The Legal Regulation of Delegation of Powers and Responsibility by Military Leaders: An Issue Statement

The paper deals with legal relations related to the transfer of part of the duties from the principal to the subordinate, as well as flaws in the legal regulation of this process. The author identifies the reasons for the delegation of powers in the public administration system, comparing them with the commercial area, and describes their specifics in the military field. In addition to the already well-studied reasons for delegating authority (unloading the principal from routine work, stimulating the professional growth of subordinates, etc.), the author focuses on such a reason for delegation as evading managerial decision-making with the transfer of this function to a subordinate in order to avoid negative sanctions for the decision. The paper also analyzes situations where it is impossible for public officials to make effective decisions due to the inconsistency of their official qualifications with delegated duties. Based on the above, proposals are made to improve legislation and organizational activities of heads of public authorities and administration.
