Abstract

The legal content of national security is revealed in the law of national security and becomes a crucial area for the development of legal science in modern conditions of the armed aggression unleashed by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and crisis processes in the international security system. The purpose of this study was to determine the features of national security law as a branch of the national legal system and establish prospects for the development of this branch of law. This study employed a set of methods, which include dialectical, Aristotelian, historical-legal, comparative-analytical, sociological methods, as well as methods of structural analysis, legal modelling, and forecasting. National security law is considered an independent branch of law that demonstrates its public significance in the legal support of national security. National interests, as generally significant interests protected by law, form objects of national security law, are reflected in social communications, which, under the influence of national security law, acquire the features of legal strategic communications. At the same time, the integrative qualities of national security law are manifested in interaction with international security law and military law. National security law forms a system of legal support for national security. Priorities for the development of national security law are implemented in a complex of research, organisational and educational measures, which determines the introduction of the corresponding scientific speciality and educational specialisation. The practical value of the study was to cover the features of national security law as a value-normative system of statuses, rules of conduct, communications, which has public recognition and is legitimised to ensure safe conditions for human life, the existence and development of society and the state, and to justify the development of the subject area of national security law towards qualitative indicators of legal support of all components of the national security system, structuring its types, levels - from national to international, entering the legal system of collective international security based on international principles and standards that form such a security system

ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ОСНОВИ ТА ПРІОРИТЕТИ РОЗВИТКУ ПРАВА НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ.

Правовий зміст національної безпеки розкривається у праві національної безпеки та постає вкрай важливим напрямом розвитку правової науки в сучасних умовах розв'язаної РФ проти України збройної агресії та кризових процесів у системі міжнародної безпеки. Метою дослідження є визначення особливостей права національної безпеки як галузі національної системи права і встановлення перспектив розвитку цієї галузі права. Проведене дослідження здійснено з використанням комплексу методів, серед яких важливими є діалектичний, формально-логічний, історико-правовий, порівняльно-аналітичний, соціологічний методи, а також методи структурного аналізу, правового моделювання, прогнозування. Право національної безпеки розглядається самостійною галуззю права, що виявляє свою суспільну значущість у правовому забезпеченні національної безпеки. Національні інтереси, як загальнозначущі охоронювані правом інтереси утворюють об'єкти права національної безпеки, відображаються у соціальних комунікаціях, які під дією права національної безпеки набувають ознак правових стратегічних комунікацій. Водночас інтегративні якості права національної безпеки проявляються у взаємодії з правом міжнародної безпеки та військовим правом. Право національної безпеки утворює систему правового забезпечення національної безпеки. Пріоритети розвитку права національної безпеки реалізуються у комплексі науково-дослідних, організаційних та освітніх заходів, що обумовлює впровадження відповідної наукової спеціальності та освітньої спеціалізації. Практична цінність дослідження полягає у розкритті ознак права національної безпеки як ціннісно-нормативної системи статусів, правил поведінки, комунікацій, що має публічне визнання і легітимізована з метою забезпечення безпечних умов життєдіяльності людини, існування і розвитку суспільства й держави, та в обґрунтуванні розвитку предметної сфери права національної безпеки у напрямі якісних показників правового забезпечення усіх складових системи національної безпеки, структурування її видів, рівнів - від національного до міжнародного, входження у правову систему колективної міжнародної безпеки на основі міжнародних принципів і стандартів, які формують таку систему безпеки.

Introduction

In the modern world, all aspects of ensuring the safety of human life, the existence and development of society and the state are important, which is an essential feature of national security as a state of protection from potential and real threats and at the same time coordinated activities to achieve a social state where security values are of particular importance. The appeal to the axiological foundations of national security [1, p. 248-394] confirms the need to determine the legal content of national security, its international legal dimension, and the influence of the international legal system on the development of national security law. The international legal system contains the basic principles set out in international acts that bring each state closer to the requirements of law [2]. The global legal order and international security system are currently under threat of destruction due to the constant instability of the world. In the processes of solving many international and national problems, which lie in armed conflicts, mass violations of human rights and freedoms, guarantees of stability and order of the state are manifested precisely in law, and international and national security develop the social basis of national security law.

