Abstract

Concerning juridical responsibility there are published a lot of articles, collections and
monographs. In the working out of its subject-matters there are some achievements. However the
itself notion of responsibility, and series of its central problems - is a subject of long years - lasting
discussion, during which came out the necessity to elaborate some methodological questions. The
juridical responsibility is being determined as a duty “to be responsible”, “to account”. One of the
results in the search to determine the juridical responsibility has become the idea of “positive law
responsibility”, under which we understand not the responsibility of the person who has committed an
infringement of the law, but vice versa a lawful behavior of the person, who commits no law
infringements. The goal of the given article is to regard the juridical responsibility of one of the
subjects of administrative law – local public authorities - in Republic of Moldova, because the
efficient activity of the state (a good state government) depends on the determination of the concrete
forms of the juridical responsibility for the local public authorities.
