The paper deals with diverse theoretical understanding of ensuring the criminological security of minors on the international level, and analyzes the regulation of the protection of children's rights. The paper focuses on formulating the conceptual framework of international legal protection of minors. It is proposed to introduce the author's concept of international legal protection of minors. The international legal protection of minors should be understood as a system of normative acts that entrench the rights and freedoms of children, the obligations of the states to exercise these rights and freedoms; as well as international mechanisms for monitoring the fulfillment by the states of their international obligations and protection of the violated rights of each particular minor. The study explores the history of the international legal protection of the rights of minors. It is noted that the international community has adopted a number of normative acts to ensure children’s rights, to prevent juvenile delinquency, the treatment of juvenile offenders, exercising justice. In particular, when it comes to juvenile offenders, the norms of international law are actually the policy of treating such children. At the same time, the key idea of all international legal acts in combating juvenile delinquency is recognizing the priority of preventive measures over punitive ones. Attention is drawn to the fact that due to globalization, no country will be able to fight crime effectively on its own, coordinated efforts of the entire international community are needed. At the same time, the useful law enforcement practices of foreign countries with regard to child protection should be of no less interest. It seems that the Russian Federation should attempt to decrease the level of punishment and incarceration.

The analysis of statistical data and numerous examples from law enforcement practice indicates the transformation of ways of involving minors in criminal activity, namely, an increase in cases of such involvement using modern digital and information and communication technologies. The purpose of the paper is to study the criminalistic signs of remote involvement of minors in criminal activity. The dialectical, logical, systemic, as well as a number of other methods of scientific cognition: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, description form the methodological basis of the study. Results: the authors substantiate the conclusion that it is necessary to consider the actions of remote involvement of minors in crimes as an independent object of criminalistic research. It is noted that these actions often act as an element of the mechanism of organized criminal activity committed and coordinated from the territory of other states. The subjects, methods, means and conditions of remote involvement of minors in criminal activity, as well as concealment of such actions, are analyzed. The article formulates a number of scientific and applied tasks that require prompt solution in the stud y and dev elopment of criminalistic means and methods of investigation and prevention of remote involvement of minors in criminal activity.

In 2014, to oppose the state authorities of Ukraine, in some areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, illegal armed groups were formed, including young people under the age of 18. Some of the minors underwent appropriate training in paramilitary camps that sprung up spontaneously in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas in 2014. In the future, the occupation administrations of the so-called republics started "systematic" work on the militarization of local youth: both through the sphere of education and in extracurricular time. Th e purpose of the study is to reveal the features of the militarization of youth in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions through the activities of paramilitary camps. Th e research methodology consisted of historical-genetic and historical-systemic methods. Th e conducted research is based on a complex of sources: offi cial reports of the state authorities of Ukraine -- the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, the Ombudsman for Human Rights; data collected by human rights organizations; photo and video materials; messages in social networks; publications of mass media, including those controlled by self-proclaimed bodies in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions; messages from "offi cial electronic resources" of self-proclaimed authorities in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Main results of the study. Based on the analysis of the activities of the paramilitary camps, it was possible to single out the main aspects of their work, the main subjects, the peculiarities of functioning, etc. The "system of military-patriotic education" in the quasi-formations in Donbas needs further study if it is considered a fully approved system of infl uence on children and youth by the Russian Federation for planting in other territories of Ukraine occupied by it.