An important aspect in understanding the law of national security is the versatility of its action in strategic communications, where the state combines efforts with other social actors to achieve certain strategic goals and solve security problems. At the same time, applied issues of legal support for the security and defence sector remain relevant [3, p. 480-534], determining the status nature of the security and defence forces and the systemic legal influence on the exercise of their powers to ensure national security, the establishment of the rule of law [4] in the regulatory, institutional components and functional purpose of the security and defence sector. The law of national security demonstrates its specific features in the system of national law and identifies general patterns, having signs of an independent branch of law, which is confirmed by the corresponding legal regime [5, p.71]. Another urgent and no less critical issue that the national security law of Ukraine solves by its means and resources is ensuring safe conditions for human life, realising the human right to security as an absolute right and at the same time a subjective right in legal relations that exist in the field of national security.

In legal science, a wide scope of national security issues, in particular their philosophical aspects, are considered in the studies by V. Bachynin, V. Bielievtseva, O. Danilian, O. Dzoban, S. Maksymov, I. Tykhonenko. Ensuring national security by means and resources of constitutional law was investigated by V. Antonov. Information aspects of legal support of national security are covered in the studies by O. Baranov, K. Beliakov, O. Dovhan, O. Zolotar, T Tkachuk. Criminal law support of national security was investigated in the studies by V. Borysov, M. Karchevskyi, D. Mykhailenko, N. Savinova, O. Chuvakov, O. Sotula. Legal issues of military security have become the subject of scientific development by V. Kryvenko, S. Poltorak, and Ye. Streltsov. General theoretical aspects of the legal content of national security are reflected in the studies by P Westerman, A. Gromytsaris, S. Holovatyi, R. Dvorkin, L. Diuga, R. Yering, M. Koziubra, A. Kryzhanovskyi, Yu. Oborotov, N. Onishchenko, R. Paund, O. Petryshyn, P Rabinovych, S. Udartsev, K. Feddeler, G. Hart, Yu. Shemshuchenko, P. Shlah, O. Yushchik, O. Yarmysh. Special legal branch problems of national security law were developed by S. Daikus, D. Moore, V. Lipkan, H. Novytskyi, V. Raihorodskyi, S. Chapchikov.

However, the state of research on national security law indicates the need for theoretical generalisation of scientific developments, identification and coverage of branch features of national security law of Ukraine, its content characteristics and features of operation in modern conditions. The theoretical foundations of national security law determine a certain line of development of modern legal science - from understanding the doctrinal features of national security law to developing a system of industry knowledge and principles, determining the features of action in a globalised world, which is of applied importance for ensuring national security.

The purpose of this study was to cover the features of national security law as a branch of the national legal system and identify prospects for the development of this branch of law. The study solved the tasks concerning the establishment of the national security law as a systemic integrity, regarding topical issues of organising scientific research in the field of national security law, the development of an appropriate scientific speciality and academic discipline for training specialists for subjects of the security and defence sector, the application of national security law and its actions in the context of ensuring national, regional, and international security, achieving an effective level of legislative regulation of the activities of subjects of the security and defence sector in the context of European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine.

Materials and methods.

To achieve the purpose of this study, the authors used the empirical materials concerning public relations, social communications in the field of national security, legislation in the field of national security and defence of Ukraine, international legal acts, analytical and review materials, results of scientific developments of Ukrainian and foreign researchers. The research materials consistently cover the basics of national security, guide in determining priorities for countering threats, and focus on new qualities of state sovereignty as a central issue of ensuring national security, which is reflected in law. Social communications in the sphere of national security determine the need for legal influence, the need to apply legal means in accordance with the purpose of such social communications, which leads to the development of an appropriate legal regime of national security and determines the ontological features of national security law.

At the same time, the epistemological justification of the methodology for studying national security law make provision for the definition of appropriate scientific approaches. For this purpose, the study used a considerable methodological potential of an interdisciplinary scientific approach, as well as philosophical views, political, sociological, and legal knowledge about law and the state, as well as their interaction. To cover the legal content and legal form of national security as a systemic integrity, the features of industry and applied scientific developments were used. The features of national security law were studied using systematic and institutional-functional approaches. The scientific development of the law of national security as integrity is carried out based on the possibilities of a comprehensive approach, which is focused on the integrity of the national security system. The axiological features of national security law were determined using an axiological approach, provided that there is a value-normative legal understanding and the development of an appropriate epistemological research platform. Non-linear features of national security law as a non-linear system were studied using a synergistic approach and the rhizome paradigm; this approach allowed covering the features of self-organisation of the national security law system, which manifests itself in the interaction of law, the state and civil society under the indispensable condition of recognising and ensuring human subjectivity.

