Prawotwórcze formy działalności władzy wykonawczej na Ukrainie

Abstract

Despite the geographical proximity the political systems in Poland and Ukraine are quite significantly different in perception of the role of the Executive Power in the creation of law and the assessment of individual types of activities. In the western doctrine of constitutional law, the system of normative acts of the executive branch is accepted as almost natural. For this reason, quite simply, we cannot see any, even minor, derogative constitutional regulations on this matter. In this article, I would like to draw proper attention to only one issue concerning the law-making activity of the executive power in Ukraine, namely the forms of these acts and focus on the creating sources of the natural law ”erga omnes” by the two state bodies: the president and the Cabinet of Ministers. The aim of the article is to emphasize the diversity of the Ukrainian system of legal sources based on a relatively narrow example of acts of supreme organs of the executive power.
