Abstract. It is emphasized that the scientific and practical significance of the research lies in the
development of the conceptual foundations of the goal-setting mechanism of administrative law norms, the
specification of its elements and procedures, and the formation of criteria for evaluating effectiveness at all
stages-from goal formulation to their adjustment. This will make it possible to improve the quality of lawmaking
and law enforcement and to strengthen trust in the system of public authority in general and public
administration in particular.
The article substantiates the author’s definition of the goal-setting mechanism of administrative law
norms as an orderly system of legal means and procedures through which the determination, normative
fixation, evaluation, and adjustment of the goals of administrative-legal regulation are carried out. Emphasis is
placed on ensuring their compliance with the principles of law, the balance of interests of private individuals,
society, and the state, as well as the attainability and effectiveness of their practical implementation.
Structurally, the goal-setting mechanism is considered as a set of legal instruments for planning and
substantiating goals (in particular, the concept of a normative legal act, regulatory impact assessment),
procedures of public consultations, legal and special examinations, state registration of normative legal acts, as
well as the monitoring of their effectiveness and legal oversight, followed by the revision and adjustment of
established goals. It is argued that the systematic use of these instruments makes it possible to clearly track the
compliance of the defined objectives with real social needs and to timely adjust legal regulation in order to
achieve maximum effectiveness.
The conclusion is drawn that the development of the conceptual foundations of the goal-setting
mechanism of administrative law norms is a necessary step towards improving the quality of law-making and
law enforcement, enhancing the transparency of regulatory activity, and building public trust in the institutions
of public administration.
