Civil society in modern realities: experience and prospects of Belarus
Countering and overcoming corruption manifestations are priorities in the development
of any sovereign state. Its implementation contributes to successful socio-economic
development, strengthening the law and order. In accordance with the provisions of the
concept of national security of the Republic of Belarus ensuring public safety and life
safety of the population, reducing crime and criminalizing society are a priority for the
development of the Republic of Belarus at the present stage. However there are problems
and imperfections in legal and organizational management practices that objectively
impede the development and use of the potential of civil society in countering corruption.
About the risks of a corrupt nature speak the practice of international reviews and the
conclusions of European experts in the field of human rights and freedoms.
The study conducted by the author confirms: the need to consolidate certain forms
of civil society participation in the fight against corruption; the presence of certain
factors of a legal, organizational, managerial nature that impede the full realization of the
potential of civil society in countering corruption; the possibility of introducing elements of
e-democracy as an effective tool in the fight against corruption.
Keywords: corruption; crime; warning measures; crime prevention; the fight against corruption; civil society; democracy
