Development of Integrity and Intolerance to Corruption in the System of Preparation for Military Service

Abstract

The urgency of the issue of the development of integrity and intolerance to corruption in the system of preparation for military service is becoming increasingly publicised, since the number of such negative social phenomena, manifested in the form of abuse of power or official position to obtain illegal material benefits, is constantly growing, which as a result provokes an imbalance in the main paramilitary structures of Ukraine, in particular the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The purpose of this study is to analyse the current systems of educating socially positive qualities that are necessary to prevent the spread of corruption, to highlight their disadvantages and solutions that will help to overcome them. This research aimed at studying the sphere of military security and integrity of officers who are the personnel of military bodies was conducted using such methods as logical analysis, comparative analysis, the formal-legal, synthesis, deduction, analysis of scientific literature. The result of this study is to identify and highlight the theoretical and practical foundations of the mechanism of educating socially important qualities and intolerance to corruption in the military during preparation for military service, their effectiveness in affirming in the minds of each officer the main principles and foundations for countering abuse of power and obtaining benefits of various kinds. The research is aimed at developing and educating intolerance to corruption and other socially dangerous phenomena in preparing for military service, since in the future this may lead to a decrease in the authority of a particular structure and in the level of trust in it from the population, the introduction of methods that will improve and make such preventive systems more effective.

Custody: Law Enforcement Issues and Human Rights Protection

“…There is also a problem in Ukraine, indicated in the Report of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) for 2014-2021. "Arbitrary detention, torture, and ill-treatment in the context of the armed conflict in the east of Ukraine", related to the ongoing acts of unlawful detention and custody in the territories temporarily occupied by illegal military formationspeople's republics in Donetska and Luhanska Oblasts, self-proclaimed and unrecognised in the world community (Shopina et al, 2022).…”

A Review of Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Strategies and Institutions in Kenya

“…From the foregoing, it is probable to elucidate that whereas Kenya has received substantial assistance from bilateral and multilateral entities, the extent to which this has translated into fruitful fight against corruption remains a grey area. Review of existing evidence indicates that international assistance to Kenya has conditionalities attached to aid, which continues to create a dynamic where Kenya prioritizes programs that appease donors contrasted to those that address the root causes of corruption within its own context (Shopina, et al, 2022). Towards this, it can be deduced that international cooperation in itself means that policies implemented locally are not tailored to combat corruption as they lack ownership, and thus are not sustainable in the long-term.…”

“…According to Transparency International's 2022 Corruption perceptions index, Ukraine ranked 122 nd out of 180 countries, among such countries as Esvatini, Gabon and Mexico (Corruption perceptions index, 2021). The urgency of deepening integrity and intolerance to corruption becomes even more important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine given lately manifested cases of obtaining illegal benefits by officials in the main paramilitary structures of Ukraine (Shopina et al, 2022). However, according to the Millennium Challenge Corporation public opinion survey of anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine, 52% of Ukrainians believe that corruption is justified in most situations to get things done; and 77% of the population believe that corruption levels have remained the same or have increased since 2004 (Neutze & Karatnycky, 2007).…”
