Публічне адміністрування створення системи правової інформації в Україні

One of the modern, positive human rights is the right to receive legal information. Access to information is a component of the subjective right to information, which provides for the possibility for participants in information relations to freely obtain, use, distribute and store information necessary for them to exercise their rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, and to perform tasks and functions. The right to access information is a constitutional human right, which is provided for and guaranteed by Article 34 of the Constitution of Ukraine, namely, the right of everyone to freedom of thought and speech, to freely express their views and beliefs; the right to freely collect, store, use and disseminate information orally, in writing or in any other way of their choice. The exercise of these rights may be restricted by law in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public order, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of public health, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary. It is noted that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has regulated the procedure for bringing adopted regulatory legal acts to the attention of the population, which provides for bringing the laws of Ukraine and other regulatory legal acts to the attention of the population in various ways provided for by law. Thus, the administration of the ways and mechanisms for bringing regulatory legal acts to the population specified in the law is an integral part of the system of regulatory legal information in Ukraine, or in other words, the specified ways and mechanisms for bringing regulatory legal acts to the population, together with various registers of regulatory legal acts, form a certain system of regulatory legal information of state authorities in Ukraine. It is emphasized that ensuring the use of legal information can be considered primarily in the context of implementing a number of other functions of the state, among which the function of protecting the rights and freedoms of man and citizen can be included. The implementation of the specified function of the state entails the implementation of certain administrative measures regarding its implementation, including through law-making and law-enforcement, therefore it is important to consider this function in the context of ensuring the right of citizens to legal aid. Attention is drawn to the fact that ensuring free access to legal information also implies its free provision for citizens. Therefore, a single centralized system should be created and operated, ensuring the maintenance and access of users to registers of regulatory legal acts and legal information at the level of the whole of Ukraine (National level), which should also include the relevant resources of local government bodies. The above is a sign of the effective functioning of a democratic society, a sign of the practical implementation of citizens' rights and legitimate interests, a sign of the further development of the country and society. Attention is drawn to the fact that due to the incomplete implementation of the administrative reform in Ukraine, the issue of access to regulatory and legal information created by local government bodies is gaining additional relevance. The issue of creating a single database of legal information for local government bodies is becoming relevant. This will provide access to all decisions and regulatory and legal acts, information on the process of their adoption, information on their validity and their current versions. It is the website of a public authority that is the main communicative link that connects it with the recipients of administrative services, that is, with the community. The existence of an official website creates powerful and significant technical and administrative advantages for a local government body, which are capable of fundamentally changing the very ideology of providing administrative services. Thus, the creation of an integrated (consolidated) system of legal information generally involves drawing on the experience of implementing and operating previous similar projects, taking into account modern conditions and solving the tasks that will be faced by the newly created system. Currently, Ukraine has the relevant prerequisites for creating a consolidated system of regulatory and legal information of public authorities on the basis of existing registers, platforms and websites. All that is needed is a manifestation of political will for this, which will contribute to the further integration of Ukraine into the family of democratic countries of Europe.
