ПОНЯТТЯ ГРОМАДСЬКОЇ ЕКСПЕРТИЗИ ТА ЇЇ ЗНАЧЕННЯ В ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ОРГАНІВ ПУБЛІЧНОГО АДМІНІСТРУВАННЯ

Abstract

Over the latest 5–10 years, the vocabulary of Ukrainian civil society has increasingly used such concepts as «public monitoring», «public expertise», «public control». This technology is of particular importance in the context of the fact that public control is the basic component of democratic governance. European practice has various forms of such control in its arsenal, which has become a good tradition and a guarantee of democracy in the past world. Back in 2008, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, namely on November 5, 2008, by Resolution No. 976 adopted the Procedure for Assisting in the Public Expertise of the Executive Authorities Activity. This means that the establishments of civil society, can assess the effectiveness of the activities of any executive authority of Ukraine, according to a certain procedure, as well as they can carry out the procedure for taking into account the latest results of public expertise. Public expertise makes it possible to assess the activities of public authorities, as well as to influence their policies and execution of decisions. The study and unambiguous understanding of public expertise will help to avoid problems in the practical implementation of human and civil rights and freedoms through difficulties. Thus, the concept of public expertise has not yet been sufficiently defined either in normative legal acts or in scientific literature. It should be noted that this concept, namely public examination, is a new phenomenon for domestic science and practice, therefore this concept requires a comprehensive and deep research. So, in our opinion, public expertise is a tool or form of public control which is aimed at achieving transparency in the work of state authorities and local self-government, ensuring the implementation and protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as such expertise is used for forming and developing civil consciousness. As for the public expertise of executive authorities, it should be noted that it is still more an assessment of their activities and the effectiveness of their decision-making and implementation of these decisions.