The study employed dialectical, Aristotelian, historical legal, comparative-analytical, sociological methods, as well as methods of structural analysis, legal modelling, forecasting, etc. In particular, the dialectical method contributed to solving the issue of conceptualising the law of national security, defining its principles and functions based on objectivity, interrelation, and interaction with other components of the national legal system and with international law. The historical legal method was used to investigate the establishment issue of the theory of national security law and its further development, to determine the problems of scientific reflection of the legal content of national security and their solution by modern legal science. The Aristotelian method allowed identifying the features of national security law, its content properties, and the terminology inherent in this branch of law. The comparative legal method was used to establish the unity and interaction of national security law and military law, national security law and international security law. The method of structural analysis was used to highlight the regularities and features of the structure of national security law, determine its network nature, horizontal interaction in the context of types of national security that develop the unity and integrity of national security law. Sociological and statistical methods were applied both independently and in interaction with the dialectical method to evaluate the importance of national interests as objects of national security law. The method of legal modelling was used for a variable assessment of scenarios for the development of intra-industry formations of national security law, its operation under special regimes, the use of tools and resources of international security law to solve problems of overcoming potential and real threats to national security. The forecasting method was used to determine the prospects for the development of national security law and its operation in modern conditions of global transformations, institutional impact on the national legal system in the processes of legal acculturation, the effectiveness and necessity of legal reception, the consequences of such processes to ensure legal security.

Results and discussion

Establishment of the concept of national security law

The concept of national security law of Ukraine goes through a rather complex path of establishment and development in the context of the shaping of paradigms of modern law and the state, considering the achievements of philosophical, historical, sociological, political, and other branches of science and lies in the scientific development of the entire complex palette of theoretical and applied aspects of this complex issue for legal science by branch legal sciences, which allows reaching the conceptual level of its solution [5, p. 11-29].

The establishment of the concept of national security law takes place in the context of statutory and institutional definition of activities to ensure national security and protect national interests [5, p. 326-327]. Legal science based on a world-view understanding of national security and its essential-content features focuses on the development of research areas necessary for the practice of ensuring national security, which relate to the constitutional and legal nature of national security [3], administration in the field of national security [6], criminal law problems of ensuring national security [7], features of ensuring national security in the information sphere [8] and in other areas of national security, in particular military security [9]. security law military international

Conceptualisation of the law of national security of Ukraine lies in awareness of the empirical basis of national security with its subsequent ontological interpretation in the legal dimension based on appropriate methodological foundations to develop an appropriate concept. The empirical basis of national security law is the totality of all factors that ensure the security of a person, society, and the state, namely public relations, social communications in the field of national security, constitutional provisions and rules of legislation on the legal status of subjects of the security and defence sector and the organisation of activities in the field of national security, international relations in the international security system [5, p. 30]. The development of national security law is focused on the application of a certain model of national security, considering the specific features of the national legal system, as well as economic, political, cultural, military, information, anthropogenic, and other features of society. At the same time, the model of national security and national security law of the United States deserves attention [10], using the relevant standards of the EU and NATO Member States.

The concept of national security law of Ukraine is based on a security culture, which in the legal sense is considered as a legal strategic culture that serves as the basis for legal strategic thinking, in particular, awareness of the essential features of national security, its purpose and appropriate governance decision-making [11]. Legal strategic culture and legal strategic thinking are described as competent and professional, must meet the requirements of activities in the field of national security. At the same time, the right of national security consolidates the activities of the state, civil society, and citizens to ensure national security and operates in all social areas related to ensuring national security. However, the most important for its subject area are safe conditions of human life, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the constitutional order of the state [12].

The development of national security law in Ukraine is influenced by the international legal system and international security law. The fundamental principles of international law - non-use of force or threat of force; peaceful resolution of international disputes; non-interference; cooperation; equality and self-determination of peoples; sovereign equality of states; conscientious performance of obligations under international law; territorial integrity; respect for human rights; inviolability of borders - define the principles of national security and exercise organisational influence on the national security law. In the context of the international security system crisis, the national security law finds its development in the coordination of regulatory provisions and institutional activities with international law [13], confirms its social value as a regulator of public relations, strategic communications to protect national interests in the context of performing the international obligations of the state, ensuring the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

The national security law forms the legal content and legal form of national security and asserts the integrity of national security in all its varieties, sets the legal standardisation and general binding nature of social requirements and regulations on national security issues, defines and ensures the protection of national interests. The national security law identifies the most stable meaningful connection with the legal order [14], which is essentially combined with the state of national security. Consequently, the right of national security is dependent on the legal order and affects the legal order due to the development of legal infrastructure and legal support for the protection of national interests.

