Anti-corruption security of Ukraine as a prospective component of state legal politicians: theoretical and legal aspects

Abstract

The article, based on the analysis of the features of the content of the Anti-corruption Strategy, highlights certain shortcomings of the regulatory potential of the specified regulatory act. Their isolation gave grounds to substantiate the expediency of the legislative implementation of a specific legal institution - the institution of anti-corruption security. We propose to understand anti-corruption security as a state of protection of the national interests of Ukraine from the use of official powers or related opportunities by the subjects defined by the anti-corruption
 legislation for the purpose of receiving an undue benefit or accepting such a benefit or accepting a promise (offer) of such a benefit for themselves or other persons or, accordingly, a promise (offer) or provision of an unlawful benefit to a circle of subjects defined by anti-corruption legislation, or at their request to other natural or legal persons with the aim of inciting this person to unlawfully use the official powers granted to him or opportunities related to them. Since corruption is defined by the legislation of Ukraine as a threat to national security, it is suggested that those responsible for the implementation of the Anti-corruption Strategy and ensuring anti-corruption security define the President of Ukraine as a state institution responsible for the effectiveness of state policy in the field of ensuring national security and defense.
 It is substantiated that the introduction of the anti-corruption security institute into the legal system will contribute to the optimization of the legal policy of Ukraine in the field of anti-corruption. Therefore, the creation of a system of legal support for the anti-corruption security institute is a promising and urgent task of the state legal policy. The implementation of the anti-corruption security institute will be a factor in creating real conditions for and decorporatization of power relations at all levels and stopping the degradation and deformation of the system of legal regulators by eradicating illegal practices. The implementation of the anti-corruption security institute requires preliminary urgent scientific analysis, broad discussion and, ultimately, the adoption of a consolidated political decision by higher authorities regarding the development and adoption of a legislative framework for the implementation of the anti­corruption security institute.
