Abstract
<jats:p>The article is devoted to the study of the problems of implementing the Constitution of Ukraine, which arise due to the lack of adequate legal mechanisms to ensure the execution of constitutional powers and duties by public authorities. The aim of the article is a comprehensive analysis of practical and normative issues in the implementation of the Constitution of Ukraine and the formulation of proposals to improve constitutional regulation. The article examines problems related to the possibility of blocking the entry into force of laws in the event of their non-signature by the President of Ukraine without the use of the veto power, as well as the absence of clearly defined deadlines for the appointment of judges of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. The practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine functioning under conditions of prolonged incompleteness is analyzed, and the risks of weakening the mechanism of constitutional control are outlined. Special attention is paid to the lack of effective mechanisms of legal accountability of the President of Ukraine and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for the failure to fulfill constitutional duties, as well as to the problem of low discipline of Members of Parliament during participation in plenary sessions. The study applies formal-legal, systemic, and comparative-legal methods, as well as the method of analysis of law enforcement practice. It is argued that the main difficulties in the implementation of the Constitution of Ukraine are caused not so much by the content of its norms but by the lack of effective procedural mechanisms to ensure them. It is proposed to expand the provisions of Article 94 of the Constitution of Ukraine regarding the procedure for signing laws, to establish mandatory deadlines for the appointment of judges of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, to grant this body the authority to record facts of non-fulfillment of constitutional duties by subjects of state power, and to improve the mechanisms of accountability of Members of Parliament for systematic non-participation in parliamentary work. The implementation of the proposed changes will contribute to strengthening the principle of the rule of law and increasing the effectiveness of the Constitution of Ukraine. Keywords: implementation of the Constitution of Ukraine, Constitutional Court of Ukraine, inaction of state authorities, signing of laws by the President of Ukraine, appointment of judges of the Constitutional Court, constitutional accountability, disciplinary responsibility of Members of Parliament.</jats:p>
