IMPROVING NATIONAL SECURITY LEGISLATION AS AN EFFICIENCY MULTIPLIER OF THE CORRUPTION OFFENSES PREVENTION IN THE MILITARY COMMAND AND CONTROL BODIES

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to suggest ways to improve the legislation on national security in order to increase the effectiveness of preventing corruption offenses in the military command and control bodies. The article focuses on the fact that activities to prevent corruption offenses cannot yet be considered fully effective due to the influence of a number of factors of a legal, organizational, theoretical and methodological nature. This requires systematic, comprehensive work aimed at developing a solid theoretical and methodological basis for preventing corruption offenses in military command and control bodies. Features clarified the reflection of the prevention of corruption in national legislation from 2003 to the present. The statement is made that the effectiveness of the functioning of the legal mechanism for ensuring national security depends on an integrated approach to security threats. A high level of corruption offenses in the state can offset achievements in other areas: political, economic, military, public security and law enforcement, etc. Of particular danger is the commission of corruption offenses by military officials, since during the period of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against our state, the significance of the duties assigned to them increases significantly, and their improper performance can affect the level of the state's defense capability. The article determines that the phenomenon of corruption has a very wide range of understanding options, therefore, in our opinion, it would be more correct to investigate the features of corruption offenses (the list of which is closed) or corruption risks. It is concluded that the improvement of the national security legislation as a factor in increasing the effectiveness of preventing corruption offenses in the military administration requires amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On the National Security of Ukraine". This Law should be supplemented with an edited concept of national security, which would include as an element the construction of "prevention of corruption", as well as the systematization of activities to prevent corruption offenses in the National Security Strategy of Ukraine.
