Abstract

The issue of providing access to justice for every person is now topical worldwide. The problem of protecting the interests of crime victims needs improvement. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to clarify the issue of compliance of the legislation of European countries, including Ukraine, with international standards in the field of protection of victims' rights. Based on the analysis results, recommendations were proposed to improve regulatory provisions to bring them into line with international legal acts. An analysis of the court verdicts passed based on the results of criminal case consideration was carried out. The need to ensure professional representation of the victim's rights has been established. The need for mandatory representation of the elderly, people with disabilities, and representatives of other social categories is emphasized. Analyzing the legislation of countries such as Czechia, Bulgaria, and Georgia determined the peculiarities of victim representation in criminal proceedings. The fundamental principles to which the legal system of any legal and social state must comply have been determined based on international legal treaties. Considering the received conclusions, recommendations for improving Ukraine's legislation were formulated.