The concept of national security law of Ukraine has its axiological basis, which contains a considerable number of interests and values that are important for society and a person, the achievement of which brings social existence to a level accessible to meet individual and group needs conditioned by the need for sustainable development. The axiology of national security [1, p. 250-304] looks multifaceted, passes from one quality of human and social existence to another, combines values of spiritual and material origin, is covered in the aspect from individual features to general, demonstrating its presence in the centre of the value reality of a person and their needs.

The legal regime of national security law identifies special features, contains a subject (public relations and social communications between subjects in the field of national security), a method that constitutes a set of imperative techniques and means of legal influence (legal regulation) on certain public relations and social communications, as well as the purpose of ensuring national security, which is specified depending on the sphere and safe living conditions of a person, society, and the state [5, p. 93-94]. The legal regime of national security is described by rather strict rules for governing public relations, which provides a mandatory method of legal regulation. Such a legal regime may acquire special features of a state of emergency or martial law, which, in particular, describes its exclusive public-legal nature, focused on the protection of generally significant interests.

Based on the subject and purpose of legal regulation (legal impact), national security law consolidates the corresponding regulatory requirements of constitutional law, administrative, criminal, information, environmental, and other branches of law related to the legal support of national security, reaching the level of consistency that allows effectively and successfully ensuring the operation of law in the field of national security. The origins of national security law are contained in constitutional law, and the most stable are the links of national security law with military law, where the commonality of objects and subjects, the unity of the legal regime for ensuring military security, protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity make it necessary to combine scientific developments and law enforcement practice [15].

Definition and coverage of the features of national security law in the system of law becomes possible based on value-normative legal understanding [16], thanks to which it turns out that the state is dependent on law and ensures its operation using appropriate mechanisms, the legitimacy of which is obtained in law as in the value-normative system. For its part, legal standardisation demonstrates the general obligation of legal prescriptions provided with the possibility of legitimate coercion, which gives grounds for the operation or the validity of law. Important for substantiating the concept of national security law is a sociological approach that asserts the activity-based foundations of law [17]. The need characteristics of the law cover the issue of interests that find their implementation in the national security law as national interests [18]. At the same time, the communicative theory of law [19] allows substantiating the influence of social and strategic communications on the development of the national security law.

National security law has clear features of a nonlinear system, which is manifested in its interaction with related branches of the national legal system and international law. The development of national security law in the system of national law occurs because of linear and non-linear processes, where the main standards do not have pre-programmed forms and content and are stated proceeding from the general need for the development of legal provisions in particular social communications. But social and moral- ethical, value standards are reflected in thejoint interaction of social subjects, when consciousness perceives and reflects these standards precisely as legal provisions and generally binding rules of conduct [20].

Signs of national security law as a value-normative system

The concept of national security law of Ukraine is based on the general features of law as a social phenomenon, covering its social, value-normative, need-based, communicative, and other features, and at the same time focuses on the features of the subject security sphere [21]. Such approach allows identifying the national security law as a branch of law, a value-normative system of generally recognised and publicly defined statuses, rules of conduct and communications in the national legal system aimed at ensuring safe conditions for human life, the existence and development of society and the state.

The subjects of national security law of Ukraine are the state, society, and the individual. These subjects are societally individualised and specified in accordance with the specific features of communications in the field of national security. The law of national security recognises a person as the most important subject of law [22], the subjectivity of which is justified by the legal nature and directly depends on the possibilities of ensuring national security. The most important right of human existence - the right to life - actually proclaims the main idea of national security in its anthropological meaning and orients the corresponding activities of the state.

The right of national security of Ukraine has its objects - certain material and non-material benefits, which include national interests, achievements, needs and values of a person, society, and the state in the field of national security - from state and military to economic, information, anthropogenic security, etc. In the law of national security, its objects - national interests [23] - acquire general significance for society, individual and collective subjects, since they are law-oriented, protected by law or secured by law and are public, legally protected interests.

The unity of objects of national security law is based on a common goal, which is national security. The specification of objects in certain types of national security confirms its integrity, which determines the actual integrity of national security law. Objects of national security law exist as corresponding to the systemic multiplicity of national interests - vital interests of a person, society, and the state, the implementation of which ensures safe living conditions and the well-being of citizens, the sovereign existence of the state and society, and the democratic development of the state organisation of society. The main objects of the right of national security are a person's life in the social space, their physical existence and well-being. In these circumstances, the human-centrism of law is confirmed and revealed in the law of national security. Other important national interests, in particular the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state, relate to the spatial conditions of human and social life, which is reflected in the law of national security.

