The relevance of the research is due to the importance of the using by investigators special knowledge in the disclosure and investigation of crimes related to illicit drug turnover. The purpose is to consider the specifics of the appointment of forensic examinations in the investigation of these crimes. Realization of the set tasks is achieved by using the laws of dialectics, formal logic and the application of general and private scientific methods of research. We conclude that the peculiarity of the investigation of crimes related to the illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues is the crime subject establishment, that is, narcotic drugs. It is important to notice that subjects of the following crimes are only those narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances which are in the lists of specific regulatory act but not with specific chemical, pharmacological or medical characteristics. Currently experts know about 500 types of drugs. This fact leads to the fact that identifying the drug type and its characteristics without the participation of a specialist with relevant knowledge in this sphere is virtually impossible. The reliability of the expert's conclusions and the completeness of their research allow the investigation subject not only to correctly carry out the legal qualification of the investigation made at the first stage, but also to choose a strategy for further work in the criminal case.

The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

There is no doubt that digitalization processes make positive effects on the development of a company as emphasized and evidenced by many research papers and studies. However, there are a few empirical research studies on digitalization in the public sector, particularly in public administration institutions. Therefore, the present research aims to identify and compare the level of digitalization in four national public administration institutions: the State Revenue Service, the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs, the State Social Insurance Agency and the State Employment Agency. In Latvia, very good technical solutions and a broadband mobile Internet network are available, the number of Internet users increases all over the world every year, but are they widely used by public administration institutions to provide consumers with appropriate digital services? The State Revenue Service has reached the highest level of maturity in digitalization, and the institution has also allocated the most funds from its budget to information technologies and the maintenance of their systems. The level of digitalization is low in the State Employment Agency and the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs. The public requires public administration services to be available digitally on a 24-hour/7day basis.

Illicit Drug Trafficking

Recently the European Court of Human Rights has been challenged with questions concerning the scope of the State’s responsibility for violations of human rights that occurred on international waters. The complaints concern the international fight on illicit drug trafficking, piracy and illegal immigration. The analysed case law provides that occurrences on international waters constitute cases of extraterritorial jurisdiction and may engage responsibility of the State under the echr in the events that take place on board a vessel flying its flag (jurisdiction de iure) and in case of occurrences that happen on board foreign vessels, if the State exercises an effective control over a ship or its crew (jurisdiction de facto). Unfortunately, the Court’s findings prove difficult to follow in a few points as the judges applied the Strasboaurg standard too strictly, irrespective of the practical challenges of maritime law-enforcement operations and existing institutions of the law of the sea.

There are three stages: 1) pre-revolutionary; 2) soviet; 3) the times of independent Ukraine, which differed in approaches to administrative responsibility in this area.
