АДМІНІСТРАТИВНО-ПРАВОВЕ ПІДГРУНТЯ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ФОРМ ГРОМАДСЬКОГО КОНТРОЛЮ ЗА ДІЯЛЬНІСТЮ ОРГАНІВ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ВЛАДИ

Abstract

The article defines the key forms of public control over the activities of state authorities, which are divided into general, special and specialized groups. The given forms are characterized with the disclosure of their essence and content. General forms of public control include those that are accessible to most citizens. This general availability is ensured taking into account the fact that the latter find their consolidation in the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine. They are norms of direct action that can be used by a wide range of persons, in particular in the form of appeals, requests for obtaining public information and mass gatherings. It is emphasized that special forms of public control require preparatory work by citizens and institutions of civil society. In the process, the authorization of control over subjects of public administration, which is carried out on behalf of the population, takes place. These forms are dependent on the decisions of the subjects of power, which raises some doubts about their efficiency and effectiveness. It is substantiated that specialized forms of public control are not initiated by the public, but by subjects of public administration. In this way, the important task of informing the public about the state and prospects of the functioning of public administration entities is implemented. A general characterization of the features of the current state of administrative and legal support of the institute of public control in this area has been carried out. Such provision is proposed to be understood as a set of legal means aimed at developing an effective mechanism for involving certain institutions of civil society and individual citizens in the management of state affairs by promoting equal and rational interaction of public authorities with various interested strata of the population.
