Адміністративно-правове забезпечення протидії біотероризму

Abstract

Дисертацію присвячено комплексному дослідженню проблем адміністративно-правового забезпечення протидії біотерористичним загрозам в Україні. Здійснено аналіз термінологічного апарату антитерористичного законодавства на предмет визначення суспільно-правової сутності біотероризму, а також подано систематизацію доктринальних положень. Особливу увагу приділено механізму практичної протидії можливим загрозам біотерористичної діяльності з боку вищих органів державної влади. Доведено, що факт існування біологічного тероризму як глобальної проблеми світової спільноти вимагає консолідації зусиль усіх держав, а участь України у цьому процесі здійснюється у відповідності до міжнародних договорів. Обгрунтовано висновки і пропозиції щодо ліквідації юридичних дефектів у законодавчих актах, які регулюють суспільні відносини в сфері боротьби з біотероризмом, й розроблення національних програм з біобезпеки та запобігання проявам біологічних загроз.

The thesis is devoted to the complex study of the problems of administrative and legal support for counteraction to bioterrorist threats in Ukraine. The terminological apparatus of anti-terrorist legislation has been analysed to determine the socio-legal nature of bioterrorism, as well as the systematization of doctrinal provisions declared by the representatives of legal and other social sciences. Biosafety, counteraction to bioterrorism has been found to be an integral part of national security, but any guidance on issues of threat of technogenic, including nuclear and biological, terrorism; the impact of harmful genetic effects in populations of living organisms, genetically modified organisms, biotechnologies, etc., unfortunately, are absent. Moreover, the current national legislation of Ukraine does not contain a clear and justified definition of the term "bioterrorism". In the aspect of consideration of the issue of regulatory acts of counteraction to bioterrorism, it is proposed to amend the Law of Ukraine "On Counteraction to Terrorism" in terms of consolidating the concept of "biological terrorism". The author substantiates the principle of legitimacy of administrative and legal support of counteraction to biological terrorism as a specific element of the complex social-negative category of "terrorism", which will make it possible to draw the attention of the legislator to the need for further detailing at the level of laws and regulations of the system of regulatory legal acts, aimed at preventing and counteraction to bioterrorism. The analysis of international legal acts on the issues of counteraction to bioterrorism is carried out. Indeed, in its complex interaction, the reproduction of norms of national law in the norms of international law, and vice versa, serves to achieve effective results in the field of counteraction to bioterrorism and overcoming its negative consequences. The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxic Weapons and on Their Destruction (CBTC), of which Ukraine is a fully legitimate party, has been determined to play a significant role. Special attention is paid to the mechanism of practical counteraction to the possible threats of bioterrorist activity by the higher bodies of state power. The main administrative and legal measures for countering bioterrorism are described, namely: measures of administrative prevention, measures of administrative termination, measures of administrative responsibility. The role of public in the prevention and counteraction of bioterrorism has been noted. The role of the main institutions in the administrative and legal support of counteraction to bioterrorism through the analysis of organizational and legal bases of their activity is clarified. The main institutions of administrative and legal support for counteraction to bioterrorism include: the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the State Emergency Antiepizootic Commission under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Energy and Environment Protection of Ukraine and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. These institutions at various levels carry out coordination, control and surveillance activities, law enforcement intelligence operations, covert investigative procedures, etc., in accordance with their competence, in order to counteract to the manifestation of bioterrorism. The role of introduction of administrative and legal regime of emergency ecological situation as an organizational and legal instrument of counteraction to bioterrorism is investigated. It is found that today there are a number of provisions in the current legislation of Ukraine concerning both general measures to counteraction to bioterrorist manifestations and introduction of administrative and legal regime of emergency environmental situation. It is established that in practice the introduction of administrative and legal regime of emergency environmental situation in Ukraine has been carried out in order to neutralize the consequences of catastrophes and accidents of anthropogenic nature. It is determined that the administrative regime of the environmental situation involves the introduction of a complex system of rules aimed at neutralizing the effects of environmental catastrophe, which is caused by both objective and subjective factors. The act of biological terrorism is a subjective factor, although the strains of viruses, used for illegal criminal purposes, occur naturally. It is concluded that the importance of administrative and legal regime in counteraction to biological terrorism is secondary, since its introduction is already a consequence of committing a bioterrorist act. The primary role in counteraction to the manifestation of biological terrorism is played by measures to prevent this phenomenon. It is proved that the existence of threats of biological terrorism as a global problem of the world community requires consolidation of efforts of all states, and Ukraine’s participation in this process is carried out in accordance with international treaties and effective cooperation both at universal and regional (with NATO, CIS, EU) and two-sided levels. There are substantiated conclusions and proposals for the development of national biosafety programs and the prevention of biological terrorism in Ukraine.
