Review

Abstract. The article is devoted to topical issues of improving the procedure for recognizing organizations as terrorist and forming their register. It is noted that the expansion of the influence of terrorist organizations, the increase of their terrorist activity, the spread of the influence of terrorist ideology, requires the improvement of the legislative procedure for recognizing them as terrorists, the formation of a single list of such organizations The purpose of the article is to improve the legal procedure for recognizing an organization as a terrorist, to clarify the problems of forming their register in the context of countermeasures against organized terrorist activity. The article reveals the threats and risks associated with the activities of terrorist organizations, substantiates the importance of the procedures for recognizing them as terrorist and keeping a list of such organizations for improving the practice of combating terrorism. It is noted that the maintenance and publication of lists (lists) of organizations recognized as terrorist in accordance with the procedure established by law is not only a powerful means of countering terrorist activities, but also an important tool for communication between the state and society, as it allows to publicly certify the connection of one or another organization with illegal activity. The inadequacy of the regulatory and legal regulation of the specified procedures in Ukraine has been clarified, which complicates the implementation of effective measures to respond to the illegal activities of terrorist organizations. The provisions of the recently adopted Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to the Criminal and Criminal Procedural Codes of Ukraine in connection with the ratification of the Additional Protocol to the Convention of the Council of Europe on the Prevention of Terrorism, as well as to some legislative acts of Ukraine on improving the fight against terrorism» are analyzed, its shortcomings are highlighted, in connection with which the need for its further improvement was determined. The conclusions suggest a set of measures to improve anti-terrorist activities. The need to increase the effectiveness of combating organized terrorist activity in Ukraine is substantiated, primarily by improving the legislation in the field of combating terrorism and the practice of its application, which, according to the authors, will allow Ukraine to fulfill its international legal obligations in this area.

Keywords: terrorism, terrorist organizations, legislation, order of confession, register, counteraction.
