Constitutional and legal foundations of public control in the countries of modern Asia (on the example of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the Republic of Cyprus)

This article is devoted to a public law analysis of the constitutional and legal foundations of public control in the countries of modern Asia (using the example of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the Republic of Cyprus). The constitutional and legal regulation of public control in these countries has a number of negative examples of legal regulation: a) this institution of civil society is not formalized in the constitutions of these states; b) there is no legislative consolidation of the concept of public control (control of civil society over the processes of formation and functioning of the apparatus of public power); c) the legislation does not establish a system of public control; d) the list of grounds for restricting human and civil rights and freedoms has been significantly expanded; e) a number of subjects organizing the participation of society in the control of public authorities the authorities are state or quasi-state entities; f) public control does not cover the entire territory of the country in connection with the activities of anti-Government, separatist and extremist groups. The work uses a number of scientific research methods: formal-logical; comparative-legal; historical-legal; method of analysis of specific legal situations; statistical; sociological. Solving problems related to negative examples of constitutional and legal regulation of public control in the above-mentioned states will require the development and implementation of a system of measures that include, in particular: a) formalization of the institution of public control in the constitutions of these countries; b) detailing this institution of civil society in legislation by consolidating its concepts, methods, forms, principles, types of events, systems of subjects and facilities; (c) The creation of national subjects of public control authorized to carry out its activities in all spheres of society and the state; (d) the consolidation of a system of public control in legislation; (e) the consolidation of measures of legal responsibility for countering public control measures; (f) the expansion of the rights of trade union organizations in terms of organizing and conducting public control measures; (g) the development of measures of state support for the activities of subjects of public control.
