Abstract

The article is devoted to the content and concepts of democratic civilian control and non-government control in the sphere of national security. The process of the emergence of democratic civilian control in the field of national security in Ukraine is considered. The international obligations of Ukraine in the framework of ensuring democratic civilian control over the security sector have been systematized. The features of national legal acts have been clarified. In this work a distinction is made between the terms “civil control” and “ non-government control”. Emphasized that the legislator, relying on international standards of democratic citizen control, has applied English terms in national legislation in a superficial manner. Proved that control by civil society, has the meaning of «civilian control» embedded in international norms, can be defined as «non-government control», laying down one of the main principles - transparency, accessibility and accountability by civil society. It has been determined that civil society should be aimed at promoting the effective functioning of the security sector bodies and the fulfilment of their functions, and at strengthening the national security of Ukraine, although it may be of a recommendatory nature. It is concluded that democratic civilian control over the national security sector should be considered from the perspective of different components - social and government.
