Objects of Legal Relationships: Sector-Specific Approach

Introduction. The object of legal relationship is an important element of any legal relations. This is due to the fact that no legal relationship can take place if there is no an object. In the doctrine of law, the essence of an object of legal relationship is under dispute. As a result of doctrinal research, the monistic and pluralistic concepts have been formulated in the legal literature. The aim of this article is to study the theoretical provisions for the object of legal relationship and develop practical recommendations on amending the current legislation. Based on the provisions of the object of legal relationship concepts existing in the doctrine of law, the author investigates the specific features of the legal relationship objects of the animal world protection and use. Nowadays the study of the objects of faunistic legal relationships is relevant due to importance of the animal world objects for the society and state, because in the process of rights and liabilities fulfilment, the subjects of legal relationships satisfy the economic, environmental and social interests.

Materials and Methods. In the article, the methodological basis is formed by a set of philosophical, general scientific and specific scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, concrete-historical, logical methods, etc.).

The Results. Formulating the practical recommendations for amending the current animal welfare legislation is claimed to be the research result. The article differentiates the regulation of the faunistic and civil legal relationships.

Discussion and Conclusion. The article could be used in the educational activities of law universities and faculties, as well as in the activities of the executive authorities of the Russian Federation subjects. The author has provided the definition of a juridical and material objects of faunistic legal relationship and examined the differences and features thereof. To fill in the gaps in legislation, the author has proposed to develop and adopt the regulatory legal acts within the jurisdiction of the subjects of the Russian Federation aimed at regulating the relationships on the use of the wild animals not classified as hunting and fishing resources. The author has drawn the conclusion on the necessity to include CITES species and derivatives into the current animal welfare legislation. The theoretical and practical conclusions made by the author could be taken into account for further study of the specifics of the faunistic legal relationship.
