The purpose of the study is to identify the cause-and-effect relationships of offenses against honor and dignity among the most important personal non-property rights of a person, to reveal scientific and methodological problems, to show ways and means of prevention, to determine ways of effective and correct settlement of the current situation. Since slander is a new legal norm in the field of administrative law it is necessary to scientifically study the essence and nature of offenses that contradict the honor and dignity of a person and a citizen, regulatory mechanisms in the law enforcement system and ways to prevent them, the harmonization of normative legal acts concerning honor and dignity with international standards. The general scientific and special methods of cognition (normative, comparative legal, theoretical analysis and extension, system and functional approaches) have been used during the study. In the article the institution of slander is designated as one of the offenses against honor and dignity for the first time in the administrative and legal sphere. For the introduction of amendments to the legislation on mass media and administrative offenses, the article provides the adoption of a Code of Ethics, Honor and Dignity for the population as a whole. In the age of development of information technologies and democratic relations, including freedom of speech, the protection of honor and dignity, business reputation and honor, a good title are becoming increasingly relevant in society over time. It can be improved by scientific research and providing recommendations on specific legal regulation.
