Abstract

Introduction. The continuous development of political, legal and economic spheres of social and state life determines the need to improve the legal grounds of administrative responsibility as the main means of their legal protection. In light of this, there is a need to reform the legislation of Ukraine on liability for administrative offenses, which, in turn, requires the development of a reliable theoretical basis for systemic legislative changes and transformations.

Problem. The current state of legal regulation of responsibility for administrative offenses is characterized by conceptual obsolescence, eclecticism of content, defects in legal technique, the presence of numerous duplications and gaps, inconsistency with modern socio-economic conditions. These shortcomings significantly reduce the effectiveness of the application of separate administrative-delict norms and the institution of administrative responsibility as a whole.

The aim of the article is to highlight the shortcomings of the legislation of Ukraine on liability. for administrative offenses and outlining prospective directions for its improvement.

Methods. The article uses methods of abstraction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, as well as formal-logical, historical-legal and logical-legal methods of scientific research.

Results. The main provisions of the legislation of Ukraine on administrative offenses are analyzed. Its general problems, as well as shortcomings of specific administrative-delict norms, are highlighted. The need for solwing these problems in the course of reforming the domestic administrative-tort legislation was noted.

Conclusions. The main directions of the development of domestic legislation on administrative offenses are: codification of all norms on liability for administrative offenses into a single legislative act aimed at countering torts in the field of public administration; assigning procedural functions and powers exclusively to public administration bodies and courts; optimization of the system of administrative penalties and bringing them into line with modern socio-economic realities.
