Нормативно-правові засади обігу конфіденційної інформації в Україні

Abstract

Досліджено нормативно-правове регулювання обігу конфіденційної інформації в Україні. За результатами дослідження запропоновано внесення змін до основних законодавчих актів, що регулюють суспільні відносини в інформаційній сфері. Також запропоновано розробити нормативно-правові акти щодо обігу конфіденційної інформації за окремими напрямами (галузями) суспільної діяльності з урахуванням вимог законів (кодексів), у яких передбачено надання певним інформаційним ресурсам статусу конфіденційної інформації. In modern Ukrainian legislation, there is a problem of legal regulation of the circulation of information resources, to which the state applies a special regime of restrictions. The most problematic is the legal regulation of the circulation of confdential information resources. This article is devoted to the solution of the specifed problem. Based on the analysis of the results of previous research in this area, it is established that at the legal level there are no criteria on the basis of which there is a clear classifcation of information resources, in particular resources to which the state may impose a certain regime of restrictions. In addition, different pieces of legislation do not provide identical defnitions of «confdential information» as one of the types of information with limited access. This creates conditions for the search for debatable provisions and the possibility of their ambiguous interpretation or practical application. In this regard, a number of codes and laws of Ukraine enshrine provisions on the basis of which certain information resources are classifed as confdential information. Based on the results of this analysis, the authors of the article suggest: – bring the defnition of «confdential information» to a single wording in all legislation; – amend the Law of Ukraine «On Information», supplementing Part 2 of Art. 21 «Information with limited access» in the words «except in cases aimed at the realization of human and civil rights and freedoms» and state it as follows: «Confdential is information about an individual, as well as information to which access is restricted by a natural or legal person, except subjects of power, except in cases aimed at the realization of human and civil rights and freedoms»; – create lists of information, which will establish the procedure for assigning certain information resources to confdential information for a particular feld of activity (Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, National Police, Security Service of Ukraine, etc.), taking into account the provisions of a number of regulations of Ukraine.
