INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF INFORMATION SUPPORT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the international legal principles of information support of law enforcement activities in Ukraine in the context of the digital transformation of public administration and the growth of transnational security threats. The emphasis is on the fact that the active implementation of electronic information systems and the development of Internet technologies significantly increase the efficiency of law enforcement agencies, while at the same time causing the emergence of new forms of crime, in particular cybercrimes, cross-border financial offenses, the use of information resources in terrorist and extremist activities. The role of information support as a key element of management in law enforcement agencies and its importance for the implementation of strategic tasks of reforming the security and defense sector of Ukraine, focused on ensuring human security, respecting rights and freedoms, and increasing trust in state institutions, is analyzed. It is substantiated that effective counteraction to modern threats requires not only the improvement of national information mechanisms, but also active international interaction in the field of information exchange, processing and protection. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of international experience in the legal regulation of information relations, in particular, the regulatory legal acts of the European Union in the field of personal data protection, telecommunications and electronic exchange of information between public administrations. The evolution of legal regulation from the European Union directives to the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which established enhanced guarantees of the rights of personal data subjects, the principles of confidentiality and liability for their violation, is revealed. The significance of the Council of Europe Convention as a universal international legal instrument for the harmonization of legislation in the field of personal data protection is separately analyzed. It is concluded that the adaptation of international and European standards for information support for law enforcement activities is a necessary condition for the further digital transformation of Ukraine, increasing the efficiency of law enforcement activities and integrating the national legal system into the European legal and information space.
