The effectiveness of justice as a component of the constitutional right to judicial protection of local self-government

Abstract

The Ukrainian state, like any state that seeks to assert itself in the international arena and ensure the proper standard of living of the population, has throughout its existence paid and currently pays a lot of attention to the administration of justice. The very state of the administration of justice is an indicator of the state's interest in observing the rights and freedoms of a person, which in turn is the basis for recognizing such a state as a legal state, i.e. one where the laws that establish the basic rights of a person and the responsibility for their noncompliance both for another person and for the state as a whole. The existence of a legal state is impossible without the effective functioning of all institutions of civil society in it, in particular, local self-government, therefore, a special place among the issues of the administration of justice is occupied by the issue of justice within the limits of the protection of the rights of local selfgovernment, in connection with which the topic of the mentioned study is extremely relevant. The goal of this study is to determine the state of the effectiveness of justice in protecting the rights of local self-government in Ukraine. The authors used dialectical, formal-legal, axiological, logical-legal, hermeneutic methods, as well as the method of content analysis, generalization, modeling, comparison, analogy. The results of the study showed that there are deficiencies in the administration of justice within the framework of the protection of the rights of local selfgovernment. These shortcomings include the politicization of the judiciary, the lack of competence of judges, the complexity of the judicial process and the lack of transparency of the judicial process.
