Fulfillment as a form of law implementation in the context of modern technological development
ISSN online: 2617-9776 print: 0869-2491
Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of general aspects of the transformation of fulfillment as a form of law implementation in the context of modern technological development. The fulfillment of legal obligations has always been one of the central concepts of law development, the meaning of which is directly related to ensuring law and order in the state and the implementation of human rights. However, with the development of technologies, the methods and formats of fulfilling legal obligations have undergone a significant transformation, which to a certain extent affects the traditional understanding and perception of the content of this concept, which is already associated not only with the need for a certain subject to take active actions stipulated by the legal norm, but also with the specific parameters of their technological support, the availability and quality of which in many cases directly determines the achievement of the corresponding legally significant result (for example, the use of digital platforms to fulfill contractual obligations, automation of processes in the field of taxation, etc.).
The aim of the article. The purpose of this article is to identify general aspects of the transformation of the fulfillment of legal obligations as a form of law implementation in the context of modern technological innovations.
Results. Traditional approaches to the implementation of law, including the fulfillment of legal obligations or compliance with legal prohibitions, involve the subject of law performing specific actions or refraining from performing them within the limits defined by legal norms. At the same time, the fulfillment of legal obligations always manifests itself in the form of direct interaction between the participants in the relevant legal relationship. Such actions can be performed by the subject of law independently or through intermediaries (the institution of representation), as well as voluntarily or under compulsion.
When studying the issues of transforming the performance of legal obligations as a form of law implementation in the context of modern development, it should be noted that technological innovations primarily affect the process of fulfilling legal obligations by introducing new ways of fulfilling them, in particular, such as automating relevant processes, using digital platforms for submitting applications and other documents, registering transactions and interacting with public authorities, etc. The point is that the development of modern technologies opens up new opportunities for optimizing the processes of fulfilling legal obligations and improving the quality of their results, and digitalization and automation are increasingly acquiring the status of the most important tool for their fulfillment in modern legal systems, changing traditional methods of their implementation.
Modern digital platforms are increasingly used by individuals and legal entities to fulfill legal obligations in various spheres and industries of public life — from civil law obligations to taxation and other public law obligations, which greatly facilitates interaction with the authorities of the relevant states. Such digital tools ensure the proper remote fulfillment of legal obligations, and also provide the opportunity for citizens and legal entities to agree, sign and send relevant documents regardless of their physical location, which significantly reduces the time for concluding necessary transactions and improves the accessibility of legal services.
Conclusions. The fulfillment of legal obligations as a form of exercising law in the context of modern technological development is undergoing a significant transformation, which is manifested at the substantive and formal levels and involves the adaptation of traditional mechanisms for the active implementation of binding legal norms to the new context, in which technologies become not only an important tool for monitoring and controlling the proper fulfillment of legal obligations, but also a necessary means of ensuring their real or actual implementation through relevant technological and, above all, digital innovations. Modern technologies have a significant impact on the fulfillment of legal obligations, regardless of the type of legal relationship in which such obligations are a necessary element of their content, radically changing the ways of interaction between citizens, legal entities and public authorities. A direct manifestation of such an impact is, in particular, a significant expansion of the ways of fulfilling specific legal obligations and the automation of many procedures for their fulfillment, the introduction of electronic (digital) monitoring of the fulfillment of obligations, acceleration of the processes of identification and confirmation of the fulfillment of obligations, increasing the efficiency and transparency of the fulfillment of legal obligations, etc.
Keywords: legal obligations, implementation of law, forms of implementation of law, fulfillment of legal obligations, technological innovations, digitalization, artificial intelligence.
