developed to provide prisoners of war and those detained during the conflict with the necessary food, housing, and judicial guarantees.

With the development of international rule-making and the adoption of new instruments in the field of human rights, international humanitarian law is enriched with principles and norms that guarantee the individual the right to enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms during armed conflicts, minimizing the disasters caused by armed actions and protecting the person from arbitrariness and violence ...

For the protection of human rights, it is important to extend the scope of international humanitarian law to non-international armed conflicts that are limited to the territory of one state and take place between armed forces and anti-government armed groups ...

Medical assistance should be provided to all injured participants in hostilities, regardless of which side they fought on. For example, during one of the battles between the states of X. and Z., after the retreat of the enemy troops, wounded soldiers remained on the battlefield, medical personnel assisted them despite the fact that they fought against their state;

The prohibition to attack persons under the protection of international humanitarian law, to infringe on their physical integrity, to subject them to insulting and degrading treatment. For example, during the war, the X. state occupied part of the territory of another state, the soldiers of the X. state were given clear instructions on how to behave with the civilian population and that they would be held accountable for attempts at violence;

International humanitarian law consists of two sections, referred to as "the law of the Hague" and "the law of Geneva". Historically, the primary is the "law of the Hague", or "the law of war", which establishes the rights and obligations of the belligerents in the conduct of military operations and limits the methods and means of inflicting damage on the enemy in order to avoid excessive suffering, unnecessary, as well as unjustified by military necessity, human casualties and destruction. .

In its modern form, Geneva law, or humanitarian law proper ... is a system of principles and norms directly aimed at protecting the individual in the conditions of armed conflicts of an international and internal nature. International humanitarian law provides protection to those who do not take part in hostilities, that is, the civilian population and medical personnel.

d) the judgments and doctrines of the most qualified publicists of the various nations, as an aid to the determination of legal norms.

The correct answer is numbered: 1.

Answer: 1

Subject area: Law. International law

1 . International Human Rights Instruments .
1.1. What are human rights ?
The concept of human rights is one of the most controversial in legal science.
1) According to the natural law theory of human rights, these are rights inherent in the very nature of man, without which it cannot exist as a biosocio-spiritual being. Human rights belong to him from birth, by virtue of the laws of nature, do not depend on their recognition by the state. The state can only consolidate, guarantee or limit them.
2) Supporters of the positivist concept of human rights believe that rights and freedoms are established by the will of the state and are derived from it. It is the state that determines the list and content of the rights that it grants to its citizens.
Human rights- these are normatively formalized (i.e., presented in the form of clearly formalized norms) features of a person's being, which express her freedom and are a necessary condition for her life, her relationships with other people, with society, the state.
The theory of human rights is based on the unconditional recognition of his right to dignity and the right to freedom. However, a person cannot be absolutely free. You cannot live in a society and be absolutely free from it. The rights and freedoms of one end where the rights and freedoms of another begin.
1.2. Classification of human rights :
1) in the form of fastening : basic and other rights.MainThese are rights that are guaranteed by the constitutions of states and international legal documents.
2) content:
1) personal (civilian) : the right to life, liberty, personal integrity, protection of one's dignity, the right to privacy and home, freedom to choose nationality and language of communication, freedom of conscience (the right to profess any religion or not profess any), freedom of movement and choice of residence.
2) political: the right to association, the right to rallies and demonstrations, processions, the right to participate in the management of state affairs. Unlike personal rights, political rights are not aimed at ensuring the independence of a person, but at his manifestation as an active participant in the political process.
3) social: for recreation, for the protection of motherhood and childhood, for housing, for social security (social insurance, pensions, medical care).
4) economic: to work, to property, to entrepreneurship, the right to strike, to imprisonment collective agreements, to associate freely in national or international organizations.
5) cultural: for education: free pre-school, basic general and secondary professional education, for creativity, for the use of the results of scientific progress, for access to cultural values.
Human rights in the Constitution of the Russian Federation :
personal (civil) rights (Articles 19-29, 45-54);
political (articles 30-33);
economic (articles 34-37, parts 1,2,4);
social (articles 37, parts 3.5, 38-41);
cultural (Articles 43, 44).
3) by time of occurrence :
The first generation includes civil and political rights. The second generation includes social and economic rights, the consolidation of which in the constitutions and laws of the most developed countries dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. They are often called imaginary, because in their implementation it is necessary to infringe on the rights of the first generation (the right of citizens to rest limits the freedom of entrepreneurship). The third generation is called the rights of peoples (the right of the people to self-determination up to secession and education independent state, the right to a decent existence and the right to the development of the people). The idea of them is approved in legal science and international legal practice in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
4) according to the mode of existence and reflection :
natural rights that belong to a person from birth, and positive rights established by the state.
5) around the circle of subjects :
1) individual (rights belonging to individuals); 2) collective (rights owned and exercised by a group of persons existing as a community: individuals, consumers, minors, refugees).
1.3. International Documents .
The foundation of the existing system of human rights and freedoms is
International Bill of Human Rights (Charter of Human Rights) =
1) Universal Declaration of Human Rights (December 10, 1948) +
2) international pact on economic, social and cultural rights (1966) +
3) international pact on civil and political rights (1966) +
4) optional Protocol to the last pact (1966) +
5) second additionalProtocolaimed at abolishing the death penalty (1989).
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed that "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of liberty, justice and peace in the world."Article 1: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards each other in a spirit of brotherhood.” The Universal Declaration contains an enriched list of rights and freedoms, which includes not only civil and political, but also social, economic and cultural rights.
The Covenants, adopted in 1966, secured the most important rights and freedoms: the right to life, the right to personal integrity, the right to respect for private and family life, freedom of conscience, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, the right to freedom of opinion and expression, the right to education , the right to work.
Significance of the International Covenants of 1966 :
1) for the first time, states have assumed legal obligations to the international community to promote the rights of their citizens;
2) for the first time, states gave international bodies the right to control the fulfillment of their obligations;
3) for the first time, victims of human rights violations were given the opportunity to seek help from bodies that were not under the jurisdiction of the authorities that oppressed them.
2 . Protection of human rights .
Today in Europe there arethree systems of human rights protection :
14.2.1. UN systembased on the Charter of Human Rights and other UN documents.
In 1946, the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), which operates under the leadership of the General Assembly, established the UN Commission on Human Rights as a subsidiary body. Each year, the Commission's sessions bring together not only 53 member states, but also over 100 observer states. In 1976, the United Nations created a Human Rights Committee consisting of 18 experts.
2.2. System of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), the final act of which, signed in Helsinki (1975), contributed to the emergence of a public movement of human rights defenders => Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE);
2.3. Council of Europe system (CE), the leading document of which was the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950), as well as additional protocols to the Convention, which included the entire list of civil and political rights and some socio-economic rights. To control their implementation, special mechanisms have been created - European Commission and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Unlike the Council of Europe, the OSCE does not have a well-established mechanism for dealing with individual complaints.
3 . Criticism of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .
In recent decades, the idea of the inviolability of human rights as the highest value hasserious criticism :
1) the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Man have long been outdated, turned into a collection of banal dead truths. We need new living rights (such as the right not to starve to death, the right of the people to control nuclear stations and nuclear weapon, the right of collective control over such a powerful means of influencing public opinion like television, the right to fresh water–> Bolivia);
2) human rights, reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are absolutely minimal, they do not contribute to solving the complex problems of social life;
3) the ideology of human rights is used by Western countries to interfere in the internal affairs of other states;
4) the institution of human rights is called upon to perpetuate the existing political and economic system of modern capitalist society;
5) the ideology of human rights denies the right to rebel against unjust regimes;
6) the ideology of human rights in a number of cases comes into conflict with religious arguments: a person does not have the right to litigate for his rights before God, the political understanding of individual rights contradicts the understanding of freedom as responsibility before God.
7) during crises, the state interests of the authorities and society are higher than the immediate rights of an individual.
4 . International Crimes and Offenses .
4.1. Types of international crimes:
1) actions aimed at unleashing or waging an aggressive war;
2) war crimes (murder and torture of the civilian population of the occupied territories, hostages, prisoners of war, senseless destruction of settlements);
3) crimes against humanity.
4.2. International Criminal Tribunal (The Hague) was established in 1993 by a decision of the UN Security Council to prosecute those responsible for criminal human rights violations in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
5 . .
5.1. What is International Humanitarian Law ?
Founder of the science of international law HugoGrotiusin his book "On the Law of War" (1625), proceeded from the fact that every state has the right to wage wars, which he divided into just and unjust. He believed that in any war, violence should have its limits and be allowed only to achieve victory, while the life of the civilian population should be protected.!!! The Hague Conferences 1899, 1907
International humanitarian law - a set of norms, both treaty and customary, which are intended to address humanitarian problems that are a direct consequence of armed conflicts, whether international or internal, and limit, for humanitarian reasons, the right of the parties to the conflict to choose at their discretion the methods and means of warfare, as well as provide protection to persons and property that have been or may be affected by the conflict.
International humanitarian law is a branch of international law that operates in conditions of war.
!!! The norms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights may be limited in a state of emergency. The norms of humanitarian law are applied during periods of armed conflict, therefore, the norms of humanitarian law do not allow any deviations from their provisions under any circumstances.
5.2. Subjects of international humanitarian law : 1) states; 2) combatants; 3) persons under protection.
combatants(1977 - Additional Protocol I) - all organized armed forces, groups and units under the command of a person responsible for the conduct of their subordinates. Combatants are allowed to use force, take the enemy prisoner, kill an armed enemy.
Persons under protection - Wounded, sick, shipwrecked, both from the armed forces and civilians, prisoners of war, civilian internees, civilians in enemy territory, civilians in occupied territories.
5.3. Sources of international humanitarian law :
1) Geneva Conventions 1949:

