SUPRANATIONAL JURISDICTION AS A COMPONENT OF THE INTEGRATION OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the issue of the status of supranational jurisdiction as a component of the supranational legal mechanism in the process of integrated development of society at the global level. Supranationality as a legal phenomenon is a reflection of the integration and globalization processes of the modern world. Accordingly, supranational law acts as a form of regulation of such processes, which offers a model of international cooperation and integration between states, contributes to their deepening and enrichment. It is noted that supranational law is the basis for the existence of supranational jurisdiction, which is defined as the competence of special judicial bodies, built by integrative supranational associations, for the purpose of considering and resolving private-law and public-law disputes. Bodies of supranational jurisdiction are not subject to the control of the member states of the supranational association, they use supranational law in their activities, the main characteristic of which is cross-border or multinationality. The quintessence of supranational jurisdiction should be considered not only judicial competence, but its role in establishing standards of legal protection, which ensures the implementation of the fundamental principles of the legal system of the relevant community, which is the legal form of the integration legal order. The conclusions formed by the author are designed for the European Court of Human Rights, which is an example of a model of supranational jurisdiction. Considerable attention is paid to the study of the relationship between supranational and national law and their relationship with jurisdiction. Ukraine’s entry into the legal field of the European Community opened the way for it to fully use supranational jurisdiction as a practical tool for the development of legal integration.