The national security law of Ukraine as an independent branch of law is based on the corresponding principles. The principles of national security law consider the fundamental, initial ideas and provisions that determine the essence and content of the influence of law on ensuring national security. The basic principles of national security law should include the rule of law; legality; protection and guarantee of human rights and freedoms; priority of protecting national interests that are generally important for society and the state; compliance of branch provisions and regulations with the requirements of international law and international treaties to which the state is a party.

The functions of national security law of Ukraine specify the functions of national law [24] in its interaction with international law in the field of national security and cover all areas of ensuring national security and protecting national interests. Consequently, the functions of national security law are regulatory, security, information, preventive, predictive, as well as the function of legal support of national security. Considering scientific opinions regarding the pragmatic nature of the paradigm of legal functions and their relevance for influencing public relations, the allocation of other functions of national security law is not excluded [5, p. 79-92].

The function of legal support of national security is of particular importance in modern conditions. At the same time, legal security remains relevant for the national legal system, which should be developed through the use of a legal regime containing resources, methods, and means of influencing all components of the national legal system based on the rule of law to ensure their compliance with national culture, traditions, national identity, national needs, property, and interests. National security law as a nonlinear system reflects the content of this branch of law in its structure. The structure of national security law is developed as a result of the specification of the legal regime, where the subject - public relations and social communications in the field of national security - is a determinant, and the purpose of legal influence on such public relations and social communications is specified.

In such circumstances, the structuring of national security law reflects its specialisation and occurs in a horizontal combination, in the interaction of institutional regulatory communities focused on static branch features - system groups of legal provisions, as well as on its dynamic features - statuses and legal communications developed as a result of the action of such groups of legal provisions [5, p. 333-334]. The structure of national security law of Ukraine is a certain network of regulatory and institutional entities oriented horizontally in the national system of law, interdependent and connected by functional links to the legal support of the relevant type of national security, including international law.

The law of national security unites such (but not exclusively) inter-branch system formations: the law of information security law, the of national security law, the environmental and anthropogenic security law, the economic security law, the military security law, etc. The structure of national security law is dynamic, and the interaction of intra-industry entities is subject to constant changes in accordance with the specifics, status basis and social communications in the field of national security.

The law of national security of Ukraine reveals its essential and content features in the system of strategic communications [25], which are of particular importance in the field of national security and defence in the context of Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration. Strategic communications ensure cooperation between state institutions, society, and citizens in solving security issues and have a corresponding legal content. The application of national security law in the resolution of social conflicts allows coordinating and synchronising the actions of security and defence sector actors, in particular, in the manner of legal and necessary coercion to protect security in the interests of reaching a general compromise. As a result of the operation of national security law, strategic communications in the field of national security acquire the features of legal strategic communications.

Strategic communications in the field of national security are carried out considering national interests, and the national security law aligns the interests of individuals and individual social entities with national interests. That is why the national security law effectively affects bringing group interests in line with national interests, and in the case of a socially recognised and statutorily supported need to develop corporate interests, the national security law brings them to a level that ensures national security [5, p. 336-338]. At the same time, the national security law of Ukraine primarily ensures the subjectivity of a person in the sphere of national security and develops a legal barrier to the implementation of possible threats to their life. Subjective rights, freedoms, legitimate interests and legal obligations, as indispensable signs of human subjectivity, in this case are directly dependent on the solution of security issues and at the same time are determined by the level of safety of human life and the state of protection of national interests.

Among the basic human rights in the context of ensuring the right of national security of its subjectivity is the right to security [26], which has the features of an absolute right, but in particular legal relations in the field of national security it is a subjective right. The right to security in the concept of human subjectivity has an axiomatic meaning as the initial formula of human-centrism of legal reality. Therewith, the human right to security forms the corresponding institution of national security law. Normative-value prescriptions of national security law are implemented in social practice by the state and society as active subjects of national security law.

The subjectivity of the state in legal relations and strategic communications is stipulated in the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and specified in the legislation defining the tasks, functions, and powers of state institutions in the field of ensuring national security. Such institutions form the security and defence sector of the state, have a legal status defined by law and act in accordance with it within their competence. The subjectivity of society in legal relations and strategic communications in the field of national security is exercised through certain institutions of civil society. These institutions, in accordance with the legislation and their statutory provisions, exercise democratic civilian control over the security and defence sector, can take part in strategic communications, conduct analytical, predictive, and other activities to solve systemic national security issues.

