The paper deals with the analysis of the legal nature of international courts' decisions and their impact on the international financial legal order. The author claims that decisions of international courts, creating no new international legal financial norms, act as an additional source of international financial law, having no autonomy, and in combination with other sources of international law, performs the following functions: 1) regulatory-prescriptive (via opinio juris of existing traditions in interstate practice in the financial sphere transforming them into international customary law); 2) regulatory-affirming (confirming the legal nature of the international agreement between the subjects of international financial legal relations which caused a disputable situation). The judicial practice on financial issues and specificity of functioning of such judicial institutions as the Permanent Court of International Justice, the International Court of Justice, the CIS Economic Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Court of Justice of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, etc. are examined. The features of the provisions of international agreements on financial issues regarding the procedure for resolving disputes between the parties of the agreement about its implementation are analyzed. The paper explores particularities of the origin and development of the idea of the creation of an international financial court. Amid modern processes of the rapid growth of the amount of crossborder financial flows in the context of globalization, which is the consequence of the implementation of numerous international financial agreements, the idea of creation of an international financial court, which was first suggested in 1935, due to the complexity of legal nature of interstate financial disputes, is an objective necessity. The following features intrinsic to decisions of international courts (including decisions on financial issues) have been identified: 1) locality (binding only on the ...

The paper explores particularities of the origin and development of the idea of the creation of an international financial court. Amid modern processes of the rapid growth of the amount of cross-border financial flows in the context of globalization, which is the consequence of the implementation of numerous international financial agreements, the idea of creation of an international financial court, which was first suggested in 1935, due to the complexity of legal nature of interstate financial disputes, is an objective necessity. The following features intrinsic to decisions of international courts (including decisions on financial issues) have been identified: 1) locality (binding only on the parties involved in the case, and only in the current case); 2) situatedness and unprompted appearance; 3) impartiality (due to the judges' lack of political interest); 4) authority (international courts include generally recognized experts in international law). ; Анализируются правовая природа решений международных судов и их влияние на международный финансовый правопорядок. Отмечается, что решения международных судов, не создавая новых международно-правовых норм, выступают как дополнительный источник международного финансового права, который в сочетании с другими источниками международного права выполняет следующие функции: 1) нормативно-устанавливающую (путем opiniojuris существующих обычаев в межгосударственной практике в финансовой сфере трансформирует их в международно-правовые обычные нормы); 2) нормативно-подтверждающую (подтверждает правовую норму международного соглашения между субъектами международных финансовых отношений, по поводу которой возникла спорная ситуация). Рассмотрено практику международных судов в финансовой сфере. Определены следующие признаки, присущие решениям международных судов (включая решения по финансовым вопросах): 1) локальность (обязательность только для сторон, которые берут участие в конкретном судебном деле); 2) ситуативность и незапланированость появления; 3) беспристрастность (в силу отсутствия политического интереса у судей); 4) авторитетность (в состав международных судов входят признанные специалисты по международному праву). ; Проаналізовано правову природу рішень міжнародних судів та їх вплив на міжнародний фінансовий правопорядок. Рішення міжнародних судів, не створюючи нових міжнародно-правових фінансових норм, виступають як додаткове джерело міжнародного фінансового права, яке, не володіючи самостійністю, в поєднанні з іншими джерелами міжнародного права виконує нормативно-встановну (шляхом opiniojuris існуючих звичаїв у міждержавній практиці у фінансовій сфері трансформує їх у міжнародно-правові звичаєві норми) та нормативно-підтверджувальну функції (підтверджує правову норму міжнародної угоди між суб'єктами міжнародних фінансових правовідносин, з приводу якої виникла спірна ситуація). Розглянуто практику міжнародних судів у фінансовій сфері. Визначено такі ознаки, притаманні рішенням міжнародних судів (включаючи рішення з фінансових питань): 1) локальність (обов'язковість тільки для сторін, які беруть участь у конкретній справі); 2) ситуативність і незапланованість появи; 3) неупередженість (в силу відсутності політичного інтересу у суддів); 4) авторитетність (до складу міжнародних судів входять загальновизнані фахівці з міжнародного права).
