Concept of administrative and legal status of subjects of state anti-corruption policy in Ukraine

Abstract

The article examines scientific approaches to defining the concepts of "subject of administrative law", "status", "legal status", "administrative-legal status". It was found that the anti-corruption legislation does not contain the concept of "subject of state anti-corruption policy". It has been proven that the main subject of the state anti-corruption policy should be the people of Ukraine, who develop and implement policy measures through state and local self-government bodies. A broad approach to understanding the system of subjects of the state anti-corruption policy, which includes the system of subjects of combating it as a constituent element, and citizens and civil society occupies one of the main places in this system, is substantiated.
 The views of scientists regarding the classification of subjects of the state anti-corruption policy are analyzed. It has been proven that the existing scientific approaches are characterized by a certain complexity and burdensomeness, or on the contrary, they narrow or do not reveal the completeness of the system of subjects of the state anti-corruption policy. Most of the existing classifications are reduced to subjects of prevention and fight against corruption. It is substantiated that the existing approach to classification is not fully in harmony with the system of subjects of the state anti-corruption policy, as well as with the list of functions performed by individual subjects in the development of its measures, carried out in monitoring the state of implementation, etc. It is proved that the system of subjects of state anti-corruption policy is much wider than the system of subjects of fighting it. The subjects of the state anti-corruption policy are proposed to be understood as the people of Ukraine, bodies of state and local self-government, public associations, institutions and organizations, and persons who have rights and are endowed with duties (obliged or must participate) in the development and implementation of the state anti-corruption policy.
 The features of the concepts "subject of state anti-corruption policy" and "administrative-legal status of the subject of state anti-corruption policy" have been summarized, corresponding author's concepts have been formulated. The system of subjects of the state anti-corruption policy was also divided into main groups.
