It is noted that for the first time at the international level the norm of equality of all people was enshrined in Art. 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. An important step towards combating gender-based violence was the signing in 2011 of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. The Istanbul Convention visualizes the issue of gender-based violence. It has been determined that women and girls are increasingly exposed to severe forms of violence, such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, forced marriage, crimes committed in the name of so-called \"honor\", and genital mutilation, which constitutes a significant violation of human rights. for women and girls and is a major obstacle to achieving equality between women and men. \u0000The author singles out three conditional periods of formation of the modern paradigm of counteraction to gender - based violence in the activity of international organizations: 1) 1945 - 1974. The basic foundations of gender equality are laid at the level of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Combating gender-based violence was not considered through the prism of sex discrimination. The activities of the world community were aimed primarily at combating discrimination against women in the political, socio-economic and cultural spheres of society. 2) 1975-2010.During this period, all 4 World Conferences on the Status of Women were held. In 1979, the General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Articles 30 of the Convention clearly define discrimination against women and propose an agenda for action at the national level to end such discrimination. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the General Assembly in 1993, contains a definition of violence against women. 3) 2011 - to the present time. This period covers the process of realizing the scale of the spread of gender-based violence. A key event of this period was the adoption in 2011 of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. Activation of the world community to intensify the fight against gender-based violence. Adoption of sustainable development goals, in which gender equality is recognized as the general idea (Goal 5) and condition of sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"27 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116709412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The necessity to distinguish between the legislative virus, the negative consequences of which in the form of human rights violations are local in nature, and the system legislative virus, the negative consequences of which are large-scale, is substantiated. Legislative viruses that result in violation of the principle of proportionality between punishment and social characteristics of acts are analyzed. \u0000 Proposals for improving the system of the Criminal Code of Ukraine have been formulated. In particular, they concern the use of the category \"public danger\", which must perform a human rights function in the system of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is proposed to classify crimes using the social values they encroach on and the extent of the damage that has been or may be caused. Emphasis is placed on the need to allocate at the law enforcement level the severity (danger) of the crime: 1) with particularly mitigating circumstances, 2) with mitigating circumstances, 3) without mitigating and aggravating circumstances, 4) with aggravating circumstances and 6) with especially aggravating circumstances. The court must impose penalties based on these degrees and the legal restrictions associated with them. \u0000The necessity of providing legal certainty on the social basis of criminal liability and restriction of rights for committing a crime, as well as on the legislative assessment of cases of simultaneous commission of several crimes and the rules of their qualification is substantiated. \u0000It is proposed to supplement the Criminal Code of Ukraine with Article 2-1 \"Rule of Law\", which will ensure justice in cases of errors made by the legislator and in other cases where there is a discrepancy between formal legal requirements and social characteristics of the crime.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"54 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125740564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem of the correct qualification of a criminal offense depends on the correct establishment of all the features of the criminal offense, among which the greatest complexity are the features of the subjective side. To do this, it is necessary to disclose the content and characteristics of the subjective side, its mandatory features, and to determine the significance of the characteristics of the subjective side of the crime for the criminal assessment of the offense. The subjective side is a mandatory element of any criminal offense. Among its features are guilt, motive and purpose of the criminal offense. \u0000The analysis of judicial practice, scientific works gives the chance to develop scientific knowledge concerning the outlined question and to draw the following conclusions. The subjective side of concealment of a crime (Article 396 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) is characterized by guilt exclusively in the form of direct intent. \u0000The qualification of concealment of a crime can be significantly affected by a person's legal or factual error. Motive and purpose are optional features of the composition of concealment of the crime, they do not affect the qualification of the perpetrator, but must be considered by the court in sentencing. At the same time, the selfish motive of concealment of a crime has a great social danger, but fixing it in the tort under investigation is considered inexpedient, as it may complicate the distinction between concealment of a crime committed for selfish motives and acquisition, receipt, storage or sale of criminally obtained property. \u0000The significance of the subjective side and its features for qualification is determined.
