Administrative and legal status of public administration bodies of a military-civil character as public administration subjects

Abstract

The article examines the administrative and legal status of public administration bodies of a military-civil character, which were created in Ukraine with the beginning of the armed aggression of the russian federation in 2014 and with the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. These bodies are now military administrations and military-civil administrations.
 Bodies of public administration of a military-civil character are defined as temporary state bodies with elements of a military management organization formed by the Decree of the President of Ukraine as a temporary forced measure to ensure the safety and normalization of the life of the population in the specified territory of Ukraine: in the area of repelling armed aggression of the russian federation, near-front and rear zones. Emphasis is placed on the uniqueness of this institution, which is a complex administrative structure that combines both, administrative and law enforcement functions.
 The concept of administrative-legal status of public administration bodies of a military-civil character is formulated and defined as a legal position in the system of social-legal relations in the field of public administration, which is determined by enshrining tasks, functions, competence, subjects of responsibilities, guarantees of activity and responsibility in the norms of administrative law.
 It is emphasized that the functioning of public administration bodies of a military-civil character remains relevant in the process of deoccupation of already liberated territories, and will remain so for some time after liberation and in the process of reintegration of all temporarily occupied territories of our state. The functioning of such bodies requires improvement and further development of the regulatory and legal framework, the formation of relevant institutions, a special personnel policy, the introduction of new forms and methods of management, etc. These practical measures should be carried out with the use of a strong scientific basis involving scientists in various fields including administrative and legal science in research.