An analysis of the international legal bases of implementation of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights to the national legislations of the member states of the Council of Europe is carried out. Such implementation takes various forms, and in general there is no single implementation mechanism. At the same time, the importance of implementing decisions of the European Court of Human Rights lies in the state's fulfillment of its obligations both to the world community of states and to its own citizens. Forms and methods that ensure the progressive development of national law, taking into account the practice of international courts, are considered. The synthetic research method determines the impact of ECtHR decisions on the structure of national law, which stimulates the transformation of its entire branches. It is demonstrated, how the ECtHR promotes the formation of progressive legal institutions in legal systems, exerting organizational and civilizational influence on the legal systems of states. It is emphasized, that the principle of legal certainty, by which the international court assesses vague and insufficiently clear provisions of national law, is fundamental for the implementation of the case law of the ECtHR into national laws. With this influence, the ECtHR determines the nature of lawmaking and law enforcement in a country. As a result, it is concluded, that the most effective mechanism for implementing the principle of legal certainty in a state is the adoption of general measures, contained in the pilot decisions of the ECtHR. The second important mechanism is the application of the rules of law by national courts, taking into account the case law of the ECtHR, which ensures the interpretation of human rights rules in a way that is most acceptable to the national legal system

It is reported that new mechanisms for the protection of children's rights are developing because ...
As you know, in public international law there is no hierarchy of sources of law. However, in practice, there are controversial situations when legal relations are subject to legal regulation of various sources of law. This is especially acute in the case of international custom and an international treaty.The purpose of the scientific article is to study the problems of the relationship and interaction of the international treaty and international custom in various aspects of their existence, namely: in aspects of their occurrence, observance and application.The article focuses on the legal analysis of the relationship between the international treaty and international custom in the judicial practice of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations. The analysis is subject, in particular, to the case of the continental shelf of the North Sea (1969), as well as the case of military and paramilitary activities in Nicaragua and against Nicaragua (1986).Based on the analyzed materials, the author of the article came to the conclusion that, firstly, an international treaty may contain customary norms, that have already existed and were in effect even before its conclusion. Secondly, the international treaty may be the last stage in the process of forming the customary norm. And thirdly, an international treaty may propose new legal norms that, due to further practice of subjects of international law, can be the basis for the creation of a new international custom.Moreover, it can be concluded that international customs and international treaties can exist and operate in parallel. However, even if the contractual and customary norm are identical in content, and the subjects of international law who are in disputed legal relations are connected, both by one and the second source of law, then from the point of view of applying these identical norms, they exist independently from each other. ; Як відомо, у міжнародному публічному праві відсутня ієрархія джерел права. Однак в практиці виникають спірні ...

The scientific article is devoted to the videoconferencing in court proceedings by international law and the law of some European Union countries. The videoconferencing definition, the right to justice protection on the main international legal sources about the trial regulation and human rights to justice protection bases are studied, the procedural stages of court hearings by videoconference are analyzed. Carrying out comparative legal research at our country present stage legal transformation and development, especially related to the emergence of new, modern legal relations, is primarily due to the need to receive international and foreign experience and, consequently, improve current national legislation. It has been established, that the latest technologies introduction in the judicial process at the national and international levels has both advantages and disadvantages and is closely related to the protection and implementation of the right to justice. Normative legal acts about the right to justice consolidation are primary regarding the right of participants in court proceedings to participate in it by videoconference.

Despite the general legal consolidation of the possibility of holding videoconferences in Ukraine and the EU, the procedural features of the rights and obligations of participants in such proceedings remain unclear, as well as unspecified issues regarding the application of different types of technical equipment depending on the conditions of video calls, the possibility of holding meetings outside the court in emergency conditions, etc.
The article considers and analyzes in detail the sources of the European Union aimed at ensuring equal and fair treatment of women and men. Such as Convention on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Right, Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, European Social Charter. The authors determined that currently in the European Union there is no single approach to the definition of "discrimination", due to the lack of a basic unified source of law, this issue is regulated by both the EU's own acts and well-known international acts. Also, due to the increasing popularity of feminist movements, men experience violations and restrictions in their social and economic rights. Therefore, a study of the decisions of the most influential judicial bodies of the European Union was conducted to establish a common understanding of the concept of "gender discrimination". Ukraine has ratified these international conventions on human rights protection and recognizes their decisions as part of the national legislation of Ukraine.Ukraine has ratified the Convention and its Protocols, as the first part of the Law of Ukraine "On Ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950, First Protocol and Protocols № 2, 4, 7 and 11 to the Convention" explicitly states that Ukraine fully recognizes "The effect in its territory of Article 46 of the Convention on the recognition and binding without special agreement of the jurisdiction of the Court of Human Rights in all matters concerning the interpretation and application of the Convention. "There is an obligation not only to enforce judgments of the European Court against the country, but also to apply the Convention and the case law of the European Court of Justice as a source of law. Therefore, the consideration of the cases mentioned in the article is important for the judiciary and the protection of human ...