“For the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armies in the Field” (Convention I);

“On the Improvement of the Condition of the Wounded, Sick, Shipwrecked Members of the Armed Forces at Sea” (Convention II);

“On the Treatment of Prisoners of War” (Convention III);

“On the protection of civilians” (Convention IV).
2) Geneva Conventions of 1948: 1) against the crimes of genocide; 2) Refugee Convention.
3) Additional Protocols 1977: Additional Protocol I (new rules governing international armed conflicts); Additional Protocol II (rules governing non-international armed conflicts).
4) The 1954 Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property.
NicholasRoerich(1874-1947). At the beginning of the First World War, Roerich turned to the Russian government and the governments of the warring countries with a proposal to conclude an agreement on the protection of cultural property. In 1929, Roerich came from India to America to legally formalize the Pact on the Protection of Cultural Monuments in the event of hostilities. In 1954, at the initiative of UNESCO, an international conference was convened in The Hague, at which representatives of 56 states signed a convention on the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict, based on the principles of Roerich.
5) The 1972 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological Weapons.
6) The 1976 Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Means of Influencing the Natural Environment.
7) The 1980 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects.
8) The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the most important provisions of which were developed in relation to wartime.
5.4. Emblem.
In 1864, paying tribute to Switzerland, in which the movement originated, it was decided to use the reverse position of the colors of the Swiss flag (a white cross on a red background) as a distinctive emblem of the protection of wounded soldiers. Turkey, and then part of the Muslim countries, began to use the sign of the Red Crescent as a symbol. The Geneva Convention of 1929 recognized it as the second official emblem International Committee Red Cross (1880). In 2005, at the next Geneva conference, a new emblem of international humanitarian organizations– Red Crystal (red square on a white background). This emblem has the same status as the previous ones.

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Structurally, legal consciousness consists of two elements: scientific legal consciousness (legal ideology) and ordinary legal consciousness (legal psychology).

1. Legal ideology is a system of views and ideas that, in a theoretical form, reflect the legal phenomena of public life. The theoretical reflection of legal ideas and views is contained in scientific research on issues of state and law, their essence and role in public life. Since they contain objective conclusions and generalizations, this allows the state and its bodies to effectively use them in law-making and law enforcement activities.

