ANTI-CORRUPTION DECLARATION ON THE PUBLIC SERVICE IN RUSSIA AND THE COUNTRIES OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN LEGAL TRADITION
The legal regulation of anti-corruption declaration in the public service is not devoid of shortcomings, which become obvious due to the involvement of millions of employees around the world in the declaration process. This article examines the legal regulation of anti-corruption declaration in order to identify the differences in such regulation in Russia and countries of the Anglo-American legal tradition. The study was carried out using a comparative legal methodology based on the legislation of Russia, the USA, the UK, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The novelty of the study is the comparison of Russian and foreign legal regulation of anti-corruption declaration in terms of such indicators as objects of declaration, verification and publication of declarations. The Russian experience differs from the regulation in these countries, which has a service and ethical focus. The experience of the aforementioned countries is promising for strengthening the institution of public control in Russian society; in most cases, it makes it possible to exclude disclosure of information about an employee’s family, since personal and family interests do not in themselves affect the public sphere. The research results can be used to improve Russian legislation.
