State’s protection of personal rights

Abstract

The article explores certain areas of public relations that require state and legal regulation to avoid social conflicts. Examining the constitutional mechanism of state power, experts define its functions as the activities of the subjects of such a mechanism within the competence defined by law, aimed at achieving the goals and objectives of the state. Thus, the main purpose of the Constitutional state, as Ukraine declares itself, is the real provision of the individual’s ability to realise constitutional rights and freedoms for their own benefit. Nowadays, the formal declaration of social justice is often obvious, but modern Ukrainian society is characterized by many contradictions – the adoption of a significant number of legal acts and at the same time the spread of total legal nihilism (adopted laws are openly ignored, violated and not valued). It is emphasized that legal education is an important founder of the value criteria for the existence of the the Constitutional state. The arsenal of various means of spiritual development and improvement of the person has special value. And law is one of them.
 Emphasized that a person’s legal convictions are strengthened under the conditions of constant thoughtful improvement of normative prescriptions, bringing them in line with the urgent needs of social development.
 In Ukraine, there are areas that need to be transformed, but there are also those in which lawmakers have reacted quickly to change. The author studies some regulations on the areas of economics, and armed conflict.
 It is concluded that the norms of international and Ukrainian law on the protection of human rights testify the activity of the state in performing its functions to regulate the life of the human team. The application of state and legal measures to ensure the health, life and security of society, although not always prompt and adequate, is undoubtedly invaluable given the parity of protected goods.
