Item Characteristics of the Rights of Medical Practitioners in Treatment Process of Minor Patients(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Palkova, Karina ¹; Libanskiate, Evita ²; ¹ Rīga Stradiņš University, Latvia; ² Vilnius, LithuaniaNowadays the rights of medical practitioners are not so widely developed as the rights of minor patients. Protection of the rights of medical practitioners is directly subject to implementation of the rights of minor patients. Interaction or legal cooperation of medical practitioners and minor patients has been studied rather little from the scientific perspective. Despite several aspects – introduction of new Internet era in relations of doctors and patients, establishment of judicial practice in the sphere of protection of the rights of patients, the institute of the protection of the rights of medical practitioners in Latvia has not been sufficiently developed yet. Main conditions of interaction of medical practitioners and minor patients are defined both in the Medical Treatment Law and the Law on the Rights of Patients. However, the main feature of these relations is that within such framework, medical practitioners mostly have prohibitions and restrictions, whereas minor patients mostly have their rights stipulated. The aim of the article is to define the characteristics of the rights of medical practitioners in treatment process of minor patients. Descriptive, analytical, systematic and grammatical methods were used in compiling of the article.Item Historical Overview of Jus Cogens Norms, Their Applicability by International Courts and Necessity for Unification(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Ukaj-Elshani, Valeza; Prishtina, Republic of KosovaThe principal aim of this paper is the need for standardization of jus cogens norms, which besides their definition by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties have been further developed by international courts. The paper is divided in four parts that include the characterization of jus cogens norms, their development in the early history of international law, the development of these norms by international and regional courts and ends with the need of unification of jus cogens norms. A general conclusion thus can be drawn. The international courts, in order not to become inclined to use controversial terms of jus cogens norms, necessitate for a harmonized system and standardization of these norms in order to further develop jus cogens norms. Thus, the fulfillment of these norms through standardization allows us to think that one day all international wrongful acts will become at some point world-wide derogatory.Item Socrates. Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Juridiskās fakultātes elektroniskais juridisko zinātnisko rakstu žurnāls. 2019, 3 (15)(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte, Juridiskā fakultāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, Faculty of LawItem Use of Information from Electronic Media in Criminal Proceeding of Several European States: Comparative Legal Research(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Skrypnyk, Andrii ¹; Titko, Ivan ²; ¹ Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Ukraine, Kharkiv; ² Poltava Law Institute of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Ukraine, PoltavaInvestigation of criminal offenses is becoming increasingly associated with the use of information in electronic form. Electronic evidence becomes an integral part of the normative basis of criminal proceeding. The article is devoted to the comparative legal study of the use of information from electronic media in criminal proceeding of several European states. First, the experience of “classical” states of the continental legal system (France, Germany, and Italy) was highlighted. Further, the study of the Baltic region states experience was carried out in relation to each of the states not in isolation, but according to the most favorable structure for comparison. After that some general trends and the most striking problems with the subject were shown. General conclusions related both to signs of electronic evidence and to the most demanded procedural mechanisms for obtaining such data were made.Item Religious Extremism as Social Phenomenon(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Demolli, Haki; University of Prishtina, KosovoThere are numerous examples where political and religious contradictions have caused deep social crisis and disintegration of the state. It is true that the world is marked by new waves of violent extremism, radicalism and terrorism in the background of which are hidden religious, ethnic and ideological reasons. In reality, the reasons and activities of these groups are opposite to democratic and liberal values of tolerance and multiculturalism. Radicalisation leading to terrorism is a dynamic process in which a person is brought into a situation to accept terrorist violence as possible and justified actions of individuals and groups. The main goal of such violent actions is the achievement of political or religious objectives of such groups or individuals. The aim of this paper is to summarise the reasons that lead the individual to take the road of radicalisation, terrorism and extremism. Another aim of the paper is description and treatment of the ways of reacting of international community and individual states in prevention and fighting of extremism and terrorist activities.Item Strategy for Achieving Trade Balance(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Abuseridze, Giga; GeorgiaThis Paper deals with the issue of international trade strategy in achieving trade balance. The author claims that the efforts of policymakers and business leaders to find ways to achieve trade balance should imply greater coherency between trade and human rights objectives.Item Criminal Recidivism Prevention as One of the Determinative Directions of the Agenda of the United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders(Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Batyrgareieva, Vladislava S. ¹; Kaija, Sandra ²; ¹ Academician Stashis Scientific Research Institute for the Study of Crime Problems National Academy of Law Sciences of Ukraine; ² Rīga Stradiņš University, Riga, LatviaCrime structure of any country in the world always has recurrent crime, the scale of which is not amenable to reduction practically. This crime is the most dangerous manifestation of criminal behaviour of a person, because the return of a person to committing new crimes indicates that the measures which were taken to re-socialise them have proved ineffective. Therefore, the problem of criminal recidivism and combating with it occupies a prominent place among issues which are discussed at the level of UN Congresses on the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders. In the article the provisions of the materials of these Congresses on criminal recidivism and the practice of its prevention are analysed in detail. At the same time, approaches to the calculation of recurrent crimes on the example of separate countries (USA, UK and Ukraine) are clarified. It is concluded that the scale of recidivism because of different methods of counting recurrent crimes is very different in different countries. This leads to the inability to draw a single picture of the prevalence of criminal recidivism in different regions of the world. It is concluded that to achieve appreciable results in the combating recidivism first of all, some methodological issues need to be resolved. One of them should be an attempt at an international level to develop a more or less standardised method of accounting for recidivism in national practices, which would include: firstly, a clear understanding of which offenses should be considered as recurrent; and secondly, the definition of terms based on which quantitative indicators of recidivism are provided.
