Abstract
The article deals with the right of people to appeal for the protection of their rights and freedoms to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). In Ukraine, the problem of optimal organization and effective activity of public authorities in ensuring human rights lies in the sphere of ensuring the rule of law. The assertion and protection of human rights and freedoms is the main function of the Ukrainian state. An important confirmation of the significance of the institution of human rights as an object of protection by international institutions lies in the fact that in the current Constitution of Ukraine there are norms, which establish the inalienability and inviolability of these rights and set up a categorical prohibition on the adoption of laws and other normative legal acts that would restrict human rights or freedoms or narrow their content. However, the mechanisms of protecting human rights in Ukraine under the conditions of the socio-economic and political crisis are not enough effective, since systematic violations are traced. Special attention should be paid to the struggle against organized crime and corruption, which undermine the trust of people in their rights, as well as the ability of the authorities to ensure law and order. It is concluded that the European choice of Ukraine defined its state policy, which is aimed at approaching the living standards of citizens to European standards, rooting European values in all spheres of the functioning of the Ukrainian state and society. In the context of the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the EU legislation, the guarantee of human rights is the key to stable partnerships with the EU member states. Therefore, an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights is considered as an additional guarantee of ensuring the rights and freedoms of man and citizen at the international level, as well as the mechanism for their protection in cases where a person is not satisfied with the decision of the domestic court, and there are violations of legal norms. The reflection of standards in the field of human rights, taking into account the national identity, will enable the fullest exercise and protection of human rights, and increase the level of legal culture. Such a system of legal conscience should be aimed at recognizing the axiological content of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen in their combination with the rights of society and the state. However, we believe that Ukraine should continue to make significant efforts to ensure the effectiveness of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, to create new effective national remedies against its violations, to adapt national legislation to European standards more actively. Thus, the most effective and immediate protection of human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Convention should be ensured at the national level.
