Abstract

This article discusses the legal aspects of regional integration processes in Eurasia. It argues that these processes are driven by both political and economic factors, which in particular include the desire on the international stage of a number of post-Soviet nations for regional peace and security as well as to create a greater and more effective economic system. It is often claimed that in the sense of two different yet strongly linked international organizations - with the same similar composition - the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) and the EurAsEC, officially turning into the Eurasian Economic Union, unitedited Eurasia is hierarchical. The article then provides the history to CSTO and EurAsEC and discusses how they are to be combined. It also discusses the structural structure of these relationships and describes their goals, values, and main collaboration zones. Finally, the paper contains closing remarks aimed at highlighting problems and assessing opportunities for incorporation processes in Eurasia.

LAW

61-66 651
Abstract

The successful functioning of the EАEU is impossible without creating an array of legal documents that ensure its further integration development. The current state of Eurasian law leaves much to be desired. It develops chaotically, haphazardly and requires significant human and organizational costs. The article suggests using digital technologies in the legal sphere for the development of integration legislation of the EАEU. It is proposed to use graph theory for the selection and analysis of legal documents. The entire regulatory framework of the EАEU member States should be presented as big data. As a result, all the initial rough work will be done by machines, and the person will make the final conclusions. In the future, it is possible to create legislation of the EАEU on the branches of law.

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the «cultural genocide» concept as one of the forms of the genocide crime in order to establish the content of culture as the object of the genocide crime. For this, the historical legal method and the method of case study were used (in particular the practice of destroying the culture of the peoples of the Ottoman Empire. Sri Lanka and Tibet for comparison with the possibility of designating them as a crime of cultural genocide, acting as an element of the genocide crime, or as a separate crime with a meaning different from physical and biological genocide). It is concluded that cultural genocide is not a new component of the genocide crime, but an integral part of genocidal policy, and may constitute the phases of pregenocide or postgenocide or act as a separate crime requiring early warning and suppression.

Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic has generated a lot of talk about the post-coronavirus future of the world community and has drawn close attention to the globalization process. The article notes that something similar in the public consciousness took place after the publication of the first report to the Club of Rome, when the awareness of the danger posed by global problems had quickly come. Now, one of the global problems — the coronavirus pandemic — has changed the usual life rhythm of the entire world community in a matter of weeks. The relevance of the topic is so high that even those who, before that, not only professionally, but even seriously were not interested in either the problems of medicine or global problems, actively joined its discussion. As a result, on the pages of many print and electronic publications, along with serious and verified information, all sorts of guesses and speculations about the nature and correlation of coronavirus and globalization are multiplied. Only knowledge can be opposed to this, according to the authors.
