PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF ENSURING HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN STATE-BUILDING

Abstract

The The article examines the issues of human rights and the problems of their provision, as well as the role of the state in ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens in Ukraine.

Attention is focused on the fact that with the establishment of the doctrine of human rights, institutional mechanisms for their provision began to actively develop, which, in turn, include a set of various measures aimed at the effective implementation of human rights.

The main task of Ukrainian legislation is to create an effective mechanism for ensuring constitutional rights.

The mechanism for ensuring human rights includes various elements, including legislative acts, law enforcement practices, the activities of judicial bodies, human rights organizations, as well as the presence of an effective institutional structure for their implementation. One of the main components of this mechanism is state policy aimed at ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens.

An important role in this is played by national legislation, which must comply with international human rights standards, because it is through it that states ensure the implementation of human rights in practice. Therefore, the implementation of international norms in national legislation is an important step towards ensuring human rights.

According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the state is responsible to citizens for its activities. The establishment and protection of human rights and freedoms is the primary duty of the state. The main feature of a legal state is the rule of law, and therefore it is appropriate to consider the rule of law as a principle that establishes requirements for various social institutions to ensure natural human rights and freedoms. One of the serious problems is the low level of legal awareness among citizens. The role of the state is also to ensure the appropriate level of education and educational work among the population regarding their rights, which is an important aspect for overcoming legal nihilism and forming a sense of law.
