PUBLIC-LEGAL MECHANISMS OF RIGHT LIMITATION FOR INFORMATION IN THE INTERESTS OF NATIONAL SECURITY: CONTENTS AND CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

The article examines the problematic issues of implementing the National Security Strategy with regard to current threats in the information sphere, ensuring the achievement of the priorities for protecting the right to information and personal data protection, and decisions of the national security entities on additional restrictive measures (sanctions) for individuals and legal entities in case of violation of legislation in the information sphere. The analysis confirmed the concept of the possibility of limiting the right to information by law in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public order, to prevent riots or criminal offenses, to protect public health, to protect the reputation or rights of others, to prevent the disclosure of information received in confidence, or to maintain the authority and impartiality of justice. The author notes that insufficient attention is paid to the development of public law mechanisms for restricting the right to information in the interests of national security. The author separately analyzes the mechanisms of "restriction of human and civil rights and freedoms", "restriction of the right to information in the interests of national security", and identifies "constitutional and legal", "administrative and legal", "economic and legal", "civil and legal", "international and legal" mechanisms of restriction of the right to information, and other public and legal mechanisms of restriction of the right to information. The author emphasizes the need to study them separately in the systems of: specific and individual restriction of the right to information; general restriction of the right to information and introduction of a ban on a certain type of information activity, content of a certain content; control of restriction of the right to information.
