Abstract
This article examines the issues related to the modern views on the law and its impact on the criminal legislation of Ukraine. The analysis of the current scientific thought about the volume and meaning of the categories of “right” and “law” is carried out, their juxtaposition is explained, and it is argued that these categories differ one from another and do not coincide neither for their volume, nor for their meaning. It is suggested to use integrative approach as the most optimal in determining the impact of law and order on the implementation of
domestic criminal legislation.

Keywords: criminal law, positivism, normativism, libertarianism, mondialism, broad understanding of law, legal theory, legal system.
