The term "globalization" appeared in the 1990s. The emergence of globalization was associated with the perception of the rules of a market economy by all states of the world, as well as the emergence of the Internet in 1991 as a public network.

At present, globalization is objective. Of greatest interest is the economic component of globalization.

More than 90 international treaties have been concluded, more than 750 decisions of the Eurasian Economic Commission have been adopted, there are numerous decisions of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union.

He noted that in the early stages of the development of international law, there were a small number of international treaties, and in this regard, the doctrine was one of the main sources of international law.

In the doctrine of international law at the present stage, many concepts are not used quite correctly. For example, the term "legality" refers to the internal law of States and therefore the concept of "international legality" is inappropriate in international law. The term "soft law", which refers to a set of resolutions of a recommendatory nature, should also not be used in international law.

Doctor of Law, Professor E. G. Lyakhov made a report "The subjects of ensuring the security of the world community." The speaker noted that at present the security threats to the world community are quite real.

Doctor of Law N. A. Shebanova made a presentation on the new topic "Judicial protection of intellectual property rights in the fashion industry."

At the beginning of her speech, the speaker drew attention to the fact that the legal support of the fashion industry is a new specialization of lawyers dealing with the protection of rights to objects of intellectual activity. Articles, comments, monographs on the protection of the rights of persons employed in the fashion industry that have appeared in the press indicate that a new direction, called "fashion law" - "fashion law", is being formed into an independent legal discipline, characterized by a comprehensive approach to considering legal support for the functioning of the fashion industry and ways to protect the rights of persons employed in this industry.

The main emphasis in the speech was made on the fact that the specificity of intellectual property objects in the fashion industry dictates the need to address different ways protection. The popularity of a peaceful way of resolving a dispute, and it is used quite often when “fashionable” conflicts arise, is largely due to the timing: the seasonal nature of fashion, its variability dictates the need to find a compromise as soon as possible, otherwise the copyright holder simply loses interest: the object of the dispute goes out of fashion and costs to protect it become economically unprofitable.

The report emphasized that the emerging jurisprudence on the protection of rights to fashion objects indicates certain difficulties in dealing with this category of disputes. This is due to the specifics of the formulation and description of intellectual property objects, the need to distinguish between the utilitarian and aesthetic components of the disputed object.

Russian jurisprudence has not gone unnoticed either. The report analyzes one of the interesting cases considered by the Intellectual Property Rights Court - a dispute between Rospatent and Lacoste on the registration of the designation "L.12.12" as a trademark.

Doctor of Law, Professor G. V. Petrova made a presentation on "International Private Law Regulation of Financial Markets".

However, Russian courts do not fully use the Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad.

Professor O. N. Zimenkova made a presentation “Conflict regulation of obligations arising from unfair competition and restriction of competition”.

She noted that by general rule obligations arising from unfair competition are reduced to minimizing damage to one or more competitors in the market.

Postgraduate student P. E. Ivlieva in her report “Rebuttable and Invalid Arbitration Awards: Peculiarities in Swedish Law” noted that at present international arbitration is a very popular way of resolving disputes.

As a rule, state courts limit themselves to considering only the procedural aspects of arbitration proceedings and verifying that the principles of fairness and legality are observed.

1. V. Guskov in his speech “Legal Mechanisms for Combating Abuse of Interstate Double Taxation Treaties” noted that double taxation treaties are largely outdated at present.

Post-graduate student S. V. Usoskin in his report “Peculiarities of international legal protection of cross-border investments and investments in derivatives” considered topical issues of investment arbitration.

In the past, cross-border investments were defined as property values ​​invested in the territories of foreign states.

1. A. Nikitina in her report "On some questions of inheritance in private international law" considered some aspects of inheritance relations in private international law.

She noted that at present in the system of law there are a number of independent systems of national law, international law, law European Union.

Doctor of Law, Professor L. I. Volova in her report “The Law of Regional Economic Integration” noted that international integration is of great value.

In connection with the signing of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, there is a need to develop the law of international economic integration as a sub-sector of international economic law.

Candidate of Legal Sciences, Associate Professor N. M. Sidorenko made a presentation “Goals and “acquis” of the European Union in the light of the Lisbon Treaty”.

The speaker noted that the term “acquis” can be defined as a complex, interdisciplinary concept of a universal nature, which is increasingly being used in sociological, historical, and cultural contexts.

