Legal issues of the effectiveness of the security and defense sector's security forces in view of the need to comply with the constitutional principles of activity

Abstract

The article examines the legal issues of the effectiveness of the security forces of the security and defence sector with a view to the need to comply with constitutional principles in their activities. The system of ensuring national security of the Ukrainian State should create a unified State and legal mechanism which clearly defines the elements of security, and should solve tasks and perform functions to protect the vital interests of an individual, the State and society within the powers defined by current legislation. The author identifies the need for development of legislation and other legal acts regulating relations in the area of national security, which, in turn, requires, of course, a new legal understanding which is to be applied in law-making and law implementation.
