LEGAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE: DOMESTIC ASPECT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the causes and disclosure of types of threats to the legal system of the state, as well as the disclosure of negative consequences for public life in Ukraine and the functioning of the state arising from internal threats. As there are many facts of various negative attitudes towards the national legal system in Ukraine in the context of reforms in Ukraine and Euro-Atlantic aspirations of Ukraine, it is urgent and urgent to analyze the causes of their occurrence, as well as develop ways to minimize this negative phenomenon. This will contribute to the practical implementation of the tasks facing the Ukrainian people today. This is the purpose and relevance of the research topic. In order to achieve the goal of this study, it used both general and special scientific methods of scientific knowledge: empirical; analysis; comparison; abstraction; induction and deduction; analysis and synthesis; combination of theory and practice; formalization; modeling, as well as special methods of scientific knowledge-statistical, concrete-sociological, cybernetic, modeling, logical, historical, formal-legal, hermeneutic, comparative, socio-legal, etc. In view of previous scientific research on this topic, it is noted that the term “legal security” is associated with such a phenomenon as non-observance or disregard of the norms of law, which collectively acquired in the scientific environment such a definition as “legal nihilism”, which manifests itself as open as well as in hidden (latent) form; its content and reasons for its occurrence on the territory of Ukraine are briefly disclosed. It is noted that the mentioned negative manifestations can occur in three directions: in the process of rule-making (legislative) activity and in the process of rule-enforcement activity of state bodies and their officials (officials), as well as in the process of law enforcement; a historical tour of the causes of this phenomenon within the period of Ukraine’s independence was conducted, and concrete examples of their manifestation were also given. The spheres of public activity are analyzed, in which the negative facts of neglect and violation of legal norms are most manifested, in which there are specific threats to the legal system of Ukraine, and which do not contribute to the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Ukrainian people; the forms of their manifestation are given. The main directions of overcoming legal nihilism in modern conditions are offered, except for the ways of legal and educational character generally defined in scientific researches.
