сторони життєдіяльності суспільства. Верховенство права є потужним чинником розвиту та

theoretical and legal consideration of the importance of the principle of the rule of law in the formation of
state policy in the spheres of national security and defense. It is emphasized that the principle of the rule
of law as a worldview reference point is of leading importance in the formation of a legal state and
ensuring national security and defense. It is emphasized that state policy in the spheres of national
security and defense is a multi-level, complex phenomenon that in one way or another affects various
aspects of society's life. The rule of law is a powerful factor in the development and modernization of the
state and society, taking into account the peculiarities of their historical evolution.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the effectiveness of the formation of state policy in the spheres
of national security and defense based on the rule of law requires the improvement of legal mechanisms
for its implementation, taking into account the existing reality and trends. Today, international and
national security are completely interdependent and evolve under the influence of a number of internal
and external factors. Ignoring the fundamental standards of implementation of state policy in the spheres
of national security and defense leads to a lack of coordination between its elements. In the context of the
development of civil society in Ukraine, the priority task remains the development of models and
implementation of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions. Effective
implementation of the principle of the rule of law requires establishing its clear definition, which will
avoid misunderstandings and offenses in the relevant areas. It is noted that the problem of forming state
policy in the spheres of national security and defense in accordance with the principles of the rule of law
is one of the key issues for the Ukrainian state and requires special attention of scientists.
