Abstract
Currently, legislation is rapidly developing in many countries of the world. The governing bodies of interstate integration associations, such as the EU or the Eurasian Economic Union, are no less intensive in their normative activities. The high intensity of these processes is due to the scale of the challenges and threats faced by states and interstate integration associations. Unfortunately, poor implementation of laws remains a weak point. To assess the effectiveness of laws, states and interstate integration associations are developing new legal techniques. Legal monitoring is a cutting-edge legal technique that allows assessment of regulatory effectiveness. It is an integrated structural and analytical mechanism for analyzing and assessing a regulatory act across all stages of development and adoption. The paper discusses the problems related to implementing legal monitoring in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), a body that encompasses Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. The purposes of this paper are: (1) to study the theoretical, legal and organizational backgrounds of legal monitoring as a tool for improving legal effectiveness in the EEU and its member states at the supranational and national levels; and (2) the development of proposals for upgrading regulation of public relations emerging as a result of legal monitoring procedures carried out in the EEU. To fulfil these purposes, theoretical, methodological and legal frameworks of legal monitoring by governmental authorities in the EEU member states and by the Eurasian Economic Commission, the EEU’s permanent executive body, were studied. Special priority was accorded to the monitoring activities that the Commission carried out to identify the measures the EEU member states took to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Another significant line of research was identifying and studying organizational models that frame the monitoring of law-making in the EEU. The analysis allowed the author to prepare proposals to improve the legal framework of legal monitoring by the EEU’s permanent executive bodies and the integrated legal monitoring system in the Eurasian economic space.
Highlights
Development of international relations is characterized by a transition from the unipolar to the multipolar, demonstrating the accelerated transformation of political configurations that have formed on the global stage over recent years
The Regulation on the Eurasian Economic Commission, which is an integral part of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) Treaty, defines only the aspects to which structural subdivisions of the Commission are the entities of monitoring
It is reasonable that the Eurasian Economic Commission adopts: 1) A legally-binding act that will govern and stipulate how the EEC must carry out different kinds of legal monitoring studies prescribed by the EEU Treaty
Summary
Development of international relations is characterized by a transition from the unipolar to the multipolar, demonstrating the accelerated transformation of political configurations that have formed on the global stage over recent years. Two factors harm the performance of the processes: siloed changes to the member states’ national legislation; and the rapid increase of legal acts forming the EEU’s legal framework Those differences in national approaches will be explored in this paper [7]. The analysis shows the rapid growth of the number of international treaties concluded within the Union or to which the Union is a party and the number of legally binding acts adopted by the Union’s authorities (see Figure 1). This may involve inconsistency and gaps in the Union law, which will inevitably result in a lower effectiveness and efficiency thereof.