2. Legal psychology is a set of feelings, habits, moods, traditions, in which the attitude of various social groups, professional teams, individual individuals to law, legality, the system of legal institutions functioning in society. Legal psychology characterizes those experiences, feelings, thoughts of people that arise in connection with the publication of legal norms, the state of current legislation and the practical implementation of its requirements. Joy or sadness after the adoption of a new law, a sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the implementation of specific norms, intolerance or indifference to violations of legal regulations - all this belongs to the field of legal psychology.

Legal awareness plays an important role in the improvement and development of the legal life of society.

Firstly, legal awareness is a necessary factor in the creation of legal norms ... Secondly, legal awareness is an important and necessary condition for the accurate and complete implementation of legal norms ...

Legal consciousness is an important factor in the development of legislation, the stability of the rule of law, the reality of the rights and freedoms of citizens. A perfect sense of justice also testifies to the high general and legal culture of the individual, making him a full-fledged participant in various legal relations.

[There is the following understanding of the essence of law]: law is not laws adopted by democratically elected institutions and expressing the sovereign will of the people, but general (abstract) principles of humanism, morality, and justice. But such fuzzy, amorphous ideas about law move us away from the desired legal order and the tasks of strengthening it, because these principles, ideas (“unwritten law”), despite their undeniably high value, still cannot by themselves, without the necessary formalization , to serve as criteria of lawful and unlawful, lawful and unlawful, and, consequently, are not able to ensure stability and organization in society. The normative basis of law disappears, its regulatory role is undermined.

In this case, space opens up for ... arbitrariness, since freedom, democracy, morality are understood by various political subjects, including those in power, in different ways ... And why are laws (normal, humane, created in compliance with all generally accepted procedures) not can express the above ideals? There is also a difficult question about who and how should determine whether this or that law is “legal” or “non-legal”? Where are the criteria? Who are the judges?

Of course, the categories of law and law do not coincide. The law is one of the forms of expression of law ... their identification is unacceptable. But even an excessive opposition of these two concepts does not lead to the achievement of positive goals. This breeds legal nihilism...

1) law - these are laws adopted by democratically elected institutions and expressing the sovereign will of the people;

2) law is the general (abstract) principles of humanism, morality, justice.

Subject area: Law. Law in the system of social norms

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Legal culture is a specific social institution that performs the function of shaping people's political and legal consciousness, value-normative attitudes, and indirectly, legal behavior. The structure of legal culture includes the following elements: law as a system of norms expressing the will of the state elevated to law; legal relations as a system of social relations, the participants of which have mutual rights and obligations; legal consciousness as a system of spiritual reflection of the entire legal reality; legal institutions as a system of state bodies and public organizations that ensure legal control, the implementation of law; legal behavior<...>

Legal culture finds its practical embodiment both in legal consciousness and in the legal or illegal behavior of citizens or group public entities. Moreover, behavior that deviates from legal norms is not always the result of a conscious rebellion or innovation in relation to the rules accepted in society, but often becomes the result of poor legal awareness, social naivety and business incompetence.

In his legal behavior, an individual is usually guided by his own interests, orientations and attitudes. A different combination of needs, aspirations and interests underlies the motivation of legal behavior. Scientists distinguish a number of motives of legal behavior. This is an internal conviction in the correctness and fairness of the requirements of legal norms; the presence of an individual's own need to comply with laws; awareness of the social need to comply with laws; conscious obedience to the requirements of the law; awareness of one's own rights; conscious protection of group interests; fear of legal liability; following the tradition; desire for passive obedience to the state and its requirements. Deeds and actions performed with inner conviction in accordance with the norms of law can be considered the highest form of legal behavior.

The right to carry out entrepreneurial activity must be exercised within the boundaries outlined by regulatory legal acts containing both positive rules of conduct and prohibitions applied in this area. The set of rules, techniques and methods of state regulation of entrepreneurial activity forms the mode of its implementation. They talk about both a general legal regime that applies to all entities (for example, a registration regime), and a special regime, under which either a certain part of business law entities (for example, banks, exchanges), or entities engaged in a certain type of activity ( license mode).

The constitutional right to carry out entrepreneurial activity is secured by guarantees. Among the guarantees, first of all, it is necessary to name the possibility of judicial protection of rights in case of their violation, equal protection of all forms of ownership, the possibility of restricting rights only on the basis of federal law and only to the extent necessary to protect the foundations of the constitutional order, morality, health, rights and legitimate interests of other persons, ensuring the defense and security of the state.

The guarantees of the right to carry out entrepreneurial activity include the possibility of free choice: type, scope of activity; territories where activities are carried out; organizational and legal form of carrying out activities.

The organizational and legal form of entrepreneurial activity is understood as a set of property and organizational differences, ways of forming the property base, features of the interaction of owners, founders, participants, their responsibility to each other and counterparties.

The current legislation establishes the following organizational and legal forms of entrepreneurial activity: business partnerships (general and limited), business companies (with limited liability, with additional liability, joint-stock), production cooperatives, state and municipal unitary enterprises. The listed organizations under the legislation of the Russian Federation are commercial.

In addition to commercial organizations, the current legislation provides for the possibility of creating non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations can be created in the form of public and religious organizations (associations), non-profit partnerships, institutions, autonomous non-profit organizations, social charitable and other foundations, associations and unions, as well as in other forms provided for by federal laws. In the event that a non-profit organization is granted by law or charter the right to engage in entrepreneurial activities that correspond to the goals for which this organization was created, the profit from such activities is not distributed among its participants, but is directed to the achievement of charter goals.

State regulation of entrepreneurial activity can be direct (directive) and indirect (economic) ... In market conditions of management, priority is given to indirect methods of regulation using various economic levers and incentives.

What does the author indicate as the most important institution of civil law? What is the definition of property in the text? What does the right of ownership mean in an objective aspect?

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

The most important institution of civil law is the right to property. Ownership is both an economic and a legal concept. It can be defined as the relationship between people about the ownership of material goods.

