Legal Science ◽

Characteristic Features ◽

Legal Forms ◽

Taking into account global trend that fight against crime and crime prevention can be successful only if we consolidate public authority’ and society’ efforts all together, the need of study of non-governmental organizations involvement in process of combating crime is necessary. Recent developments of civil society in Ukraine shows us the rise of role of non-governmental organizations in state affairs, and sphere of combating of crime is not an exception. At the same time, the term “non-governmental organizations” seems to be quite new for Ukraine’ criminological science, as well as for legal science of Ukraine in a whole. That is why the study of legal nature of non-governmental organizations give us the chance to conduct deeper research about their impact into decision-making proses and formation of different kinds of state policies, including policy in the field of combating crime in Ukraine. Therefore, the article is devoted to highlighting the characteristic features of nongovernmental organizations. Seems reasonable to start conduct such a research via study based on a logical and meaningful analysis of the regulatory documents of the Council of Europe. Where features of the concept of “non-governmental organization” are disclosed. Later on the right disclosure of features of non-governmental organizations, makes it possible to distinguish them from other similar legal forms (civil society organization, non-profit organization, voluntary citizens’ group etc.). Taking into account the global trends and the development of criminological science, the importance of further research on non-governmental organizations in the field of counter of crime is noted. A vital part in further research belongs to formation of a separate definition of “non-governmental organization” in the theory of Ukrainian’ legal science.

The article reveals the peculiarities of accounting in public associations, taking into account the specifics of their operation, in partic-ular in the aspect of standard correspondence of accounts of the main operations of public associations with the status of a legal entity. Emphasis is placed on the use of targeted funding accounts, as well as revenues and expenditures of public associations. The peculiar-ities of the activity of public organizations and public unions as separate organizational and legal forms of public associations are given, taking into account the legal status of their founders and participants. It is established that the main differences of public associations that affect their accounting are: non-profit status – the lack of accounting for the concepts of “profit” and “loss”; non-entrepreneurial activity as a priority – focus on the satisfaction of public interests; voluntary participation – features of accrual and payment of entrance and annual membership fees; lack of property interest from the participants – the passive nature of the account of settlements with creditors; possi-bility of cooperation with international governmental and non-governmental organizations – conducting currency accounting; possibility of formation of separate subdivisions (acquisition of all-Ukrainian status) – keeping records of current internal settlements; the right to financial support from budgets of different levels – the formation of reports on the targeted use of budget funds; the target nature of the disposal of funds and other property – separate accounting of property by sources of income and areas of use; active interaction with public authorities and local governments – the possibility of funding through the Treasury; moderate external control over the activity – evidence of the legitimacy of the transactions. A combined version of the structure of sub-accounts of targeted funding and targeted rev-enues of public associations is proposed, which provides for the opening of analytical accounts of the second and third orders in terms of individual projects and budget items. Typical operations for public associations that determine the specifics of their accounting are: accrual and payment of membership fees, receipt of property from various sources, settlement with contractors in the implementation of individual projects, calculation of exchange rates, recognition of income and expenses.Keywords: accounting, public association, public organization, public union, targeted funding.

The article deals with the basic legal acts defining the procedural aspects of the interaction of local self-government bodies with non-governmental organizations. Particular attention is paid to the coverage of international acts ratified by Ukraine and regulates the issues of such cooperation. The article highlights the dependence of the development of local self-government on the civil and political activity of the population. A detailed study of problems in the relationship of local self-government with citizens, associations of citizens, mass media and other civil society institutions has been formulated, proposals have been formulated to improve the solution of identified problems. As a result of the research, the author concluded that the main problem on the way of democratization of the national legislation of Ukraine is the inactive and ineffective participation of the public in the formation and implementation of state policy. The European Convention on Human Rights determines that the state must ensure the right of citizens to participate in the management of public affairs in order to establish a democratic and legal society, however, there are no mechanisms established by law for such participation. Investigation of the existing regulatory framework in Ukraine to ensure basic legal guarantees of citizens’ participation in the development and implementation of management decisions by local self-government bodies proves that not only these guarantees are not detailed, but also none of the existing normative acts establish clear procedures for ensuring the rights of citizens from the bodies of local self-government information regarding the issues discussed and regulated by these bodies, adopted regulatory acts, projects and mechanisms for the adoption of achymyh decisions for society. The article contains a number of concrete proposals for solving the problems of forming the basis of cooperation between local self-government bodies, the legal regulation of control and supervision activities in the field of local self-government, conflict resolution between local self-government bodies and civil society organizations, improvement of legal regulation of liability for non-compliance with legislation on civil cooperation society with local self-government bodies.

