Implementation of legal norms as a means of ensuring the functioning of legal regimes established by the state

ISSN online: 2617-9776 print: 0869-2491

The conceptual foundations of the essence and content of the implementation of legal norms are defined and it is emphasized that this form of implementation of legal norms occupies an independent and fundamentally important place among the forms of implementation of normative prescriptions into the real behavior of subjects within the framework of the functioning of legal regimes established by the state, after all, it is thanks to the fulfillment of legal duties that the transition from the normative model of proper behavior to its actual implementation is ensured, which allows achieving the goals of legal regulation and legal influence in general. 

The implementation of legal norms as a form of their implementation is an active, necessary and mandatory behavior of the subject, determined by imperative legal norms, refraining from which entails the occurrence of legal responsibility and at the same time leads to a violation of the functional integrity of the existing legal regime, a decrease in its potential capabilities regarding regulation and protection of social relations. 

The legal obligation and obligations are distinguished, which allows to clearly outline the limits of voluntary implementation of the obligation and the moment of transition to state enforcement of its fulfillment. It is emphasized that the implementation of legal norms involves not only the actions of the obliged subject, but also the presence of an extensive mechanism of legal support, appropriate economic, organizational and financial conditions.

That is why the implementation of legal norms is one of the key tools of the mechanism of legal regulation and a necessary condition for the effective functioning of legal regimes, which ensures the real effectiveness of law, the stability of law and order and the effectiveness of state activity. Due to the proper performance of legal duties, the right ceases to be declarative and acquires the ability to influence social relations, form legal consciousness and culture, as well as ensure the balance of private, public and state interests.

Keywords: implementation of law, implementation of legal norms, legal regime, legal regulation, legal obligation, human rights.