The right of ownership is a set of legal norms that fix and regulate relations regarding the ownership of material goods (objective law). The right of ownership in the subjective sense means the ability of a particular subject to own, use and dispose of his property at his own discretion and in his own interests. The right to own means the opportunity, backed by the right, to have a thing in its economic dominance, the real belonging of a thing to its owner, owner. The right to use implies the ability to extract useful properties from a thing. The authority of the order provides for the ability to determine the "legal fate" of a thing - the right to sell, exchange, donate or lease. The authority to dispose belongs either to the owner himself or to the manager authorized by him.

The law distinguishes between private, state, municipal and other forms of ownership (Article 8 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation; Article 212 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). On the right of private ownership, property may belong to citizens or legal entities. Some types of property cannot be privately owned (for example, defense production facilities, state treasury, resources of the continental shelf). On the right of state ownership, property may belong either to the Russian Federation or to subjects of the Russian Federation; on the right of municipal ownership, property belongs to municipalities.

The variety of forms of ownership is not reflected in the content of the right of ownership. In other words, regardless of the form of ownership, the right of ownership always includes a triad of powers: possession, use and disposal of property, which the owner himself exercises at his own discretion or transfers to other persons.

Shared ownership - the ownership of several persons to the same property with the definition of their shares in the right to this property. The share can be expressed in property and value form. The law establishes a rule according to which, in the event of the occurrence of common property, it is usually assumed to be shared. If the property is indivisible, the share of the owner is expressed as a part of the total value.

Joint property - the property of several persons without determining their shares in the same thing. Relations of common joint ownership may take place only in cases provided for by law.

The share of a participant in common joint ownership is not predetermined, however, it can be established during the division of common property or separated from its share if the participant leaves the list of persons running a common household.

What constitutional right of citizens is referred to in the text? What condition of realization of this right does the author consider?

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

The main element of the constitutional right to judicial protection is the right of everyone to freely go to court and participate in the proceedings in person or through a representative.

The implementation of this right begins with ensuring the information accessibility of the court. Everyone should be able to find out how, where and on what issue to apply, where and when their case is being considered, etc. It seems to be something easier. However, the Commissioner for Human Rights continues to receive numerous complaints about the failure to comply with this elementary requirement of the law and common sense. The most serious consequences are the refusal to issue or send copies of court decisions by mail, which does not allow them to be challenged in higher courts ...

The procedure for filing claims and complaints is also burdened by a number of rules that objectively limit access to justice. So, in particular, claims and complaints are accepted only on arbitrarily established "reception days", or after a personal consultation with the judge, or upon presentation and verification of documents not provided for by law, including identity documents.

There is an opinion that by introducing strict and sometimes frankly excessive rules for accepting applications and complaints, the courts deliberately make their work easier. Another, directly opposite opinion is that any procedure is unthinkable without strict rules, and those who really need to file a complaint will follow these rules. For his part, the Ombudsman would like to remind you that restrictions of this kind are only possible in the form of federal laws, in this case the corresponding procedural codes.

An important guarantee of access to justice is the creation of conditions for unhindered visits to court buildings by persons with disabilities. Unfortunately, most state institutions do not have such conditions. And not always due to lack of funds - simply because no one thought about it.

A common way to restrict access to justice is the practice of unlawful refusals to initiate a criminal case.

There are still problems regarding ensuring the openness of court sessions. Particularly serious violations are associated with the announcement of the final court decisions behind closed doors.

(V. P. Lukin)

Explanation.

The correct answer must contain the following elements.

1. The constitutional right is indicated:

The right to judicial protection (the right of everyone to freely go to court and participate in the proceedings in person or through a representative).

2. The implementation condition considered by the author:

Ensuring information accessibility of the court.

Give any two examples of violation of the rights of tourists named by the author. How does he explain the difficulty of determining violations of the terms of the contract between a tourist and a tour operator?

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Violation by the tourist organization of the terms for the performance of services, improper meeting at the airport or train station (transfer), accommodation in hotel (hotel) rooms that do not comply with the contract (voucher) or the wrong level of the hotel itself, poor-quality food or service ... With this kind of violation of rights citizens encounter very often. However, due to the difficulty of claiming compensation from a travel company, as well as due to the difficulty of proving a violation of the terms of an agreement concluded with a tour operator, claims or at least claims against travel companies in such cases are minimal (with the exception of violations of the conditions of carriage, where the main and indisputable remedy the presence of a corresponding ticket).

Due to the fact that the criteria for the quality of tourism services in the legislation are not clearly fixed, in practice it is often difficult to determine where there is a violation of the quality of the service, and where - the provision of false information.

The need to create a simplified regime for the restoration of violated rights in this area is obvious. Any (“material-visual”) sources, such as, for example, photo and video filming, audio recording, referrals, written documents, etc., can serve as a means of proof. Also, the tourist must provide himself with legal remedies in terms of proving the actual losses incurred by him (expenses ). Such means include properly executed checks, receipts, tickets, bank statements, written contracts, etc. But apart from the instruments of proof themselves, a simpler procedure for considering such disputes is needed, since it is precisely because of the complexity, length and ambiguity of the process the majority of citizens prefer not to apply to the authorized bodies, both judicial and extrajudicial, for the restoration of their rights. And although certain steps are being taken in this direction by the state, they are clearly insufficient, and besides, they are ineffective in the part that was outlined above.

1) Violations of the rights of tourists:

Legal consciousness is the attitude of people to law ...

The key point of legal consciousness is people's awareness of the values of law and, at the same time, ideas about the current positive law, about how it corresponds to the requirements of reason and justice, legal values and ideals.

Legal consciousness differs scientific, professional, everyday, as well as mass, group, individual. These varieties of legal consciousness influence differently - but they all influence! - on the perfection of legislation, the efficiency of the work of the court, all law enforcement agencies, the extent to which the citizens of the country are law-abiding, voluntarily, strictly, accurately comply with the norms of positive law, which they put forward legal requirements.

