This article thoroughly discusses the modern conceptual approaches related to legal understanding. A type of legal understanding is a certain understanding of law that characterizes a combination of the most essential features of law.

The main conceptual approaches to modern legal understanding are the transformed concepts of natural law, the normative (positivist) approach, judicial understanding, integrative legal understanding, liberal legal concepts.

Legal understanding is a legal foundation of social reality. At the heart of any legal understanding is some idea of the meaning of human and social life, of the essence of man and society. In other words, each legal understanding is based on a certain type of philosophical picture of the world. As a tool for regulating and protecting social relations, law arose in the earliest stages of social development and developed together with society. At the same time, the processes of legal formation and law enforcement have long been of an elemental nature, which was conditioned by the objective regularities of social development. These patterns are based on cause-and-effect relationships and general principles of system formation. Any system, including the social system, develops in at least three moments. under the influence of self-preservation, self-destruction, and self-development. The strengthening or weakening of the mentioned trends acts, on the one hand, as a consequence of preceding events, and on the other hand, as a cause of subsequent changes.

This scientific article thoroughly discusses the prerequisites for the establishment of a social-legal state. In the article, the author develops a conceptual approach according to which the socio-legal state is a single integral state-legal system in which the legal and social are not imposed, but combine and complement each other.

The legal foundations and social foundations of a socio-legal state must correspond to each other, act side by side, together, which expresses the nature, essence and mission of this state.

Thus, the activity of the social legal state is oriented towards creating conditions for the realization of the right to a dignified life for the largest number of citizens.

A social-legal state is not a mechanical coexistence of the features of a «social» and a «legal» state, but rather, by its nature and essence, is a feature of a single, holistic state, in which the legal and the social are in a complex dialectical interdependence, which few states currently claim to be. In scientific literature, a socio-legal state is defined as a state that ensures the conditions for the exercise of the right to a dignified life by every person.

The issues of establishing a legal state are legally related to constitutional amendments, which are clearly enshrined in the social, economic and legislative foundations of a legal state, since it is a constitutional state in which law and constitutional legitimacy prevail, as well as the constitutionalization of legal norms. A legal state is a sovereign political organization based on the rule of law, in which the protection of human rights and freedoms is guaranteed.

In an increasingly interconnected world, economic and political measures are frequently employed to shape global interactions, maintain stability, and enforce compliance with international norms. However, such measures can often produce unintended consequences, particularly for vulnerable populations. Policies designed to influence the behavior of states, organizations, and individuals must therefore be accompanied by mechanisms that ensure their effectiveness while minimizing collateral harm.

This work proposes the creation of an international institution with advanced filtering mechanisms, real-time monitoring, and legal oversight. A key feature of this framework is the Legal Review and Enforcement Department, which would ensure that sanctions comply with international law and human rights protections. The proposed structure aims to improve the effectiveness of sanctions while safeguarding civilian well-being through more targeted and adaptable approaches.

The countries of the Central and Eastern European region are conventionally divided into two groups in this article. The first group includes those countries that were formerly part of the USSR, and after the collapse of the latter, united in the Commonwealth of Independent States. These are Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, as well as the South Caucasus countries outside the geographical borders of Europe - Armenia, Georgia (it left the CIS in 2008) and Azerbaijan. Kazakhstan is also a member of the Council of Europe, although only a small part of its territory is within the geographical area of Europe.

The second group is formed by such Eastern European countries as Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the countries that emerged after the breakup of Yugoslavia: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia (in 2008 Kosovo declared its secession from Serbia and declaration of independence and is still a partially recognized country), Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro. This group, of course, also includes Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

According to the author of the article, it is justified to single out a conditional group of the mentioned countries. These countries have survived the period of communist rule and are currently fundamentally reforming the entire system of public relations, including the system of the supreme bodies of state power. At the same time, they rely on their own pre-socialist past and the example of developed democratic countries, as well as take into consideration modern global trends in constitutional development.

The author of the article also believes that the specific goal of the reforms was to overcome the negative political and legal practices of the socialist regime. In particular, the Eastern European countries are striving to recreate the parliament as a truly functioning representative legislative body of state power. And although most of them have chosen a mixed form of government, the decisive role of adopting laws and forming a government and defining its responsibilities has been assigned to the parliament, which, in accordance with modern ideas, has acquired broad powers, including in the field of foreign political cooperation.
