Legal inconsistencies and contradictions of information activity – one of the threats to national security of Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes the content of the main normative legal acts regulating the issues of information activities and security in Ukraine, identifies the content elements of their correlation, inconsistencies and contradictions, and also elaborates scientifically substantiated ways to eliminate the latter in the context of the content of the provisions of national security.

It has been established that in today's conditions, when adopting laws and other normative legal sources on the designated issues, the subjects of rule-making activity not only violate the principle of the rule of law, as defined in Art. 8 of the Constitution of Ukraine, but also its other norms concerning information security as an object of legal protection, which, in turn, gives rise to complaints from citizens to various judicial and state bodies, as well as to non-observance of fundamental rights and legal human rights, which are generally recognized in the international law and is subject to protection in the European Court of Human Rights.

It has also been proven that such a provision on information security not only undermines the authority of our state in the international arena, but also acts as one of the threats to the national security of Ukraine.
