THE ESSENCE OF INFORMATION SOVEREIGNTY FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

. Purpose . The purpose of the article is to form the modern essence of information sovereignty from the perspective of administrative law in Ukraine, relying on the systematic analysis of the positions of scientists, reference materials, and provisions of current legislation. Results. It is noted that the State has some duties only where it has a certain interest: only what works to strengthen the State, to protect it from external aggression and internal strife, can be the subject matter of its systemic protection, support and all kinds of care. Conversely, what constitutes a threat to the interests of the State, it is not obliged to support; moreover, it is interested and engaged in limiting and minimising influence and development. The humanitarian policy of the State should be aimed at strengthening its sovereignty and, accordingly, may more or less coincide with the humanitarian policies of the individual cultural groups composed of the citizens of that State. It is established that the Concept of State Sovereignty needs to be modernised by integrating the classical and new information powers of the State, which are characteristic of the globalised information world. Information sovereignty is not an independent category of constitutional law: this term describes the specificity of the sovereign powers of the State in the global information space regarding the independent formation of national information policy and national security. Conclusions. It is concluded that information sovereignty as an information part of State sovereignty is a particularly valuable object of the administrative and legal protection in the context of the development of information society and conditionally is under full protection of the information security of the State. Information sovereignty is the independent information and spatial boundary of the use of information space, information resources and information technologies of each State, which by integrated processes is integrated into the global information space and at the same time represents the national interests of the State, specificities of its State information policy and the concept of protection for the expression of the State information identity and the subjective participation in the information exchange at the global level.