Among the types and forms of legal consciousness, it is precisely the legal ideology that stands out - the active part of legal consciousness that directly affects legislation, legal practice and therefore is part of the national legal system of the country ...

In connection with legal consciousness and legal ideology - briefly about legal culture. Legal culture is the general state of "legal affairs" in society, i.e. the state of legislation, the position and work of the court, all law enforcement agencies, the legal consciousness of the entire population of the country, expressing the level of development of law and legal consciousness, their place in society, the assimilation of legal values, their implementation in practice, the implementation of the rule of law.

Legal culture is a broader and more capacious phenomenon than just an appropriate level of legal awareness; the main thing in legal culture is the high development of the entire legal system, the worthy place of law in the life of society, the exercise of its supremacy and the corresponding state of affairs in the entire “legal economy” of the country (training and status of legal personnel, the role of legal services in all departments of the state system, the situation advocacy, the development of scientific institutions on legal issues, the level of legal education, etc.).

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

The main legal purpose of the marriage contract is to determine the legal regime of the property of the spouses and their other property relationships for the future ...

The marriage contract must be concluded in writing and notarized. Failure to comply with the form required by law entails the invalidity of the marriage contract ...

The main element of the content of the marriage contract is the establishment of the legal regime of matrimonial property. Such a regime, determined by the marriage contract, is called the contractual regime of matrimonial property. When creating a contractual regime, spouses are given very broad rights. They have the right to change the regime of joint ownership established by law, to establish a regime of joint, shared or separate ownership of all the property of the spouses, of its separate types or of the property of each of the spouses. For example, the contract can provide that all transactions over a certain amount will be made by each of the spouses only with the written consent of the other. It is possible to exclude certain types of property from the community, for example, pensions or benefits, items professional activity, extra income, jewelry, items used for hobbies...

Separate mode in the general view provides that the property acquired during marriage by each of the spouses shall belong to that spouse.

Spouses have the right to determine in the marriage contract their rights and obligations for mutual maintenance, ways of participating in each other's income, the procedure for each of them to bear family expenses; determine the property that will be transferred to each of the spouses in the event of divorce, as well as include in the marriage contract any other provisions relating to the property relations of the spouses.

A marriage contract cannot restrict the legal capacity or legal capacity of the spouses, their right to apply to the court for the protection of their rights. A marriage contract cannot regulate the personal non-property relations of spouses; between spouses, the rights and obligations of spouses in relation to children. This is due to the fact that only those rights and obligations can be included in the marriage contract, which, in case of non-performance, can be enforced. Duties that are purely personal in nature cannot be enforced.

A marriage contract cannot also contain conditions aimed at restricting the right of a disabled needy spouse to receive alimony. With regard to the marriage contract, there is one more specific restriction: the marriage contract must not put one of the spouses in an extremely unfavorable position.

(according to M. V. Antokolskaya))

Explanation.

The correct answer must include the following items:

What role do law and morality play in the life of an individual? Using the content of the text, give three positions.

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Law and morality as social regulators invariably deal with the problems of the free will of the individual and his responsibility for his actions. Law and morality, as the most important elements of a person's value orientation, could neither arise nor exist if a person were not endowed with free will. They are addressed to the mind and will of a person, helping him to adapt to the complex and changing world of social relations.

Law and morality are always addressed to the free will of the individual. At the same time, they act as a "measure" of this freedom, defining the boundaries of the free behavior of the individual. But this community already contains properties that determine the specifics of law and morality. Law acts as a formal concrete historically conditioned measure of freedom.<...>

Law, by virtue of its nature, outlines the freedom of external actions of a person, remaining neutral in relation to the internal motives of his behavior. Another thing is morality, which not only defines the boundaries of external freedom, but also requires internal self-determination of the individual. In this sense, morality is an informal determinant of freedom.

The difference in the nature of freedom in the legal and moral spheres determines the differences in the nature of legal and moral responsibility. Differences in legal and moral responsibility lie in the nature of motivation; in the difference between legal and moral sanctions and evaluation categories underlying them; in the difference between the subjects applying these sanctions.<.. .="">

In making a distinction between legal and moral sanctions, one should take into account the specific historical conditions in which these social regulators operate. The greater rigidity of legal sanctions compared to moral ones is not a universal difference that has existed in all eras and in all societies. The degree of severity of moral sanctions, as well as legal ones, was different in different periods among different peoples; in addition, moral prohibitions often became legal, and legal - moral.

It is impossible to consider as an absolute and such a sign of the difference between legal sanctions from moral ones, as their formal certainty. Ethnographers' research shows that often moral prohibitions had a fixed scale of sanctions.

The specificity of legal sanctions lies not in their rigidity and formal certainty, but in the methods of ensuring that are inextricably linked with the state, which has a special set of tools and institutions capable of forcing compliance with legal norms.

(E. A. Lukasheva)

Explanation.

The correct answer may include the following items:

1) They are addressed to the mind and will of a person, helping him to adapt to the complex and changing world of social relations.

2) At the same time, they act as a "measure" of this freedom, defining the boundaries of the free behavior of the individual.

Indicate two elements of the analysis of legal culture that the author provides.

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Now the question of strengthening the high culture of every citizen is especially urgent. It is a high culture of actions and deeds, feelings and motives that should be the main result of the development of the personality of a citizen of our society.

A person with an insufficiently developed legal culture, as a rule, pays attention only to the most egregious cases of violation of the law, such as crimes, while other numerous cases of ignoring the law remain unnoticed by him. Legal consciousness gives an idea of the spiritual values of the individual and society from the subjective side. To understand the mechanism of legal influence on social relations, it is necessary to master such a category as legal culture. This category is used to characterize the legal system of a country. When analyzing the legal culture of a society, they study legal phenomena, describe and give explanations of values, ideals and achievements in the legal sphere, which reflect the scope of human rights and freedoms and the degree of its protection in a given society.

