Determining the Legal Relations of Gemological Objects of Natural Origin

Abstract

Determining the essence, correlation and types of objects of law and objects of legal relations is considered one of the most debatable issues in the theory of law, having significant theoretical and practical significance. This article analyzes the constitutional, subsoil and gemological legislation regulating relations arising out from material gemological objects. The objective of this study is to understand intersectoral aspects of gemstones of natural origin, having been considered as an object of legal relations. The methodology comprised of dialectical, comparative legal, formal legal (dogmatic), formal logical, critical legal, systemic-structural and systemic-functional methods. This is the first time when geological-legal science has proposed the foundation of a dualistic theory addressing the multi-level structure of objects of gemological legal relations. It consists of the symbiosis of gemologically-significant actions and goods. The article also proposes general legal definition (an object of gemological law, an object of legal regulation of gemological law, an object of gemological legal relations), and special-legal definition (amber-bearing subsoil, natural gemstones) aimed at developing and improving the national gemological law.
