Responsibility of State in the Context of Securing State Interests: Some Theoretical Issues

The article is dedicated to research of the issues of the responsibility of state in the context of securing the state’s interests. The nature of the concept of the responsibility of state in the modern legal system of Ukraine as well as the specifics of functioning of this concept in connection with the state’s activities aimed at securing its interests are addressed. The responsibility of state is an integral aspect of the modern democratic, rule-of-law based state and is purported to prevent the state authorities from arbitrary or unjustified actions. The article highlights theoretical notions and analyzes examples from the domestic and international legal practice related to interrelation between the concept of the responsibility of state and the applying of legal measures aimed at securing the state interests by the state. The findings related to characteristics and the role of the concept of the responsibility of state in the framework of securing the state interests are proposed. The concept of the responsibility of state derives from and is closely linked to the state’s obligation to secure protection of the state interests incumbent on the state authorities and should therefore operate to induce the state machinery to comply with the said obligation. The state responsibility concept is interrelated with the legal mechanism employed by the state to protect its interest and contributes inter alia to improvement of such mechanism and bringing it to conformity with the objective needs of the society. Further, the concept of the state responsibility is purported to encourage the state authorities to correctly identify the state interest and the underlying public needs requiring the protection by the state’s measures.

Key words: the state, the state interests, the state power, the responsibility of state, the responsibility concept.