The Government ◽

The paradigm shift in disaster management places non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as the actors who contribute to the process. However, NGOs still face many challenges both internally and externally. The author tries to find challenges from the role of NGOs and tries to formulate the right strategy. This research is categorized as a post-positivist paradigm and uses a mixed active method. The NGOs analyzed were Yayasan Peta Bencana and MPBI. The results show that there are internal and external challenges. The challenges are the number of volunteers are limited, lack of volunteer knowledge, there is no program evaluation, and financial accountability from NGOs. Meanwhile, external environmental barriers are still low in understanding and role of society and the contribution of the private sector is still low. The authors formulate nine strategies to overcome these problems. A limitation in this study is that researchers only use secondary data to explain the role of either the government or other actors.

In modern Russia, the criminalization of the economy has become one of the most acute problems, a nationwide negative factor that undermines the authority of the authorities, destroys the foundations of statehood, and, as a result, creates a threat to the country's economic security. These circumstances dictate the need to quickly make optimal decisions that can protect the national economy from the negative effects of an illegal and criminal economy, as well as corruption as the basis of the shadow economy of Russia. Today we can say that the economic foundations of corruption, organized crime and terrorism are a kind of an independent sector of the economy. Corruption is beginning to seriously affect the decline in economic growth, the decline in the potential of civil society institutions, the violation of human rights, and other negative effects on the legal system. To achieve the goals, criminal structures use all means at their disposal: influence through government bodies and at the diplomatic level, special services, organized criminal communities, terrorist organizations, banking structures, non-profit and non-governmental organizations, subjects of criminal and shadow economy, etc. Analysis of market relations, the Russian economy gives the right to understand that the national economy in the position in which it is located cannot get out of the state of criminalization without reviewing and forming new relationship mechanisms.

In the framework of the study the experience of European states was taken, as countries that in historical perspective have the greatest experience in establishing relationships with the civil sector. On the basis of the study, the authors identified general tendencies that characterize the relations between the state and civil society, which are expressed in the strengthening of support for the third sector, the managerial and controlling functions of civil society institutions, as well as the replacement of some areas of activity of state bodies by non-governmental organizations.

Effective Role ◽

Countries and governments are seeking to develop their societies and achieve prosperity with growth for their people, through achieving comprehensive sustainable development, which guarantees the right of current generations to well-being, and preserving the right of subsequent generations through good exploitation of available resources, wealth and full preservation to the surrounding environment and not to destroy it. However, good governance reflects to recent global developments and changes that have coincided with changing in the system of political governance and the role of governments, as this concept was put forward in the framework of political programs in order to achieve development goals. Thus, good governance was provided and supported by international non-governmental organizations, such as the United Nations and international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, in order to add an authoritative, ethical way to practice power in managing the affairs of states and societies. The problem in this research paper was the extent of the contribution of civil society organizations in the development process, as a result of the weak role of governments and states, which forced these organizations to work side by side with governments in the process of achieving sustainable development. This paper relied on the descriptive and analytical approach and aimed to identify the important and effective role of civil society organizations in the process of achieving the development of peoples and societies. The study concluded that it is not possible for these civil organizations to contribute to achieving sustainable development with the absence or weakness of implementing and activating the standards of good governance, since good governance is the foundation to Achieve the real sustainable development.

Important Indication

Women in Non-governmental Organizations (WNGOs) can be define as women’s movement, women’s pressure group or interest group, women’s association and women’s in civil society. It is a non-profit institution that empowered to address women’s issues which the government has not been able to manage. It is a mediator whereby women issues can be brought to the attention of government. Since independence, more than 50 WNGOs have been established in Sarawak and this is an important indication that Sarawak women have realized their important roles and contribution to the society. Through WNGOs, Sarawak women have played an important part in promoting the development of society. Their roles and contribution through civil society have made society realized of the importance of their role in highlighting issues that need to be addressed. Even though the increasing number of WNGOs establishment has proven that they are needed in the development process but the issues of participation still arise. This paper makes an attempted to throw light on the various factors on women motivation and challenges that inhibit Sarawak women to participate in WNGOs in Sarawak.

The paper explores the challenges faced today, in a context of severe economic crisis, by immigrant associations (ΙΜΑs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Greece. The data analysed here was collected between October 2009 and February 2010 and incorporates references to all recorded migration-related social actors operating in Greece. The paper takes into account such indicators as legal form, objectives, financial capacity and geographical range of activity, concluding with a typology of civil society actors dealing with migration issues. This study aims at informing the migration policymaking and migrant integration processes. By a spatial hot-spot clustering of IMAs and NGOs, we also illustrate the concentration patterns of civil society actors in Greece.
