Abstract:
The article discusses the condition and perspective of DNA identification (genomic registration) in Russia and Eurasia. The authors outline the main issues in the development of forensic registration, such as: lack of introduction of modern technologies, low level of interaction between the institutions, inadequacy of statutory regulation of genomic registration, dependency on foreign supplies. Gaps in the state regulation of genomic registration are noted, issues of legal regulation and law enforcement practice related to the protection of genomic information are highlighted. Due to the increased migration process the DNA identification is an extremely relevant issue for Russia and Eurasia. The aim of the article is to study the theoretical aspects of the legislative policy aimed at DNA identification of the population. It is also aimed at detection and prevention of extremist crimes and at the study of registration practices. Extended analysis revealed that the existing laws and regulations in Russia are not fully effective, it is proposed to introduce additional measures to improve the legal support for genomic registration of the population of Russia and the countries of Eurasia. The possibilities of DNA identification are shown, the prospects of its improvement are analyzed. © Siberian Federal University. All rights reserved.
