Evolution of the International Customs Law
Taking into account the called and other priorities facing the states
cooperating among themselves on customs questions also there is a further
development of the international customs law. Now the system of the norms
forming it represents already tens international treaties of universal
character developed under the auspices of Customs Cooperation Council (nowadays
- World Customs Organization), contracts through the UN and its specialized
institutions including these or those customs questions and the numerous
regional and bilateral contracts of the states on various questions of customs
affairs. So, in the textbook "International law" (1995) under the
editorship of the prof. G. F. Ignatenko in the section "Customs Cooperation"
it is noted that norms of the international customs law contain both in trade
agreements, and in special agreements on customs questions. These agreements
include:
a) definition of
the general directions of customs cooperation;
b) establishment of
uniform rules of customs registration and standardization of customs documents;
c) regulation of
types, forms and methods of customs control;
d) coordination of
lists prohibition for import (export; goods;
e) unification of
customs privileges;
e) a regulation of
relationship between customs authorities, including rendering legal aid [1,
C.224].
All this testifies that now about the
international customs law it is possible to speak and as about part of the
general positive international law and as about area of scientific knowledge
and a subject matter "The international customs law". In the latter
case the system of consideration of norms and concepts of the international
customs law accepted in the real work can't be considered, of course,
coinciding with system of positive legal material in this area, but the system
stated below as it is represented, nevertheless reflects the main tendencies of
real legal regulation of the interstate customs relations.
Now questions of international legal regulation of the customs relations
of the developing states for formation of a new international economic order
are of particular importance. Considering that the developing states still
remain in the sphere of the international system of managing of the states with
market economy, is obvious that need of various special programs for
development of developing countries in principle admits the world community
within the world economy and allows to increase own contribution of these
countries to the international division of labor.
Attempts of developing countries to change the existing international
and economic system by carrying out through General Assembly of the United
Nations in May, 1974 at the VI special session of resolutions on a new
international economic order and the resolution which approved the Charter of
the economic rights and obligations of the states in September same for the
about XXIX years of regular session of the United Nations General Assembly
didn't give due effect. Actually these documents contained requirements of
redistribution of the world income in favor of developing countries thus that
these countries didn't assume the obligation effectively to use resources from
the outside.
At the same time the most part of developing countries entered the
coordination relations with the mother country through the system of the
general preferences giving them some additional opportunities in the western
markets, and in particular through participation of the countries of Africa and
the Caribbean Region in the international economic organizations [2, C.35-36],
more susceptible to universal tendencies of development. It first of all
concerns questions of customs policy and international legal regulation of the
sphere of trade in the raw materials which are the main export article of
developing countries; problems of sale of their industrial output in the
markets of industrially developed states with market economy, and also problems
of tourist exchanges and economic integration.
For the effective solution of the problems stated above it is necessary
to eliminate artificially created discrimination customs restrictions of both
tariff, and not tariff character from the sphere of the international customs
relations.
In the world community under the influence of the general economic world
relations there is an integration of the right as by development of its general
norms and principles, and on the basis of regional or bilateral agreements,
development of the norms and principles operating in the states of various
social and economic systems. Internationalization of various aspects of life of
society, emergence of global problems of mankind also cause the directions of
integration communications in the international system in general. Processes of
integration and differentiation bypassed also modern international law.
Influence of scientific and technical progress made possible an otpochkovaniye
from it other branches of the right.
In system of international law there were new branches of international
law and area of legal regulation of the international legal relations, such as:
space right, nuclear right, medical right, nonconsumptive right, humanitarian
law, river right, railway right, economic right, right of tourism and travel,
right of scientific and technical cooperation, ecological right, customs right,
bank right, etc.
International right-it is system of the precepts of law governing the
relations between the states in the course of their cooperation. That is
international right-it is set of the precepts of law and the principles
governing the relations not only the states, but also other subjects of the
international communication.
Therefore, international law — a standard subsystem of the international
system, special, other than legal systems of the concrete states. The subject
of regulation other than a subject of regulation of the internal law has
international law. These are the interstate relations in the broadest sense,
i.e. the relations between all subjects of this system of the right. If the
international law in general regulates all spheres of the international
relations, the international customs law — interstate communications only in
special area of their relations arising in the course of movement through
customs border of goods, natural persons, subjects, services and the capitals
[3, C.21].
Now in the course of formation of a new international economic order in
International treaties the principle of obligatory carrying out in life of
national and international tariff policy in the direction of implementation of
the international division of labor according to requirements and interests as
developing countries, and all international community in general gains the
development. This principle is legal expression of a compromise of the states
of the different social and economic systems located in various geographic
latitudes and carrying out the international customs relations on the basis of
the contracts providing unequal rates of customs taxation, types of customs
privileges, customs formalities, customs regulations and customs policy.
