Russian term

диспозиция статьи

Russian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Все анализируемые преступления (ст. 208, 209, 210 УК РФ) имеют формальный состав, т. е. преступление считается оконченным с момента совершения действий, указанных в диспозиции статьи.

I am not sure what "диспозиция" means in this context; it is definitely not "disposition" as other dictionaries suggest. I assume that it is sort of like a "context of the article," but I cannot come up with a legal term in English. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

"...Диспозиция — это само правило поведения, то, что должны совершить адресаты данной нормы, можно сказать, цель данной нормы"

Используя здешнюю терминологию, можно наверное сказать и legislative intent
Хотя, пожалуй, не в исходном предложении

I'm not sure about 'definition'. Doesn't it refer to the meaning in which a word is used?
Note from asker:
I think "description" is accaptable yet "definition" is more appropriate as it is used more commonly in the 18 USC. Thoughts? Thank you so much for your help! It definitely put me on the right track.

agree Maria Popova : Учитывая, что аналога нет, это очень хорошее объяснение. Disposicion употреблять нельзя из-за его первого юридического значения.

categorization in the article

Categorization:
The basic cognitive process of arranging into classes or categories;

The process in which ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated, and understood.[1] Categorization implies that objects are grouped into categories, usually for some specific purpose. Ideally, a category illuminates a relationship between the subjects and objects of knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorization

Yes, the word Classification is different from "диспозиция" and is a synonym of the term "Categorization" that means either the act of distributing things into categories of the same type or grouping them arranged by categories.
Note from asker:
that's not exactly right. the proper term is "classification of crime," which is different from "диспозиция."

спасибо! я видела эту дефиницию и так и поняла, что диспозиция это не "disposition" на английском. Спасибо за помощь!
