SYSTEM AGAINST CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE: PROBLEMS OF INTERACTION OF SUBJECTS

Abstract

The article reveals problems of interaction of subjects in the system of combating corruption in Ukraine. The current legislation in the field of combating corruption is investigated and the main problems of combating this phenomenon in Ukraine are revealed. The author analyzed the institutional framework in the field of combating corruption, identified the main functions of the subjects of the anticorruption system in Ukraine, and analyzed the problems of interaction between the subjects of the system. The author also managed to distinguish the preventive function of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and the prospects of this body. It was clarified that Ukraine has undertaken a number of commitments on the way to the fastest possible integration into the European Community, the most priority of which is an effective, uncompromising and continuous struggle against corruption, which challenges the comprehensive development of all spheres of life in our country. To this end, a number of institutions have been created that are leading the fight against this phenomenon. Thus, in the structure of the Prosecutor General’s Office a separate anti-corruption body was established — the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and separately — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, which are the security forces and are investigating and punishing the perpetrators of corrupt acts. However, there is another agency that plays a leading role in the anti-corruption struggle in Ukraine — the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, which implements a preventive function whose activities include preventing and detecting corruption, declaring income and expenses, identifying a conflict of interest, as well as counteracting political corruption. It is proved that all efforts in the fight against corruption in Ukraine should be carried out with the understanding that the center of its consequences is an average citizen. Therefore, effective public policy in this area is one of the main factors of the state authorities’ concern for citizens. After the Dvor Revolution, the fight against corruption has started to work in a new way and is the most priority in the direction of Ukraine’s European integration. This is evidenced by the adoption of a number of anti-corruption laws and the creation of institutions for the prevention and fight against corruption.
