Abstract:
The issue of responsibility in modern international law, which is the key point of this article, is directly related to the functioning of the international law as such. If no international responsibility for the actions of the state were recognized in the international law, the very international law would cease to exist since the goals of international law, such as liquidation of local wars, protection of peace and international security, fighting terrorism, would become unattainable.

Therapeutic jurisprudence: the American pattern.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to the issue of criminal insanity and "therapeutic jurisprudence" in the American practice. As the author notes, provisions of the modern American legislation on criminal insanity vary from the too determined ones to the absurdly broad ones, and the criminal insanity as a criminal legal category is quite a problem, since its definition is concentrated on the causes of criminal behavior. As a result of all of this, the American legislation on mental health becomes less and less effective. Is "therapeutic jurisprudence" a panacea?

Kostenko's article one can find analysis of this problem and existing practice, as well as possible solutions…
