ABSTRACT. The article describes the responsibility of local self-government bodies in the conditions of decentralization of power in Ukraine. The relevance of the study of the responsibility of local self-government bodies is due to the expansion of their powers, influence and resources in the conditions of decentralization of power. The levels and types of responsibility of local self-government bodies are characterized, as well as aspects of legal responsibility of local self-government bodies – positive (prospective) and negative (retrospective).

Positive responsibility implies a high level of legal awareness and legal culture, a deep awareness of one’s own mission, a focus on virtuous and effective service to the interests of the community and society. Negative legal liability of local self-government bodies and officials is recognized as an effective guarantee of the reality of local self-government.

It was concluded that the responsibility of local self-government bodies and officials has both a social and a legal nature. In the context of the reform of power decentralization, it is the social responsibility of local self-government bodies that is of particular interest. Social responsibility determines the conscious and active socially responsible activity of local self-government bodies and officials on the basis of social norms (legal, moral, ethical, etc.) regarding the implementation of the goals and tasks of local self-government. The legal responsibility of local self-government bodies should be understood as the obligation of local self-government bodies and officials to suffer negative or positive consequences for legally significant behavior (action or inaction) provided for by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. The responsibility of local self-government bodies should be based on a system of sustainable and effective guarantees.

Keywords: local self-government, responsibility, social responsibility, legal responsibility, decentralization of power, rule of law.