There is now an extensive literature on various aspects of the uniform use of the basic acquis elements. However, the notion of a "basic acquis" remains debatable and requires further research.

Candidate of Law, Associate Professor D.S. Boklan in his report “Natural resources as an object of international environmental and international economic relations' drew attention to the fact that Natural resources can be included in the structure of the subject of both international economic law and international environmental law.

The speaker recalled that the application of the provisions of the World Trade Organization agreements by Russian courts is carried out in accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

However, the agreements of the World Trade Organization cannot be automatically integrated into the Russian legal system, since their application requires the improvement of national law.

This directly follows from paragraph 4 of Art. 16 of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization in 1994 2 , according to which member states are obliged to bring domestic legislation in line with their obligations arising from membership in the World Trade Organization.

Teacher E. A. Vladimirova made a presentation “Possibilities of using the experience of European integration in building the customs union of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus”.

Candidate of Law G. A. Korolev in his report “The Role of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Formation of the Global Financial Architecture and Development of the Financial Markets of States” drew attention to the fact that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development was established in 1961.

Associate Professor E. I. Maksimenko in the report “Interests of the state and international community and their relationship in the international legal system” noted that modern international law is a model of a normal human community.

The interests of the international community are as follows: peace, security, general and complete disarmament, preservation of resources for future generations. At the same time, the interests of states are not fully reflected in the norms of international law.

In this regard, there are contradictions between the interests of states and the international community. If these contradictions are not eliminated, then conflicts of various levels may arise. Compliance with the principles and norms of international law will allow solving many global problems of our time.

Candidate of Law Sciences A. V. Iglin in his report “The Role of Globalization in the Development of International and European Sports Law” drew attention to the fact that in the modern world sports legal relations are becoming global.

Candidate of Legal Sciences S. A. Knyazkin made a presentation “Problems of unification of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in criminal and civil proceedings”.

He noted that the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights are applied in the Russian judicial system. Thus, in the Decree of June 27, 2013 No. 21 “On the application by courts of general jurisdiction of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of November 4, 1950 and its Protocols” 3, the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation indicated that the legal positions of the European Court on human rights, which are contained in the final judgments adopted in relation to the Russian Federation, are binding on the courts.

international legal law association

International law is a system of legal principles and norms that regulate relations between peoples and states and determine their mutual rights and obligations. International law has formed regardless of desire specific person or a separate social group or stratum, but due to objective public processes caused by the need to establish international communication. Even at the earliest stages of human development, primitive tribes maintained intertribal relations among themselves, which were regulated by customs and traditions. They became the prototype of international legal norms that appeared with the emergence of statehood among the peoples of the world.

The peculiarity of international law is that its norms are created as a result of an agreement between independent and equal subjects of international law - sovereign states. The norms of international law are contained in bilateral and multilateral interstate treaties, and are also formed in the form of international customs. International treaty and international custom are the main sources of international law.

International law arose even before the emergence of the state, since even at the communal level, people from different tribes had to cooperate with each other. In 1286 BC Between Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Hittite king, the first written peace treaty was concluded, carved on stone. This treaty formulated a provision that ensured its strict observance.

Thus, international law is a product of interaction in the process of cooperation and struggle of various states. International law is a special legal system. She is different from national systems, since in international relations there is no body that would force compliance with obligations. Everything is based on voluntariness. Pacta sunt servanda - contracts must be respected (still from Roman law).

A feature of international law is its conciliatory nature: international law is coordinating in nature, and national law is subordinate. Characters in the international arena, they themselves agree on the rules of their conduct. Another feature is the intergovernmental nature of relations regulated by international law, i.e. States and intergovernmental organizations are its subjects, actors.

The International Law Association has consultative status with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and a number of other organizations.

Organized in Brussels in 1873. It was originally called the Association for the Reform and Codification of the Law of Nations. Since 1895 it has been renamed the International Law Association.

There is also the Russian Association of International Law in Russia, it is the legal successor and successor of the Soviet Association of International Law (SAMP), established in 1957 on the initiative of leading Russian international lawyers. The main goals of the Association were to promote the unification of the scientific and intellectual potential of science and practice, the exchange of experience for the purpose of progressive development, updating and effective application of international public and private law.
