The President of Ukraine issues decrees (ukazy) and directives
(rozporiadzennia).
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, within the limits of its
competence, issues resolutions (postanovy) and directives
(rozporiadzennia). All the documents produced by the highest state
bodies are mandatory for execution by every person on the territory of
Ukraine.
In pursuance of the laws of Ukraine, the ministries, state agencies
and committees issue resolutions, directives, regulations, instructions and
orders that concern their specific sphere of competence.
Ukraine carries out foreign policy activity. It is a member to
different international organizations and agreements. International treaties
come into force on the consent of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to be
binding. Since that moment they become an important part of national
legislation. The conclusion of international treaties that contravene the
Constitution of Ukraine is possible only after introducing relevant
amendments to the Constitution.
All these normative legal acts and international treaties of Ukraine
are registered at the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
Local state administrations and bodies of local self–government
issue resolutions, orders, decisions, etc. to ensure the observance of laws
and freedoms of citizens, and the implementation of development
programs and regional budgets.
The number of laws increases constantly, which creates the problem
of contradictions between them. The imperfectness of Ukrainian
legislation lies in its instability, overregulation and complexity of norms.
