Problematic issues of criminal prosecution for the illegal extraction of mineral resources

Анотація
The land, mineral resources, atmospheric air, water, and other natural resources located within the territory of Ukraine, as well as natural resources of the Ukrainian continental shelf, exclusive (maritime) economic zone are the objects of property rights of the Ukrainian people. Rights of ownership are exercised on behalf of the Ukrainian people by the State and local authorities within the limits set down by the Constitution [1]. The territory of modern Ukraine is rich in a significant number and variety of minerals; proceeding from their diversity and location in different regions of the state, the environmental offences and crimes have their own factual, law, and geographical specific context and relevant consequent effects of their commitment. Accordingly, illegal forest devastation (the crime in the area of forest utilization) as well as mining of amber are more prevalent in western regions; concurrently, central and eastern areas are feeling the pressure of other environmental crimes such as illegitimate underground and openpit mining of mineral resources, unlawful extraction of hydrocarbons (there are corresponding mining activities in Kharkiv and Poltava regions, and they are mainly carried out by stateowned companies), pollution of soil, water resources and atmospheric air. Problems of land use are a separate topic for research in the fields of the land market regulation and land use intrinsic to open-pit mining, prevailing at industrial central and eastern regions of Ukraine, and South of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Furthermore, in Ukraine, there has been a total absence of any statistics in the context of latency of the environmental crimes, the volume of the illegally extracted resources as well as information on economic losses of budgets of different levels, data on the redundant or uncreated job opportunities, and also the death toll in illegal mineral production, the analysis of economic and legal consequences for particular regions and the entire country, information on the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk regions, and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