Conventions, declarations, resolutions, protocols, statutes, charters, treaties and other acts can be found among these international legal documents from all continents all over the world. In the process of studying the international legal acts, there are analysed provisions stipulating the use of means and procedures for the peaceful settlement of international disputes. There are also described characteristic features of applying these tools and mechanisms. Besides, it is conducted an analysis of their peculiarities and perspectives for use in practice. Despite a wide range of instruments and mechanisms available for the peaceful settlement of disputes, number of conflicts all over the world is increasing. It may say about their ineffectiveness or about a necessity to develop new concepts, new ideas, new approaches to understanding of conflict and ways of its solution. All peaceful instruments include application of negotiations. Along with that, negotiations as a method to resolve a dispute are not fully discovered and updated. There are no strict and generally recognised rules of conducting negotiations, what participants of negotiations should comply with and what is allowed or not allowed to do while convincing.

The article deals with the correlation between the European Union law and international law. Constant participation of the European Union and its members in international organizations gave a rise to the need for establishment of interrelation between the sources of international law particularly international agreements and customs and sources of European Union law such as regulating agreements and acts of the EU institutions as well as necessity to identify which norms should be applied in a certain case and which hierarchical connections exist in these sources. This issue was research by numerous Ukrainian and foreign scholars such as T.V. Komarova, O.V. Plotnikov, K. Zigler, I.I. Maryniv, R. Jennigs, K. Tomushat and others. But unlike scientific research EU agreements do not have any provisions which would identify the type of relations between EU law and international law. It is also necessary to note that the only subject which position is important in this sphere is EU Court. In order to answer the mentioned questions decisions of the EU Court which had an impact on the formation of a new law and order on international level such as the one of the European Union (for example decision in case Van Gend en Loos) and decision of the Court which established fundamental positions regarding correlation of EU law and international law (for example in case Kadi v Council and Commission) were researched into. Provisions of EU regulating agreements related to international agreements and their place in the system of norms of the European Union were analyzed. To see the procedure of applying customary law in European law case law of the EU Court was researched. The article provides modern position of the EU Court regarding interaction between European and international law.
The article is devoted to the study of the types of international judicial institutions and their role in ensuring theright to judicial protection. It is noted that the Manila Declaration provides for a judicial settlement of disputes andarbitration. The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. The InternationalCriminal Court is the permanent body with jurisdiction over persons responsible for particularly serious crimes, inaddition to national criminal jurisdictions. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights is an independent, conven-tional body whose function is to protect human rights in the states of North and South America. The Arab Court ofHuman Rights has not yet begun its work, although the Court's mandate allows States parties to lodge complaints.The African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights is an independent body whose purpose is to protect human rightsin African countries. The jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights extends to all matters of interpretationand application of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and its protocols.The Court of Justice of the European Union interprets EU law and provides for the settlement of disputes by the EU'snational government-institutions. It is emphasized that regional judicial institutions are designed to protect the rightsand freedoms of man and citizen. They are part of a subsidiary human rights protection mechanism that can be applied once all national remedies have been exhausted. Recourse to the International Court of Justice or arbitration isnot an unfriendly act in relations between states, but on the contrary indicates the use of peaceful means of dispute settlement. Unlike other international courts, only international criminal tribunals can be joined in a single proceeding. ; Статтю присвячено дослідженню питання видів міжнародних судових установ та їх ролі в забезпеченні права на судовий захист.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the role and place of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in the administration of justice by Ukrainian courts. It is stated that the modern world cannot be imagined without the interaction of national legal systems with the system of international law. The socio-political and socio-economic conditions of the present day further emphasize the interconnection between these systems of law, which has long gone beyond purely theoretical reasoning and has become a practical application. The main manifestation of the influence of international law on domestic law is the harmonization of the content of national law with the provisions of international law. As a rule, such harmonization occurs by borrowing international legal norms into national law or by adopting national norms that are consistent with the principles and norms of international law. The judicial practice of the European Court of Human Rights is considered as a source of law, taking into account the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "About implementation ofdecisions and application of practice of the European courton human rights"t has been determined that despite the fact that the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the Enforcement of Decisions and Application of the Practice of the European Court of Human Rights" have been in force for more than 10 years, the application of the provisions of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the practice of the European Court of Human Rights by national courts case review and decision making is more of an exception than a rule. It is noted that references to acts of the European Court of Human Rights are still isolated cases and have an additional character, which gives reason to define the European Court of Human Rights own practice as a subsidiary source of law. Gaps and contradictions in current legislation, including the lack of a clear approach to the application of European Court decisions by Ukrainian courts, ...
