Анотація

The purpose of the article is to reveal the defining areas for the implementation of public control over the anti-corruption activities of State authorities with the formulation of anticorruption strategic ways of their implementation. Results. The article reveals modern forms of public influence on combatting corruption manifestations and elucidates the practice of public control actors concerned over the activity of State authorities. The analysis of the Draft Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2021-2025 allows establishing a place of the public in making the State anti-corruption policy and its participation in implementing public control in this field. The weaknesses of the Anti-Corruption Strategy are highlighted, and ways of their solution are proposed. Anti-corruption principles are defined to be reflected in the Draft Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2021-2025, which will contribute to strengthening the role of the public in combating corruption and reducing the manifestations of corruption risks in the activities of public officials and employees of public authorities. The specific anti-corruption principles are provided with justification of their legal consolidation. The focus of the study is on the need to strengthen the anti-corruption education of the population of Ukraine, which plays an important role in the formation of a sense of intolerance towards corruption and its manifestations among all segments of the population, mastering the level of legal liability for corruption offences. Conclusions. Since currently no strategic regulatory document aimed at making the State anti-corruption policy with a clear structure of measures to counter this phenomenon, at planning appropriate ways of combatting by the special anti-corruption bodies and at identifying ways of strengthening the role of the public in this, is in force, the adoption of the Anti-Corruption Strategy for the coming years is an urgent step to be taken by the State. Reflecting the fundamental anti-corruption measures in the legal field at the national level, the State should adhere to the main trends of the United Nations Convention against Corruption to take appropriate measures, within its capacities and in accordance with the fundamental principles of its domestic law, to facilitate the active participation of individuals and groups outside the public sector, such as civil society, non-governmental organisations and community-based organisations, to prevent and combat corruption and to raise public awareness of the existence, causes and dangers of corruption, as well as the threats it poses.