Legal culture is formed gradually. First, the foundation is laid. Under the influence environment ideas about simple but necessary rules of relationships between people appear. Along with this, the population acquires legal knowledge and skills - the basis of legal awareness. This includes specific legal norms (criminal, administrative, family, etc. law), the provisions of legal theory and the facts of the history of law. This level of development of legal consciousness determines how legally informed the population, its social, age, professional and other groups, how deeply they mastered such legal phenomena as the value of human rights and freedoms, the value of the legal procedure in resolving disputes, finding compromises, etc. But in order to form a legal culture, knowledge alone is not enough. Such an everyday level is limited by the everyday framework of people's lives when they come into contact with legal phenomena. It is impossible to think, relying only on knowledge and skills. Legal culture involves an assessment of all aspects of legal practice. Faced with the phenomena of the environment, a person must determine not only the moral, but also the legal content (in accordance with the law or illegally), be able to evaluate them with legal point vision.

Legal ideology, covered by the concept of "legal system", is an active part of legal consciousness. Legal consciousness is the attitude of people to law. Positive law as a criterion for the legitimacy of behavior always operates in a certain environment - economic, political, moral. The subjective-psychic environment, which expresses people's attitude to law (acting, supposed and desired), is of essential importance here. Such attitudes of people to law constitute legal consciousness.

Legal consciousness differs scientific, professional, everyday, as well as mass, group, individual. These varieties of legal consciousness influence in different ways - but they all influence! – on the perfection of legislation, the efficiency of the work of the court, all law enforcement, to the extent to which the citizens of the country are law-abiding, voluntarily, strictly, accurately comply with the norms of positive law, what legal requirements they put forward.

What are the three elements of regulation of social relations the author considers the basis of the rule of law? What, according to the author, does the content of the rule of law consist of?

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

The rule of law is a system of social relations, which is established as a result of the exact and complete implementation of the prescriptions of legal norms by all subjects of law. The rule of law is the real basis of the modern civilized life of society.

All elements of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations participate in the formation of the legal order. Their causal relationship is the basis of the legal life of society, which ultimately leads to the establishment of a legal order.

The rule of law is a normative prerequisite for the rule of law, the primary link in the mechanism of legal regulation, modeling the "ideal" law and order.

Legal relations are an element of the mechanism of legal regulation that ensures the transition from the ideal legal order envisaged by the legislator to the establishment of specific possible or proper behavior of participants in public relations provided for by legal norms. At this stage, legal regulation is connected to the mechanism of legal regulation, designed to guarantee the possible and proper behavior of the subjects of legal relations.

Acts of realization of legal rights and obligations are the final precondition of the rule of law. Under the conditions of the regime of legality, the rights and obligations of the participants in legal relations are actually embodied in their behavior, achieve their goal and, thus, pass into such a system of social relations, which forms the legal order.

The structure of the rule of law is the unity and simultaneous division of the system of social relations regulated by law in accordance with the peculiarities of their sectoral content.

The rule of law is a realized system of law. It includes constitutional, administrative, financial, land, family and other types of public relations regulated by the norms of the relevant branches of law. Structurally, the legal order reflects the implemented elements of the system of law. In this regard, in the structure of the rule of law, not only sectoral, but also more fractional groups of relations are distinguished, which are regulated by sub-sectors and institutions of law.

The peculiarity of the rule of law as a specific system of social relations is expressed in the fact that it is formed only on the basis of legal norms and, therefore, is protected by the state. Therefore, the rule of law does not cover all the relations that take place in society. A certain part of public life does not need legal regulation. It is within the scope of moral norms, norms of various public organizations and other non-legal normative regulators. In this sense, the rule of law is only an element of the general system of social relations that develops under the influence of normative regulation.

Explanation.

The correct answer must include the following items:

1) Three elements of regulation of public relations are named:

Rules of law;

legal relationship;

Acts of implementation of legal rights and obligations.

If law itself is a socio-regulatory system, then it regulates, first of all and mainly, human behavior, how he acts, how he should act. That is why the theory of law traditionally addresses, first of all, the characterization of behavior, developing criteria that would make it possible to evaluate specific behavior. After all, it is behavior that is the result, the result of the realization of the right, and only these assessments can answer the question - whether the behavior meets the legal requirements or, on the contrary, deviates from these requirements, whether it is lawful or illegal ... Thus, the legal interest in behavior is also one of the important directions in the knowledge of law as an integral social institution. At the same time, the theory of law singles out and formulates only that which organically connects behavior with legal influence, with the regulatory nature of law.

In this case, the problem of behavioral motives turns out to be in the first place: whether legal requirements are involved in the formation of these motives, or whether their nature knows other, perhaps deeper layers, reasons. Of course, this field of knowledge is not only the theory of law. Here it thoroughly intersects with other sciences, and above all with psychology. The theory of law in this area largely uses modern developments of psychology, especially social psychology.

The modern scientific level of knowledge consistently connects the motives of behavior with interests, defining the latter as objective or subjective needs of the life of subjects of law. There are personal, public, state, national and other interests.

For individuals, interest always forms certain personal attitudes, predispositions, clichés, value orientations, goals, ways to achieve them, and other conscious and emotional aspects of behavior that are especially important to know and take into account in law enforcement.

These attitudes can form various stereotypes of personality behavior. For example, pragmatic ones, when all the behavior of the subject of law is evaluated, “passed through” through the prism of profitability or harmfulness “for oneself”. One of the psychological forms of such behavior is egoism and its extreme manifestations in the form of egocentrism. At the same time, selfishness can form the motives of entrepreneurship, efficiency, careerism (and not only careerism), which in general does not deserve a negative assessment.

In turn, other attitudes can form motives that determine behavior that is useful for the “neighbor”, for society, the so-called altruistic motives. Altruism, like egoism, has different levels and forms of manifestation and is also ultimately determined by conscious or "feeling" interests. One of the ancient altruistic forms is the setting for self-sacrifice to help those who need it in the name of social ideals and goals.

