Abstract

An attempt to reveal the essence of administrative responsibility as one of the means of administrative and legal protection of the population from infectious diseases and to investigate the practice of prosecute to administrative responsibility persons who committed administrative violations of the rules on quarantine of people is carried out in the presented scientific article. It is determined that in the present days, the mechanism of prosecute to administrative responsibility as a means of administrative and legal protection of the population from infectious diseases requires proper legislative regulation, since the lack of clear wording, abstract, and in some cases – the sended off content of the disposition of certain legislation norms provides grounds for making ambiguous court decisions when considering cases on prosecute to administrative responsibility for violation of the rules regarding people's quarantine. Emphasis is placed on the opposite content of the resolutionary part of the court decisions that were made before and during the declaration of martial law in the consideration of cases on administrative violations of the rules for quarantine of people. It is proved on the basis of analyzed examples of judicial practice that in today's Ukraine there is no identical legal approach to bringing to administrative responsibility in deciding cases on administrative violations of the rules on quarantine of people. The author's definition of the term "administrative liability for violation of legislation in the sphere of protection of the population from infectious diseases" is proposed, the expediency of its legislative consolidation is justified, special features of administrative responsibility for violation of legislation in this sphere are distinguished. Based on the analysis of the content of administrative procedural legislation and court decisions, the expediency and necessity of amendments to Article 44³ of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses are substantiated, as well as the addition of it with the new Article 444 «Violation of the rules and conditions of self-isolation and forced isolation».