Розглянуто не вивчену проблему дії міжнародного права в частині порушення суверенітету та територіальної цілісності України, через воєнну агресію Російської Федерації. Доведено, що такі протиправні дії необхідно розглядати в межах міжнародного воєнного (гуманітарного) права. Встановлено необхідність залучення міжнародних організацій для вирішення цього збройного конфлікту, за умови їх міжнародної правосуб'єктності. Визначено недосконалість правових механізмів, міжнародного впливу щодо покарання Російської Федерації за порушення основоположних норм, принципів міжнародного права, встановленого міжнародного правопорядку. ; Problem setting. The military aggression of the RF against Ukraine violates the norms and principles of international law. The General Assembly of the United Nations in the 1970 Declaration of Principles of International Law 2625 (XXV) points to the prohibition of violence, the peaceful settlement of disputes, the prohibition of intervention, and the obligation of states to comply with international legal obligations, in accordance with the UN Charter.Recent research and publications analysis. Armed attack, annexation and intervention of the Russian Federation against Ukraine were the subject of investigation of O. Zadorozhny in monographs: "Violation of the basic principles of international law by the aggressive war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine", "Crimean annexation as an international crime", and two Russian-language publications: "Russian doctrine of the international rights after the annexation of the Crimea", "Justify at all costs. The aggressive war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the transformation of Russia's vision of international law", which were published in the period from 2015 to 2016. Within the framework of legal qualifications, the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is investigated by M. Kononenko, an international lawyer in the article "Five years of occupation of the Crimea: in search of a policy of non-recognition".O. Tsebenko, in his statement, "The UN International Court: Ukraine's Action Against the Russian Federation", notes that one of the international mechanisms for ending the war is the appeal to the UN International Court of Justice.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The purpose of this article is the legal substantiation of recognition of the facts of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the disclosure of the mechanisms provided by international law for the termination of unlawful actions, military aggression, annexation, occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.Legal conflicts arise as to the feasibility of holding the Minsk meetings, as the negotiators, except the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, have no international commitments, bilateral agreements, as to preserving the territorial integrity of Ukraine.Of particular note is the non-fulfillment by the Russian Federation of the obligations of the international treaty "Budapest Memorandum on Security Guarantees in connection with the accession of Ukraine to the 1994 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons". Paper main body. The United Nations, (UN Charter, Art. 1, Art. 2) is the central institution that ordinates the United Nations in support of peace and international security under the UN Charter. In accordance with Article 1 of the UN Charter, this international organization aims to maintain world peace, international security, take effective collective measures to prevent the threat to peace, prevent aggression (acts of aggression) and settle international disputes on the basis of international law. Membership in the United Nations is stipulated in Article 3 and Article 4 of the UN Charter.Violations by the Russian Federation of the principles of territorial integrity and inviolability of the borders of Ukraine have been confirmed by the international community in the acts of the existing institutions, whose activity and competence is related to these issues.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Prolonged military actions on the territory of Ukraine, parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts require a consistent, legally executed internal and external security policy and decisive action to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine in accordance with international law. The legal qualification of an armed conflict in part of the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts should be established in accordance with the norms of international law. Accordingly, the Ukrainian side must prepare materials for consideration by the International Criminal Court.
