Efficiency of Legal Regulation of Social Relations: Relevant Issues of the Modern Theory

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of topical issues of modern theory regarding the effectiveness of the legal regulation of public relations. The author outlines the relevance and significance of the topic of research. A brief retrospective description of the development of domestic research practice on the problem of the effectiveness of legal regulation of public relations is given. The thesis is argued that one of the most pressing issues of modern theory is the problem of “extraordinary” legal regulation of public relations, which arose due to the complication of the epidemiological situation in the world. Emphasis is placed on one of its sub-issues, the limitation of natural human rights. The author concludes that the integration of additions, changes to national legislation, new requirements, rules, obligations, even if they are justified by a high-alert and emergency regime, a priori must comply with the provisions of de jure priority regulations. Only in this way will the legal regulation of public relations be effective de facto.