Development of national security law of Ukraine

In the modern conditions of globalisation of the world order, the national security system also becomes the basis for the legal security of society and the state, which lies in introducing the rule of law in the national legal system and developing the rule of law. In these circumstances, the purpose of national security law is updated towards ensuring legal security, that is, the protection of the national legal system from negative factors of regulatory and institutional origin, which objectively accompany global changes in the world order [5, p. 249-251]. At the same time, the national security law receives qualitatively new features, developing a system of legal support for national security. In this system, the law of national security forms the regulatory, and determines the institutional and organisational components [5, p. 252-285].

The regulatory framework of the system of legal support for national security comprises the corresponding constitutional provisions, national legislation, and provisions of international law. Its institutional component makes provision for the activities of special services and law enforcement agencies, prosecutor's offices and justice bodies, and other subjects of the security and defence sector. For the organisational component of the system of legal support of national security, the system of training specialists for subjects of the security and defence sector, the development of a competent legal culture [27] and a conscious attitude of citizens towards national security as a vital basis for the existence of society and the state are relevant.

The development of national security law is topical in the context of a hybrid war [28], which has been waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine for a long time. At present, the actions of hybrid warfare have gone beyond the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict, and a number of states of the world have actually become participants in this confrontation using information, economic, energy, military, and other components, which certainly increases the importance of national security law.

Violations of the provisions and principles of international law by the Russian Federation in the creation of the so-called «security belt of the Russian Federation» («managed conflict zones») on the territory of former Soviet Union republics that have embarked on the path of development of sovereign states require a suitable legal assessment to protect the national interests of such states. Notably, since the end of the 20th century, with the direct participation or support of the Russian Federation, longterm military and political conflicts began on the territory of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Tajikistan, and now - in Ukraine. There were also attempts by the Russian Federation to interfere in the internal affairs of the Baltic States, which managed to protect their peoples by gaining membership in the EU and NATO. In this context, scenarios for the development of events in the post-Soviet space deserve attention, which area addressed by Ukrainian researchers - specialists of the National Institute for Strategic Studies [29, p. 185-195], in particular:

1) «chaos scenario» - the emergence of a continuous conflict zone in the former Soviet Union;

2) «imperial scenario» - the creation of a regional postSoviet empire with the possible repetition of well-known negative historical consequences;

3) «split scenario» - the emergence of the Eastern European democratic and Eurasian imperial segments in the post-Soviet space.

Active attempts to implement the second scenario began 20-25 years ago. However, the events of the last 10-15 years indicate a steady trend towards the development of the Eastern European democratic space, which in the process of «hybrid confrontation» and as a result of such a process, can spread to the entire post-Soviet space. The development of the Eastern European democratic space can also be facilitated by the de facto unification of the Member States of the European Union, NATO, and other states of the world to jointly recognise the gross violations of the fundamental principles of international security and the provisions of international law by the Russian Federation.

With adoption in 2018 of the Law of Ukraine «On National Security of Ukraine» Law of Ukraine No. 2469-VIII “On National Security of Ukraine”. (2018, June).

Conclusions

Consideration of the theoretical foundations and priority areas for the development of national security law allows drawing the following main conclusions and proposals. National security law forms an independent branch in the national legal system that governs public relations in the field of national security of Ukraine. Its regularities and features, essential and content characteristics, features, principles, and functions create a system of knowledge about national security law. The national security law defines the objects of protection - national interests and the system of subjects of the security and defence sector. The applied significance of national security law lies in the development of a system of legal support for national security, which includes regulatory, institutional, and organisational components. The national security law is also the basis for the development of appropriate strategic thinking and legal culture, as indispensable organisational components of the system of legal support for national security.

The law of national security, along with military law and international security law, in the conditions of hybrid war and international armed conflict, global transformations and crisis processes in the system of international security, performs relevant tasks of legal support for the security of a person and citizen, society and state and international law and order at the national, regional (subregional), and international levels and is a vital area for the development of legal science. The national security law in Ukraine is established and developed considering the introduced model of national security, the features of the legal system and the system of state government, national historical and cultural values, as well as political, informational, economic, military, and other factors. At the same time, the national security model and national security law of the United States and the corresponding standards of the EU and NATO Member States deserve attention.