On the one hand, the rule of law is a product of the subjective, conscious-volitional activity of law-making bodies. On the other hand, the rules of law become a natural element of the system of law only. In the case of an objective reflection of the needs of social life, determining the maximum measure of freedom and justice in social relations. Therefore, the norms of law objectively, regardless of the will of the law-making body, are combined into relatively independent groups of norms that regulate these relations. The law-making body cannot, at its own discretion, arbitrarily attribute the rule of law issued by it to one or another branch of law. If a norm is issued to regulate a certain type of social relations, then it is objectively included in the branch of law that regulates these relations.

The legal system is based on a different principle. In its formation, a significant place is occupied by the subjective factor, due to the need for legal practice, the need to take into account the changing forms of human communication...

The system of legislation is a set of sources of law, which are a form of expression of legal norms. Therefore, the law does not exist outside the law. They are related as form and content. It is in legislation (sources of law) that legal norms and their various structural formations receive their real expression, external manifestation. In this sense, the system of law and the system of legislation as a whole coincide.

However, they differ in structural elements and in their content. As noted above, the primary element of the system is the rule of law, which consists of a hypothesis, a disposition, and a sanction. The primary element of the system of legislation is an article of a normative legal act, which does not always contain all three structural elements of a legal norm ... Moreover, the same normative act may contain norms of various branches of law, which are provided with sanctions contained in other normative acts...

The diversity and interrelationship of social relations that arise in various spheres of public life, the need for their effective organization determine the creation in the system of legislation of such structural elements that do not coincide with the system of law. Therefore, branches of law do not always correspond to branches of legislation.

(V.N. Khropanyuk)

Explanation.

The correct answer may contain the following confirmations:

1) the system of law is formed on the basis of the general laws of public life / is not built on

arbitrary discretion of people, but on the basis of objective reality;

2) the rules of law become a natural element of the system of law only in the case of an objective reflection of the needs of public life;

3) the norms of law objectively, regardless of the will of the law-making body, are combined into relatively independent groups of norms.

Classification of legal facts is made on several grounds. Including the nature of the legal consequences, on the basis of will.

According to the nature of the consequences, legal facts are divided into law-forming; law-changing; terminating.

Here it must be borne in mind that the same fact (for example, the purchase and sale of a thing) at the same time in different legal relations can have different consequences. For the seller - the value of the right-terminating fact, for the buyer - the right-forming. Complicated, branched is the division of legal facts on the basis of will. Here, legal facts are primarily divided into events (the legal consequences generated by them do not depend on the will of people - - the birth of a person, a natural elemental phenomenon); actions (the legal consequences generated by them depend on the will of people - contracts, offenses, etc.).

Actions, in turn, are divided into legal and illegal. Moreover, both those and others have subsequent branches, varieties. It is important, for example, to see the features of such a variety of lawful actions as legal acts, i.e. lawful actions aimed at certain legal consequences, such as a contract.

When distinguishing between types of legal facts, the terms “misconduct” and “deeds” should not be confused. Misdemeanors are misconduct(offences), their most dangerous variety is crimes. Actions, on the contrary, are a variety of lawful actions, which, however, unlike legal acts, may not be directed to certain legal consequences, but they lead to such consequences directly by virtue of the rules of law. For example, the discovery of a treasure: whether or not the citizen who found the treasure wanted to receive a reward, the right to it arises directly by virtue of the law.

(S.S. Alekseev)

Explanation.

The correct answer must contain the following elements:

1) the answer to the first question:

A legal fact is a specific life circumstance with which the rule of law connects the emergence, change or termination of legal relations;

Moreover, only the totality of these elements allows us to speak about the presence or absence of a specific offense.

An offense is not so much a legal as a social phenomenon, since the common object of all offenses is social entities, primarily the rule of law. The rule of law as the most general object of an offense characterizes the legal state of social relations, represents the total result, the result of compliance, execution, use and application of legal norms in society. It is clear that any offense to one degree or another weakens the rule of law, knocks out one or another basis from under it, destroys one or another link.

Therefore, any offense causes damage, harms the sustainability, stability of society, personal and public interests, and ultimately the rule of law.

In addition to this general object of the offense, the theory of law singles out the specific object of each offense. It can be the rights and freedoms of a person, his life and health, property and security. These can be property and financial interests of a legal entity, environmental interests, it can also be the sphere of government - the foundations of the constitutional system, the form of government, the political regime, the military sphere, etc. It is important to emphasize that the object of the offense is always personal and public the good that is protected is secured by law. It is the formal moment - the illegality of this or that action (inaction) - that first of all characterizes the offense.

The behavior of the subject of law constitutes the objective side of the offense, that is, those external actions that can be observed, established, evaluated. This objective side, in turn, represents the unity of three elements: unlawful behavior, harm, and a causal relationship between action (inaction) and harm caused ...

The subject of the offense is a capable subject of law: a sane person who has reached a certain age, a citizen of the state or a foreigner who does not have diplomatic immunity or a stateless person.

Age matters. The subject of a crime can only be a person who has reached the age of 16, and for some crimes - 14 years...

Finally, the subjective side. It is characterized by guilt - the mental attitude of the subject to his action (inaction), to its results. Free will, which determines the subject's choice of certain options for behavior, is also manifested in the mental attitude of this subject to his behavior, its results.

The Constitution combined two basic priorities - the highest status of the rights and freedoms of citizens and a strong state - emphasizing their mutual obligation to respect and protect each other. I am convinced that the constitutional framework must be stable, and above all, this applies to the second chapter of the Constitution, which defines the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. These provisions of the Basic Law are inviolable.

At the same time, life does not stand still, and the constitutional process cannot be regarded as finally completed, dead. Point corrections of other chapters of the Basic Law, coming from law enforcement practice, from life itself, of course, are possible, and sometimes necessary. So, you know, it is proposed to amend the Constitution, on the basis of which the Supreme Court and the Supreme Arbitration Court are merged. Today, in the interpretation of many laws, these courts often diverge, sometimes quite significantly, make different decisions on similar cases, and even on the same ones. As a result, there is legal uncertainty, and sometimes injustice, which affects people. I believe that the unification of courts will direct judicial practice into a single channel, which means it will strengthen the guarantees for the implementation of the most important constitutional principle - the equality of all before the law.

