FINE IN CRIMINAL LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS AND UKRAINE: COMMONFEATURES AND PECULIARITIES, THE PRESENT AND PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Fine as a type of punishment in criminal law of Belarus and Ukraine has not only a number of common features, but significant
peculiarities of its imposition and application. For the first time they were compared, positive and highly controversial issues of the
national criminal laws of both states regarding this type of punishment were pointed out. In particular, the advantages of the Belarusian model of penalty regarding the determination of the fine, the possibility of postponing its execution and replacement with another type of punishment were revealed. At the same time, the provisions of the Ukrainian fine model regarding the peculiarities of its imposition and legal consequences of deviations from its payment were proposed to discuss. In addition, such common issues for both states as the place of the fine in the system of punishments, its correlation with other types of punishments and units of its calculation were addressed. Based on the analysis not only the mechanisms for resolving a number of existing problems were presented, but also the proposals
concerning further improvement of the legislative prescriptions on the fine as a type of punishment were developed.
