Description
Summary:Law enforcement agencies are a separate type of public authorities whose main task is to protect and defend the rights and freedoms of citizens through the implementation of preventive, criminal procedural, administrative and jurisdictional, and operational and investigative functions. The list of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine includes: The Security Service of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine, the National Anti- Corruption Bureau; the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the Military Law Enforcement Service, the National Guard of Ukraine, the State Penitentiary Service; the State Forest Resources Agency of Ukraine, the State Fisheries Agency, etc. It is proved that it is inexpedient to include into law enforcement agencies the state bodies which have control and supervisory or service functions, or which enforce court decisions or carry out professional activities in the human rights sphere (lawyers, the Human Rights Ombudsman, etc.). In order to unify legislative and scientific approaches to determine the characteristics and list of law enforcement agencies, it is concluded that it is necessary to adopt a separate Law of Ukraine "On Law Enforcement Agencies", as well as to make further amendments to the normative acts regulating the legal status of the relevant state bodies.
