В настоящей статье авторы подробно останавливаются на международно-правовой квалификации уведомления Российской Федерации не становиться участником Римского статута и его последствий, а также на международно-правовом статусе Российской Федерации с позиции теории права международных договоров, что представляется актуальным как для дальнейшего сотрудничества между Россией и МУС, так и для последующей квалификации аналогичных действий государств.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В качестве материалов в работе использованы международные договоры, официальные заявления государств, а также доктринальные исследования в области права международных договоров. Методологической основой исследования выступают специально-юридическое, узуальное, нормативное, телеологическое и систематическое толкование международных договоров, общенаучные, а также частные методы познания, характерные для юридических наук, в том числе логический, формальноюридический, сравнительно-правовой и др.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты исследования</title><p>Результаты исследования. В ходе проведенного исследования авторы обращают внимание на то, что после подписания Президентом РФ распоряжения от 16 ноября 2016 г. № 361-рп «О намерении Российской Федерации не стать участником Римского статута Международного уголовного суда» появилось немало вопросов касательно международно-правового статуса России. Не добавило ясности и Министерство иностранных дел РФ: использованная в его официальных заявлениях терминология с точки зрения международного права породила противоречивые выводы относительно не только прав и обязанностей России с момента уведомления не стать участником Римского статута, но и ее международно-правового статуса в период между подписанием этого договора и вышеназванным уведомлением (договаривающееся государство, государство-участник или третье государство).</p></sec><sec><title>Обсуждение и выводы</title><p>Обсуждение и выводы. В настоящей статье авторы обращают внимание на возможные негативные последствия подобных официальных заявлений для ценности и юридической значимости международно-правовой позиции России. Авторы приходят к выводу, что никаких существенных перемен в международно-правовом статусе России не произошло. Имело место пренебрежение юридически закрепленными, общепризнанными формулировками и обращение к обиходной терминологии, что в итоге исказило суть события и создало смысловую путаницу.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. This article examines the legal consequences attached to the Russia’s notification of its intention not to become a party to the ICC. The authors point out the confusing language employed by Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs in its attendant declarations and highlight the necessity to strictly stick to legal terminology especially in documents and speeches intended as a message to foreign States. These materials express the official position of the Russian Federation and need to be unequivocal and not subject to interpretation. Otherwise, a State taking liberty with terminology in its official declarations takes a risk of assuming in the eyes of international community obligations that it did not intend to assume. The authors’ remarks may be used in the future interactions with the ICC and generally in similar situations.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The article uses treaties, declarations of States and doctrinal research on the law of treaties. The authors rely on various methods to reach their conclusions, among which treaty interpretation is most frequently used.</p></sec><sec><title>Research results</title><p>Research results. In the article the authors show that on 16 November 2016, Russia disclosed its intention not to become a party to the 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs stressed that although fighting against impunity, including collectively through international tribunals, is of the utmost importance to Russia, in its view, the ICC has not lived up to the expectations held at the Rome diplomatic conference. The Ministry pointed out the disproportionality between the finances spent by the Court in fourteen years of work and only four verdicts rendered. It also indicated understanding the decision of several States-parties to initiate proceedings to withdraw from the Statute.</p><p>Discussion and conclusions. In this article the authors draw attention to potential adverse effect of such declarations and notifications on the legal status of the Russian Federation. The article concludes that no substantial changes have affected the status of the Russian Federation as a result of its decision not to become a party to the Rome Statute. Russian officials simply have had recourse to common language to express a legal concept thereby creating a confusion and distorting the reality.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>право международных договоров</kwd><kwd>международное уголовное право</kwd><kwd>третье государство</kwd><kwd>ратификация</kwd><kwd>толкование международных договоров</kwd><kwd>Римский статут Международного уголовного суда</kwd><kwd>Венская конвенция о праве международных договоров 1969 г.</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>law of treaties</kwd><kwd>international criminal law</kwd><kwd>third state</kwd><kwd>ratification</kwd><kwd>interpretation of treaties</kwd><kwd>Rome Statute of International Criminal Court</kwd><kwd>Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Лукашук И.И. 2004.
