Social conditioning and grounds for criminalization of violations of the procedure for carrying out the international transfer of goods which are the subject to state export control

Abstract

The paper emphasizes that violation of the procedure for international transfers of goods subject to state export control directly threatens the national security of the state itself. The criteria that serve as a measure of the social conditioning of the criminalization of violation of the order of international transfers of goods subject to state export control have been determined. Groups of factors influencing criminalization are identified. A literature review of the grounds of the criminal law prohibition, which serve as objective prerequisites for its establishment, was carried out. The position regarding the impracticality of considering a criminal offense provided for by Art. 333 of the Criminal Code, as an international convention. It was determined that the social conditioning of the criminalization of violations of the order of international transfers of goods subject to state export control is based on society's assessment of the act as criminal, that is, one characterized by such a degree of social danger that only criminal liability is the appropriate legal consequence public danger of this act. The public danger of violating the order of international transfers of goods subject to state export control is not only in weakening the national security and defense capability of a certain state, but also has an international character. It cannot be claimed that the criminalization of the violation of the order of international transfers of goods subject to state export control is a consequence of Ukraine's obligations under the international treaties it has ratified, since this conclusion will be justified only in the case when we are talking about the Convention on the prohibition of development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and on their destruction, Art. VII of which clearly provides for the establishment of criminal liability for acts prohibited by this convention. Criminal violation provided for in Art. 333 of the Criminal Code, cannot be considered as an international convention, since the criminalization of violation of the order of international transfers of goods subject to state export control is not a consequence of Ukraine's obligations under international treaties ratified by it, with the exception of certain acts defined by the Convention on the Prohibition of Development, Production, accumulation and use of chemical weapons and their destruction.
