Abstract:

Purpose. Defining legal means of protection of public relations in the field of amber mining in Ukraine, providing scientific and practical interpretation of protection legislation in this area and scientifically sound recommendations for its improvement.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is a system of general and special methods of cognition: the dialectical method was used to learn the essence of such a phenomenon as the protection of public relations in the field of amber mining in Ukraine; the system-structural method in the analysis of forms of socially dangerous acts of crimes under Art. Art. 240, 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; the logical-dogmatic method when interpreting certain terms used in the sciences of geology, administrative and criminal law, contained in the provisions of current legislation, as well as in formulating definitions of legal concepts and developing recommendations for improving legal norms; the comparative law method in the study on the ratio of socially dangerous acts under Art. Art. 201-1, 240, 240-1, 305 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; general methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, generalization) in the study on scientific and regulatory sources.

Findings. As a result of the study, the inconsistency of certain norms of criminal, administrative and customs legislation was established, which form the components of offenses in the field of illegal amber mining in Ukraine and establish the types and extent of responsibility for their commission, in particular: competition of certain norms, their inefficiency, disproportionate severity violation of the degree of their social danger. The scientific and practical interpretation is given of the forms of socially dangerous act provided by Art. 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a comparative analysis is conducted of criminal, administrative and customs offenses in this area and proposals are provided to improve criminal, administrative and customs legislation, the rules of which protect public relations in the field of amber mining in Ukraine.

Originality. It is proposed: 1) to supplement the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Art. 240-2, which provides for criminal liability for amber smuggling; 2) to supplement Chapter 68 of the Customs Code of Ukraine with Article 483-1, which provides for administrative liability for smuggling of amber in small amounts; 3) to supplement the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses with Article 58-2, which provides for administrative liability for illegal extraction of amber, its sale, purchase, storage, transfer, shipment, transportation, processing in small amounts.

Practical value. Proposals to improve the current criminal, administrative and customs legislation are aimed at improving the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies against illegal amber mining in Ukraine.
