System of entities for countering corruption and the specific features of their administrative and legal status
Abstract
The article emphasises that combating corruption is the basis for the harmonious development of society. It has been noted that, like most multifaceted problems that are significantly related to the transformation of society, it is extremely difficult to give a single and comprehensive definition of corruption.
It has been determined that corruption as a consequence of social anomalies requires the functioning of specially authorised institutions designed to reduce its impact on society and further state formation. At the same time, the complexity of this process lies in the fact that such institutions (state authorities, civil society institutions) are formed in a specific cultural, socio-economic context, which is characterised by corruption manifestations rooted in practices formed over decades, as well as centuries-old traditions of hospitality.
It has been established that the system of anti-corruption entities is a holistic set of specially authorized public authorities, civil society institutions, and individual officials who are empowered to prevent, detect, and stop corruption; in their daily activities, they implement measures, initiatives, and projects aimed at forming zero tolerance for corruption among the population and increasing the integrity of public servants; create and support special information (digital) support for the anti-corruption process, in particular in terms of uninterrupted access to relevant registers and software applications, as well as their monitoring and improvement; actively cooperate with each other during the exchange of information and joint operations; interact with international organizations, foreign experts in the process of adopting leading experience, professional training of employees, etc.
