Regulatory mechanism for ensuring the fulfillment of human and civil responsibilities

Abstract

The article analyzes the norms of international human rights treaties of a universal nature, of which Ukraine is a member or participant. It has been proved that international human rights treaties of a universal nature are a structural element of the legal mechanism for ensuring the fulfillment of human and civil responsibilities. Among such international treaties are those that contain the responsibilities of man and citizen, as well as enshrine the need for the State party to create an effective regulatory mechanism to ensure the implementation of these responsibilities: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 1, Article 29), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (art. 19, art. 24), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Preamble), 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (art. 7). It is noted that the states parties to these international human rights treaties have undertaken to establish effective national mechanisms to ensure the fulfillment of the obligations of man and citizen enshrined in these treaties and must fulfill these obligations in good faith by improving national legislation (especially all - constitutional) and the practice of its application. Emphasis is also placed on the draft Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities and its norms. It is argued that the structural elements of the legal mechanism to ensure the fulfillment of human and civil responsibilities are international law, general principles of law recognized by all nations, the following supporting sources: international court decisions, doctrinal works of the most qualified specialists in international law. It is stated that the performance of the duties of a person and a citizen should not contradict the goals and principles of the United Nations. It is concluded that international human rights treaties of a universal nature apply a universal approach to consolidating the responsibilities of man and citizen.
