Abstract
Aim. To identify the actual problems of the theory of legal understanding and practice of legal regulation of biological safety in international law and Russian law, to consider the theoretical and applied aspects of the legal content and types of biological safety, to assess the sources of international law and Russian legislation regulating relations in the field of biological safety.
Methodology. The work uses general scientific methods (system analysis, dialectical, formal-logical) and special research methods (comparative-legal, historical-legal, formal-legal).
Results. Theoretical and methodological, scientific and practical issues of legal understanding and legal content of biological safety are disclosed, classification of its types is proposed. The assessment and forecasts of the improvement of the legal regulation of biological safety in international law and in Russian law are given.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the theory and practice of international law and constitutional law, creating prerequisites for the development of the doctrine and identification of classifications of biological safety types, further in-depth conceptual study of this public legal category. Proposals have been made to improve the legal regulation of biological safety.
