ОБМЕЖЕННЯ ПРАВ ЛЮДИНИ: НЕБЕЗПЕЧНА ТЕНДЕНЦІЯ

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of human rights restrictions in Ukraine. The author states that there is an increasing tendency of human rights restriction in Ukraine. Both the state and private persons are the subjects of violation of human rights. In the legislative policy this tendency has increased since the parliamentary election in 2014. That year is known as the beginning of the in Ukraine. But most of the restrictions of human rights made by the laws of Ukraine (which violate the Constitution of Ukraine) since then have no relation to military activities and national security. The author identifies a number of tendencies: 1) recent amendments to Ukrainian legislation not only limit constitutional rights but also violate the principles of law and constitutional guarantees of human rights; 2) due to the usage of modern informational technologies, violations of the right to privacy are total; however, the law-enforcement agencies do not struggle with such violations systematically; 3) many constitutional human rights are violated by the laws devoted to family relations; those laws are being passed by the Parliament of Ukraine with the very high speed that is not quite usual for legislative process in Ukraine; 4) both the state and private persons use modern technologies to violate human rights; on the basis of modern technologies new ways of violation of human rights appear. Conclusions. The restrictions of human rights, provided by the laws, always have some reasons. But neither political, nor economical, nor social nor any other interest can be the reason for violation of human rights and freedoms. "In spite of the fact that the air was never so full of theories of liberty and wild declarations of «rights», there has been a steady curtailment of «personal freedom»". These words of the great American Henry Ford are so relevant for modern Ukraine.
