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.

This article is devoted to the study of the legal regulation of international adoption in Ukraine. This article analyzes the content of the main regulations governing the implementation of international adoption. The key differences between international adoption and adoption within the state are identified. This study focuses on international agreements in the field of international adoption, as they regulate this issue in the most detail and ensure well-established, effective cooperation between member states. The state of national legislation of Ukraine in the field of international adoption is analyzed, in particular in terms of bringing it in line with international agreements that establish the principles of adoption, as well as establish guarantees of children's rights in the adoption procedure. Given that Ukraine has identified a vector for ratification of the Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, the article examines its mechanisms and safeguards to avoid a number of negative phenomena that occur in the field of international adoption. The article presents statistics that indicate that the adoption of children from Ukraine is numerous among foreigners, which confirms the need to pay special attention to international adoption. The most acute problems in the field of international adoption and ways to solve them have been identified. Thus, it is established that currently the legislation of Ukraine does not provide effective mechanisms to prevent the abduction and sale of children under the guise of international adoption. To combat this problem, the Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption establishes a number of rules that must be followed in the implementation of international adoption, which confirms the importance of acceding to this agreement. There is also a lack of legal regulation, which is the lack of proper socio-psychological assessment of the child's readiness for adoption. Attention ...

The article analyses the development of the concept of international crime in the "Hague" period, which covers the last decades of the last century and is closely related to the establishment of ad hoc international tribunals in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The article reveals the legal grounds for the establishment of these tribunals, the features of their activities, jurisdiction and principles of responsibility of persons who committed crimes in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The establishment of international justice bodies by UN Security Council decisions has provoked a number of debates about their legitimacy, but it is undeniable that the activities of ad hoc international tribunals have contributed to the initiation of a new stage in the development of international criminal justice, further development of international criminal law, in particular in the development of the Rome Statute and the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International Criminal Court. All types of tribunal jurisdictions are disclosed, but special attention is paid to the substantive and personal jurisdictions of tribunals, which became the basis for the theoretical justification of the "Hague" modification of international crime, as well as the practical implementation of this concept in tribunal decisions. It is shown that the categories of international crimes that constitute the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (serious violations of the Geneva Conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide and crimes against humanity) and the categories of crimes defined in the Statute of the International Tribunal for Rwanda against humanity and violations of the Geneva Conventions) in the documents of the tribunals have been developed in comparison with the Nuremberg and post-Nuremberg periods. ~ 74 ~ ВІСНИК Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка ISSN 1728-3817 It is shown that the substantive jurisdiction of the ICTY and the ICC does not coincide with the provisions of the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals. The differences relate to the list of categories of crimes; parallel jurisdiction of international ad hoc tribunals and national courts; extending the competence of ad hoc tribunals to cases of crimes committed both during wars between states and during internal armed conflict, etc. The content of the categories of crimes, their composition, the subjects of responsibility have been clarified. In particular, the characteristic features of the crime of genocide and crimes against humanity are identified; the conditions, elements and subjects for the recognition of their qualifications are indicated. The author pays attention to the principles of personal jurisdiction, shows that in the decisions of international tribunals ad hoc has developed the principle of individual responsibility for international crimes that constitute substantive jurisdiction. The application of the principle of universal jurisdiction in the activity of tribunals is revealed. The author concludes that the establishment of ad hoc international criminal tribunals and their activities has contributed to the development of the concept of international crime and the separation of a special "Hague" modification.

Ріонідзе Х. Еволюція міжнародно-правового регулювання гендерної рівності. Наукова стаття присвячена формуванню розвитку та правового регулювання принципу гендерної рівності в міжнародному праві, який належить до цінностей Європейського Союзу (ЄС), а також відіграє важливу роль для України в умовах європейської інтеграції. Сьогодні ставлення до жінок у суспільстві істотно відрізняється від ставлення до чоловіків, і це стосується різних сфер життя: соціальної, політичної, правової. Таким чином, політичнагендерна нерівність включає меншу представленість жінок на виборних посадах та в політичнихколах. Гендерна рівність означає існування суспільства, в якому і жінки, і чоловіки мають рівніможливості, права та обов'язки у всіх сферах життя. Рівність між жінками та чоловіками – цеоднаковий доступ до освіти та охорони здоров'я, рівні можливості для фінансової незалежностіта реалізації їхніх особистих і професійних інтересів тощо. Однією з найбільш значних подій у міжнародному праві середини ХХ століття стало закріплення принципу недискримінації та подальший розвиток міжнародних та регіональних правових стандартів, спрямованих на покращення та захист правусіх жінок та дівчат. Водночас захист жінок та дівчат, а також чоловіків та хлопчиків – це перш за все відповідальність держави. Міжнародне право встановлює обов'язок держав захищати власних громадян, зокрема й від гендерної дискримінації. Натепер гендерна рівність набуває пріоритету в діяльності міжнародних організацій. На сучасному етапі розвитку суспільства питання гендерної рівності займають не останнє місце за актуальністю, аджерівності зараз стає центральним показником розвитку кожної країни нерівність за статевою ознакою вповільнює розвиток суспільства. Ось чому досягнення гендерної ; The article is devoted to the formation of development and legal regulation of the principle of genderequality in international law, which is referred to the level of values of the European Union (EU), and also plays an important role for Ukraine due to the context of European integration. Today, the attitude towards women in society is significantly different from the attitude towards men and this applies to different spheres of life: social political legal Thus, political gender inequality includes lessrepresentation of women in elected positions and lower representation in political and corporate circles. Gender equality means the existence of a society in which both women and men have equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities in all spheres of life. Equality between women and men is equal access to education and health care, governance and power for both sexes, their equal opportunities for financial independence, and the realization of their personal and professional needs and interests. One of the most significant developments in international law in the middle of the twentieth century was the consolidation of the principle of non-discrimination and the further development of international and regional legal standards aimed at improving and protecting the rights of all women and girls. At the same time, the protection of women and girls, as well as men and boys, is first and foremost the responsibility of the state. International law establishes the obligation of states to protect their own citizens, including against gender discrimination. Currently, gender equality is gaining priority in the activities of international organizations. At the present stage of development of society, the issues of gender equalities are not the last place in terms of relevance. Gender inequality slows down the development of society. That is why the achievement of gender equality is now becoming a central indicator of the development of each country

The activation of globalization and integration processes creates an objective need for regulation of banking activity at the international level. Uniform standards for regulating financial services sectors are developed by international organizations and continue to serve as the basis for the development of national regulatory standards, while the system for monitoring compliance with these standards operates in each separate country. The article states that banking supervision is implemented through regulatory and supervisory activities, outlining various organizational models of entities that oversee the activities of financial services sectors. In world practice there are various models of institutional building of the banking regulation and supervision systems, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. Each country chooses one of the models that will be effective, active and consistent with the architecture of the financial system and the peculiarities of the national banking system. The regulation of banking activities at the international level is not aimed at unification of organizational models of structures that in some countries supervise the activities of financial services sectors. Most importantly, regulatory and oversight bodies of different countries should be guided by the same principles and standards in their activities, as well as having all the necessary powers to effectively carry out their tasks. Mandatory condition is the consolidation of these powers at the legislative level.
