The strategy of integration development of Ukraine envisages, in particular, the implementation of international standards of justice in the legal system of Ukraine. The article explores the essence of such a legal category as ‘the standard of criminal procedural proof’. The rules of evidence in the Anglo-Saxon and continental legal systems in the context of this issue are analyzed, as well as domestic criminal procedural legislation on the peculiarities of assessment of evidence in various criminal proceedings and at various stages. Conclusions are made on the existence of objective evidence of standards in the Anglo-Saxon family of law (‘beyond reasonable doubt’ and ‘probability balance’) and the subjective standard of proof in the countries of the continental system of law (‘on the basis of internal conviction’). The opinion on the lawfulness and expediency of the allocation of certain objective standards of proof and in domestic criminal proceedings is expressed.
The publication is devoted to the question of the place of the state and citizen-user in cyberspace. Two opposite approaches are considered, each of which is based on the positions of the primacy of a state or a person in the issue of cybersecurity. The arguments of the supporters of both approaches are given and the conclusion is made about the effectiveness of their dialectical interaction in order to increase the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures.
Problem setting. Ukraine continues its integration processes with the international community, in particular, with the European Union and NATO. But comprehensive integration leads to the fact that Ukraine is forced to integrate into the negative processes from which the modern world suffers and with which it tries to fight. With the rapid development of the Internet, its use with criminal intent is probably developing at the same rate. Novelty, level of danger, volumes of received and future possible losses of this type of crime contributed to the formation of such a dangerous phenomenon as cyberterrorism. Accordingly, there is a new task for world scientists – to understand the essence of the concept of cyberterrorism most accurately and generally, to explore its deep aspects, to develop a single conceptual apparatus and to propose a system of preventive measures. Recent research and publications analysis. The topic of information terrorism within the Ukrainian cyberspace, as well as its inseparable interaction with the world wide web, theoretical aspects of this phenomenon, disclosure of concepts related to cybercrime are covered in the publications of such domestic researchers as S. Hnatyuk, О. Gerashchenko, V. Ostroukhov, M. Prysyazhnyuk, I. Diorditsa, O. Trofimenko, Yu. Prokop, I. Aristova, V. Tsymbalyuka, O. Zadereiko, O. Bogdanov, O. Drozhchan, M. Gutsalyuk and others. A number of well-known foreign scientists and philosophers have devoted their works to the study of the phenomenon of terrorism in the context of globalization and the rapid development of information and communication technologies, in particular E. Toffler, B. Hoffman, A. Schmid, D. Bell, J. Baudrillard, E. Giddens, F. Fukuyama and others. Paper objective. This article aims to formulate a generalized definition of "cyberterrorism", its key elements, sources, features of implementation, specificity and classification through the method of deduction (derivation of true knowledge from the general term "terrorism" to specific - "cyberterrorism"). Paper main body. The opinion of domestic and foreign scientists on the concept of cyberterrorism is analyzed. Based on the considered opinions, the authors try to show the peculiarities of cyberterrorism and reveal its danger to society as a whole and individuals. Finally, the authors turn to the analysis of Ukrainian legislation on cyberterrorism. Conclusions of the research. Taking into account all the mentioned above, the state should introduce appropriate training systems for integrated skills and abilities that are necessary to support the goals of cybersecurity in secondary and higher schools, conduct cybersecurity briefings, increase digital literacy and the culture of safe behavior in cyberspace, as well as timely report about new threats and ways to avoid them.
