Abstract

The issue of using current foreign experience in collecting, studying and processing human genomic information as well as conducting molecular genetic analysis in forensic science institutions of Ukraine is outlined. Peculiarities of undertaking the main organizational forms of such cooperation: through special (forensic science) institutions and specific specialists (forensic experts) are analyzed. International standards used in forensic science are presented. An analysis of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in the use of genomic information and human biological material is performed. The need of introduction of international standards for the process of molecular genetic analysis into national legislation is highlighted and justified.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Council of the European Network of Forensic Institutions (ENFSI) made a decision to suspend the membership of the Russian Federal Forensic Center (Moscow) and the North-West Regional Forensic Center (St. Petersburg). The decision was taken at the initiative of the leadership of the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine (KNDISE). In addition to the exclusion of forensic expert institutions of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, the ENFSI Council also made a decision to exclude all Russian scientists from the European Academy of Forensic Science (EAFS), as reported by Penelope Mineati, Head of ENFSI, in a letter sent to KNDISE. “ENFSI views with Ukraine and especially with four Ukrainian member institutions of ENFSI. We hope that this senseless war will end without further casualties on either side,” Penelope Mineati said in the letter. Victories on the scientific front: forensic expert institutions of the Russian Federation are excluded from international specialized organizations. Publication date: 20.03.2022.
