Strengthening the protection of critical infrastructure: domestic realities and international cooperation

The article emphasizes that the creation of a state system of critical infrastructure protection requires legal regulation of the basic principles of its operation, the introduction of common approaches to the management of system facilities at the state and local levels, defining the principles of interaction between state bodies and society. and citizens. Specific problematic aspects of the sphere of critical infrastructure protection in the process of reform are considered, among which: lack of a unified national system of critical infrastructure protection; insufficiency and inconsistency of normative-legal regulation on protection of systems and objects of critical infrastructure; lack of a state body responsible for coordinating actions in the field of critical infrastructure protection, uncertainty of powers, tasks and responsibilities of central executive bodies and other state bodies in the field of critical infrastructure protection, as well as rights, duties and responsibilities of owners (managers) critical infrastructure; underdeveloped public-private partnership in the field of critical infrastructure protection and uncertainty of sources of funding for critical infrastructure protection measures, insufficient level of international cooperation in the field of critical infrastructure protection. Some issues of strengthening the protection of critical infrastructure in the context of cooperation with IFI`s have been studied. The authors consider the financing of infrastructure development projects implemented in Ukraine through borrowings raised by Ukraine from international partners, including the EBRD, the World Bank, KfW and others. The need to adopt the draft Law of Ukraine “On Critical Infrastructure” № 5219 was emphasized. To support the critical infrastructure protection management system, it is proposed to adopt a Critical Infrastructure Protection Management Strategy for the medium term until 2025, which will form the basis for sustainable and inclusive development of the critical infrastructure protection system and the national economy in general.

The analysis of state regulation of critical infrastructure development in Ukraine is carried out. It is noted that the creation of a regulatory framework for solving such problems is at an early stage. The draft laws on critical infrastructure submitted to the parliament contain definitions of the terms used in the regulation of the formation and development of critical infrastructure, tasks of state policy for critical infrastructure protection, certain principles of its operation, provisions on the establishment of critical infrastructure protection authorities, At the same time, there are no provisions on defining the basic principles of formation and development of critical infrastructure, the procedure for establishing and operating institutions to ensure its functionality, distribution of powers and responsibilities between them, the use of mechanisms to regulate the provision of critical infrastructure. The developed documents contain provisions that relate mainly to the protection of critical infrastructure, rather than its formation and development as a whole infrastructure. It is proposed (taking into account foreign experience) to determine the content of critical infrastructure, taking into account the state of its functionality and the provision of critical services. It is recommended to extend the scope of public policy to the development of critical infrastructure in general, and not to limit it only to issues of its protection. Attention is drawn to the need to regulate the conditions of involvement of participants in the provision of critical services, coordination of their activities, exchange of information and more. It is noted that the submitted bills did not address the issues of financial support of critical infrastructure and its state regulation. The adoption of the Critical Infrastructure Development Strategy, the implementation of the National Program, as well as the National Plan for their implementation are not envisaged. Amendments to the considered bills on the development of critical infrastructure and its protection in Ukraine are proposed.

Infrastructure Protection

This article provides systematic international experience of legal regulation of critical infrastructure protection in foreign jurisdictions. Some aspects of national critical infrastructure security systems of such as countries Germany, Spain, USA, and Denmark are described. The article determines that at national levels in different countries critical infrastructure protection is mainly regulated by national security strategies, defense strategies and other basic regulatory acts related to the functioning of critical infrastructure and its protection. The article considers aspects of legal regulation of relations in the sphere of public-private partnership and critical infrastructure protection in modern Ukraine. According to the results of the research, it has been established that in Ukraine there are documents of strategic character that regulate the implementation of public-private partnership, which should become a mutually beneficial factor that will facilitate mutual integration processes. Main directions for developing public-private partnership in the field of critical infrastructure protection in Ukraine have been suggested. Key words: public-private partnership, legal regulation, critical infrastructure, critical infrastructure protection, international experience.

Current State

A special legislation on criminal liability for offences against critical infrastructure objects is currently under development in Ukraine. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted the Concept for the development of a state system for critical infrastructure protection. The paper considers this legal area with regard to objects in the nuclear industry in the general context of critical infrastructure protection. It provides the current state in the legal regulation of fundamentals of criminal liability for offences against the critical infrastructure objects in the nuclear industry. The issue on the sufficiency and appropriateness of the existing level of such a liability is discussed further. The paper presents the list of some main critical infrastructure objects in accordance with the regulatory documents in the sphere of critical infrastructure protection and their classification. In addition, such concepts as “critical infrastructure” (relatively new notion in the national legislation), “unlawful intrusion”, “computer crimes”, “critical information infrastructure” and other concepts important to the nuclear industry were considered in this research. The notions presented in different regulatory documents were analyzed. The paper emphasizes that the legislation of Ukraine does not currently present special (separate) standards on the criminal liability for offences against critical infrastructure objects. Some promising issues related to fundamentals of the criminal liability and protection of critical infrastructure objects in the nuclear industry were also considered. The research involves the prospect of further development of a special law to define the area for improving relevant legislation on general regulation of these issues. The paper also stresses on the need to introduce some changes to the Criminal Code of Ukraine with respect to certain articles of section XIV.
