The legal framework of the EAEU: some suggestions on classification

The subject of this study is the concept and composition of the "contractual and legal framework" and "law" of the Eurasian Economic Union in the context of the provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU dated 29.05.2014 and the legal positions of the EAEU Court. The purpose of the work is to determine the relationship and composition of the concepts of "contractual and legal framework of the EAEU" and "law of the EAEU", as well as to develop proposals for the classification of sources of law of the EAEU. The methodology of the scientific research includes the dialectical method, as well as general scientific logical operations (deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis), and specific scientific methods (formal-legal and comparative-legal methods). This study is of a general theoretical nature, and based on the application of a set of certain methods, which provides the opportunity to understand the internal structure of legal phenomena, allows us to analyze and study the concepts of "legal framework of the EAEU", "law of the EAEU", their composition and make proposals for their classification. These provisions ensure the relevance of the scientific research. Based on the results of the study, the author formulates a conclusion on the distinction between the terms "Legal Framework of the EAEU" and "Law of the EAEU", and also proposes a classification of sources of law of the EAEU. The results of the study are applicable both for further theoretical research in the field of EAEU law and in practice in the legislative and law enforcement activities of the EAEU bodies.
