PROVIDING PUBLIC ORDER IN THE LIGHT OF CODIFICATION OF CURRENT LEGISLATION

Abstract

The article deals with the codification of administrative legislation. The basic concepts are considered, approaches to a problem are revealed, directions of improvement of the current legislation are analyzed. The main attention is paid to the issue of codification as a legal category and codification of administrative law, since it is a form of lawmaking, and its main purpose is to providing the most complete legal regulation of a certain sphere of social relations by adopting logically complete normative acts of complex and generalizing nature. It is suggested that public law should perform the function of public order, which is provided with appropriate means of influence in case of violation of relations in this field. It is emphasized that the list of remedies of public order includes the rules of public law, but those with a protective orientation, public-legal relations that arise in cases of committing offenses in the sphere of public order, and acts of implementation of these rules. As for administrative law, its main function should be to protect the rights and freedoms of a citizen from illicit acts or inction of state bodies (officials). On the basis of a critical analysis of the foundations of post-Soviet jurisprudence, a modern understanding of the role and content of norms of administrative law is offered, as well as a comprehensive, balanced and consistent revision of the legislation, and its adjustment with modern European standards. In particular, there is an urgent need to reform the administrative law of Ukraine, the basis for defining the purpose of which is an approach formed in Soviet times, which should be based on a substantially updated, more democratic understanding of the public purpose of public law, which will replace Soviet administrative law. It is concluded that a qualitatively new ideology of legal thinking must be created and practically introduced in Ukraine.
