Problem questions of responsibility of state authority

 

For Ukrainian society evident is a noticeable shortage of responsibility of public organs and public officers for the purposeful, proper and timely realization by them imperious plenary powers. Such situation negatively affects not only capability of the state but also on her perception by wide public and predetermines the necessity of deep research of responsibility phenomenon . Therefore questions of this lecture are actual and timely not only from the theoretical point of view but also from practical application.

The purpose of legal, political and social sciences is to research of aspects of perfection of legitimate mechanisms which will allow to send political activity of subjects of state authority in a structural river-bed and limit destructive practice in the system of modern political relations. Attaining this is possible combining two factors. First is establishment of the real sovereignty of people of Ukraine the second foresees creation of legal facilities and establishment of measure of influence from the side of institutes of civil society on the subjects of state authority in the case of violation by them political norms, failure to observe of the undertaken political obligations. This lecture is dedicated to the research of the last aspect.

In the ontological understanding political and legal responsibility shows by itself the special type of social responsibility which consists in legitimate application of political and legal approvals to the subjects of policy,  comes for violation by them political norms, undertaken political obligations. The modern Ukrainian scientists complemented classic definition in such way: "Variety of social responsibility which arises up in the process of activity of different subjects in connection with organization realization and development of state authoruty, and also at development and realization in life of policy which represents progressive directions and purpose of development of society" [1, C.17]

An irrefutable paradigm is a dogma that a presence of mechanism of responsibility of state authority  is the attribute of democratic policy. However, even in east despotisms there was political responsibility as responsibility before a dynasty, dominating layers, ruling groupings, by coming generations etc. In this relation К. Popper justly noticed: "Not a single political authority never was out-of-control, and, while people will remain humane.. there can not be absolute and unlimited political power" [2, С. 141]. In every country the mechanism of providing of political responsibility is formed under determinantinfluence of national specific.

Thus, development of generating theory of responsibility of state authority is the issue of the day of legal science. A theoretical comprehension and real embodiment of mechanism of responsibility is the factor of construction of optimal co-operation of the state and civil society, by basis of forming of trust to power and implementation the population of will of imperious organs.