We must support civic activity on the ground, in municipalities, so that people have real opportunity take part in the management of their village or city, in solving everyday issues that actually determine the quality of life. Today, the system of local self-government has accumulated a lot of problems. The scope of responsibility and resources of municipalities, unfortunately, as you well know, are not balanced. Hence, there is often a confusion with powers. They are not only blurred, but are constantly being thrown from one level of power to another: from district to region, from settlement to district and back...

I repeat, I consider the most important task... the development of a strong, independent, financially sound local government.

The classification of branches of Russian law is based on the subject and method of legal regulation.

Environmental law is an independent branch of law, which has its own subject and method.

The subject of environmental law is formed by a specific group of relations that develop in the process of interaction between society and nature (environmental relations). Since this interaction manifests itself in two main forms, we can say that the subject of environmental law is public relations regarding rational use natural resources and environmental protection.

The method of legal regulation is a set of methods and means of legal influence on social relations. As you know, legal regulation is carried out using two main methods - administrative-legal (mandatory), which involves relations of power and subordination between subjects, the establishment of mandatory prescriptions and prohibitions, as well as civil law (dispositive), based on the equality of participants in legal relations and freedom their will. Features of the method of the branch of law are due to the nature of regulated relations, the originality of its subject.

Environmental law combines both of these methods. Taking into account the importance of the environmental interests of society, on behalf of which the state acts, legal regulation environmental relations carried out mainly with the help of the administrative-legal method: the competent state bodies adopt regulations that provide for environmental rules that are mandatory for all participants in relations in the field of nature management and environmental protection.

Public law is such a legal sphere, which is based on state interests, "state affairs", i.e. the very structure and activities of the state as a public authority, regulation of the activities of the state apparatus, officials, public service, criminal prosecution of offenders, criminal and administrative liability, etc. - in a word, institutions built in a "vertical" plane, on the basis of power and subordination, on the principles of subordination, subordination. Accordingly, "public law" has one - and only one - national legal "center", is characterized by imperative prescriptions and prohibitions addressed to subordinates, subject persons; Permissions that are imperative in nature are the prerogative of the ruling subjects.

That is why public law is characterized by a specific legal order - generally speaking, the order of "power - subordination", according to which persons in power have the right to unilaterally and directly, in principle, without any additional decisions of other instances, determine the behavior of other persons ( subordinates, subjects), and, accordingly, the entire system of power-coercive institutions is obliged by force of coercion to ensure the full and precise implementation of orders and commands of power, and "all other" persons - to obey them unconditionally. All other principles of public law follow from this: the difference, the heterogeneity of the legal status of persons, the hierarchy of the position and the different scope of powers of the ruling persons, the presence of their own, “departmental” jurisdiction, the lack of orientation towards resolving contentious issues by an independent court. As democracy develops, these principles are enriched with institutions of a high democratic order (guarantees for citizens, democratic procedures, etc.), but this does not change the very essence, the very nature of public law principles.

Private law expresses the beginning of decentralization, the freedom of individual subjects. Here, the possibility of solving a particular life situation is not only pre-programmed in legal norms to some extent, but is also provided to the participants in the relationship themselves, who determine the solution of the situation themselves, autonomously, by their own will and in their own interests (mainly through contracts). I. Kant wrote that private law is such a right, according to which duty and coercion are based not directly on the law, but on justice and on the freedom of a person to be his own master.

Therefore, in private law, in contrast to public law, “horizontal” relations dominate, based on the legal equality of subjects, coordination of their will and interests. The predominant position in it is occupied by legal permissions. And legal norms in many cases are dispositive in nature, i.e. act on the principle “unless otherwise provided by the contract” - they act only when the parties have not agreed on this issue among themselves.

(S. S. Alekseev)

Explanation.

A correct answer must contain the following elements:

1) the answer to the first question, for example:

Private law, unlike public law, is dominated by "horizontal" relations based on the legal equality of subjects, coordination of their will and interests;

2) the answer to the second question, for example:

Public law is characterized by imperative prescriptions and prohibitions addressed to subordinate, subject persons; permissions that are imperative in nature are the prerogative of ruling subjects, and the legal norms of private law in many cases are of a dispositive nature. They act on the principle “unless otherwise provided by the agreement”, they act only when the parties have not agreed on this issue among themselves.

(An indication only of the peculiarity of the norms of public / private law, without indicating an explanation, does not count.)

Response elements can be presented both in the form of a quotation and in the form of a concise reproduction of the main ideas of the relevant text fragments.

International law- a system of norms and principles that regulate relations between states, international organizations and some other subjects of international law.

International law not part of any national system and does not include national law.

Beginning in 1920, a number of states proclaimed the priority of such norms over national legislation. So today in the Russian Federation.

Functions of international law - these are the main directions of its influence and society, its purpose

Two groups of functions

The first group - socio-political functions (strengthening the system of international relations):

maintaining stable order in international relations;
opposition the existence and emergence of new relations and institutions that contradict its goals and principles (prevention of conflicts, prohibition of the threat and use of force, etc.);
internationalization- expansion and deepening of relations between states;
information and educational function - transfer of the accumulated experience of the behavior of states, education in the spirit of respect for the law and for the interests and values \u200b\u200bprotected by it

by legal force

imperative e (do not allow deviations from universal norms even by agreement between states and do not recognize as valid customs and treaties that contradict them)
dispositive(allowing deviations from the norms by agreement in the relationship of the parties);

by functions in the system

material(containing specific rules for the mandatory behavior of subjects)

Branches of international law.

Branch of international law- a complex of homogeneous international relations:

international treaty- this is an agreement between two or more parties to international relations regarding mutual rights and obligations, based on voluntariness and sovereign equality.

international custom- this is such a rule of conduct, which, as a result of a long and universal application, is recognized by a participant in international communication as a legally binding norm. International custom is characterized by three elements:

duration of use
universal recognition
conviction of legal obligation.

Enforcement method:

enforcement of international legal norms is carried out by the subjects of international law themselves (individually or collectively), since there is no formation that stands above all subjects of international law, a “superstate”,
