PECULIARITIES OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES

Abstract

Local self-government denotes the right and the ability of local authorities, within the limits of the law, to regulate and manage a substantial share of public affairs under their own responsibility and in the interests of the local population. In the scientific article, approaches to understanding the concept of “territorial community”, Ukrainian legal acts determining the legal status of territorial communities are analysed. Local authorities, acting within the limits of the law, are able to regulate and manage public affairs under their own responsibility in the interests of the local population. Public responsibilities should be exercised preferably by authorities closest to citizens. Without prejudice to more general statutory provisions, local authorities shall be able to determine their own internal administrative structures in order to adapt them to local needs and ensure effective management. Local authorities shall be entitled, in exercising their powers, to cooperate and, within the framework of the law, to form consortia with other local authorities in order to carry out tasks of common interest. In the work, a conclusion is made that at the legislative level, the right of a territorial community in Ukraine is not enshrined in the status of a legal entity, and therefore there is no reason to consider it the legal person of public law.
