SOME ISSUES FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES RELATING TO COUNTERACTION TO COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE
The article examines key areas of adaptation of international and European experience in countering collaborationism in the context of the formation of modern administrative and legal policy of Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of international legal acts regulating the countering of collaborationism, in particular the provisions of the IV Geneva Convention, its Additional Protocols, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The competence of international institutions — the ICC, the ECHR, the UN Security Council — in matters related to responding to collaborationism is determined. The comprehensive administrative and legal measures used by foreign countries to prevent and combat collaborationism are analyzed, in particular: lustration procedures, restrictions on access to public service, administrative sanctions, information and educational campaigns. Considerable attention is paid to the practice of such states as Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Croatia, the Republic of Kosovo, Belgium (with an emphasis on the Flanders and Brussels regions), the Baltic countries, Cyprus and Turkey. The issue of information security as a component of national security, and administrative and legal means of ensuring it in the EU countries are separately considered. The article outlines examples of the use of digital technologies and cybersecurity in countering information collaborationism, including institutional solutions (ANSSI, BSI, NCSC) and analytical platforms (EU DisinfoLab, EDMO). The author proposes methodological approaches to the implementation of international experience in the national legislation of Ukraine: functional, institutional, regulatory, cultural and historical, and conformity assessment approaches. Within the framework of the author's concept, three strategic vectors for Ukraine are identified: adaptation (lustration practices, sanction policy, information response models), implementation (administrative restriction procedures, digital infrastructure, cyber strategy), as well as ratification (of international conventions, charters and EU directives on information security). The need for regulatory modernization of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, strengthening information security and developing a national strategy for administrative and legal counteraction to collaborative activities is substantiated.
