The place and role of international organizations in the law-making activities of Ukraine

The article is devoted to determining the place and role of international organizations in the law-making activity of Ukraine. It is noted that the current national legislation gives the right to international organizations to participate in the law-making activity of Ukraine. The participation of international organizations in law-making activity depends on their competence. International organizations carry out their activities, including law-making, within the limits specified in their constituent documents and agreements concluded with the relevant states. Ukraine enters relations with an international organization by joining an existing or signing a new agreement. It is emphasized that the participation of international organizations in the law-making activity of Ukraine is implemented in two directions: concluding agreements with Ukraine and adopting certain decisions. The role of an international organization in the national law-making process is determined by the tasks of ensuring the implementation of the provisions of the relevant agreement, both on the part of the organization itself and on the part of Ukraine. The most influential international organizations in the field of law-making activity of Ukraine are highlighted. It is established that their competence in the law-making process depends on the goals and objectives defined in the founding acts. Among them, international organizations of general interest, international organizations of financial interest, international non-governmental organizations are highlighted. It is stated that the greatest influence on law-making activity in Ukraine is exerted by international organizations of general and sectoral interest by providing recommendations on reforming a specific area, projects or existing legislative acts. International financial organizations participate in law-making activity indirectly by allocating financial assistance for reforms, except for international organizations on financial control, whose activities are aimed at unifying the implementation of financial activities and state financial control. It is concluded that the obligations assumed by Ukraine in the field of law- making contribute to the development and effectiveness of national legislation.
