    COVID-19 Pandemic and Changes to Finland’s Legislation in Line with the WHO Guidelines
    (Rīga Stradiņš University, 2022) Jilkine, Vladimir; Law center, Helsinki, Finland
    The article analyses new legislative amendments in Finland, including an interim amendment to the Infectious Diseases Act, which aims to protect the life and health of clients and patients using social and medical services. The rapid spread of the number of cases of coronavirus infection in Finland, including the new Omicron strain, required urgent measures and new amendments to the legislation. Therefore, in the context of the overall fight against the coronavirus pandemic in the world, these provisions of the Finnish Constitution are a transition from the absolute priority of universally recognised norms of international law to the priority of the Basic Law, subject to the condition of the inadmissibility of guaranteed restriction of human rights. Finland’s desire to comply with the global integration processes in the context of persisting risks of the spread of coronavirus infection has led to digital harmonisation of legislation and legal norms in accordance with the principles of international law. The amendments to Finnish legislation were based on the enshrined provisions of the Constitution and the existing international legal framework, considering possibilities for responding to pandemic and transboundary emergencies in accordance with WHO guidelines.

    Phenomenon of Corruption, Its Origin in the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Level in Modern Finland
    (Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Jilkine, Vladimir; Law center, Helsinki, Finland
    Power and corruption have been inseparable since ancient times. The phenomenon of corruption is of particular interest not only for scientists working in the field of social and humanitarian knowledge, but also for politicians, lawyers, philosophers and public figures. Almost all modern researchers consider corruption as a social phenomenon. The problems of corruption are reflected in the works of political scientists, economists, legal scholars, lawyers, philosophers, sociologists, offering a variety of approaches to the study of a multidimensional and debatable phenomenon. The UN views corruption as a complex social, cultural and economic phenomenon affecting all countries, but does not provide a more detailed explanation of the term. The concept of a “corruption offense” does not have a separate definition in Finnish legislation. Scientists and practitioners still have not come to a common opinion on the key issue: how to objectively determine the effective work of the anti-corruption institution and its impact on the corruption situation in the country. According to the author, studying the history, causes and extent of corruption in Finland will allow understanding of its evolution, causes and influence on the state to determine the regulatory framework in the field of anti-corruption legislation in Finland.
