Abstract: The subject of this research is the provisions of current legislation establishing the categories of the objects of exclusive public property and regulating their legal regime. The author explores, generalizes and critically analyzes the practice of arbitration courts on consideration of property disputes involving objects of exclusive public property. The topic in question is examined in the context of the foreign and Russian public trust doctrine. Particular attention is paid to the critical analysis of the Decree of Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of 12.27.1991 No.3020-1 and its practical implementation. The following conclusions were made: 1) the concept of exclusive property objects is similar to the category of public domains in Roman Law countries; 2) the Decree of Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of 12.27.1991 No.3020-1 cannot be used as a normative criterion for the objects of exclusive property; 3) the relevant list of categories of exclusive property objects has not yet been systematized. The author underlined the need for qualitative development and prompt passage of the federal law “On the State and Municipal Property”, which would establish the exhaustive list of the categories of objects attributed as the exclusive public property, as well as codify their legal regime, including inalienability from property of the corresponding public formation, and inapplicability of the statutes of limitation for protecting the right to property by public administration.

Abstract: The object of this research consists in the peculiarities of accounting catching of marine biological resources. Russian Federation controls the marine biological resources on the continental shelf and in the exclusive economic zone by licensing individuals and companies for usage thereof. The main issue explored here lies in the absence of legal mechanisms allowing verifiably establishing the fact, after which the catch of marine bioresources and fish or other derivative products can be considered illegally obtained (caught). The questions of improvement of legislation in the area of accounting for caught marine bioresources are justified by the growing number of violations in the area of protection of biological resources and the need for establishing active control in this sphere. The author notes that the main cause for UUU (unlawful, unreported, unregulated) fishing lies in the flaws of the normative-legislative base that would regulate the order of accounting of the catch. The existing accounting mechanisms for marine biological resources being caught does not allow timely intervention in the illegal fishing, which causes significant damages to the economic and other interests of the Russian Federation.
