Abstract:
The current article is devoted to theoretical aspects of smuggling as international crime in modern international law. Activization of the integration processes occurring at the international and regional levels, globalization of economy and abolition of the international trading barriers do the world very uniform and interconnected. At the same time it becomes rather vulnerable. Gradual transformation of world space to a uniform zone where capitals almost free move, the goods, services and freely extend ideas, creates
real preconditions for active development of socially dangerous phenomena. One of the most serious problems is contraband of narcotics, psychotropic substances, weapon, cultural-historical values.
