System of protection of rights and freedoms human and citizens: doctrinal principles

Abstract

It is indicated that the formation of modern institutions of civil society and the development of a social and legal state require significant changes in the organization and activity of the entire system of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. The effective activity of law enforcement agencies of our country is a necessary condition for protecting the constitutional system, ensuring legality and law and order, and observing the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. That is why the work examines the modern system of protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms. The author draws attention to the doctrinal aspects of building a domestic human rights protection mechanism. An analysis of individual decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on the subject under study is provided.
 The authors conclude that the constitutional system of protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen is an important and, in fact, a defining component of the state-wide system of constitutional law of Ukraine, as it exerts a system-forming influence on other elements (fundamentals) of the constitutional system of our state. All the elements of the constitutional system of protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms reflected in the Constitution of Ukraine, despite the direct effect of constitutional norms and their application throughout the country, require legislative specification and development. The detailing of various components of the constitutional system for the protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms contributes to the formation of relatively independent blocs, including the human rights and law enforcement system of Ukrainian society and the state. The constitutional system of protection of the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen in Ukraine is generally quite extensive, the main elements of which are its subjects, objects, principles, as well as guarantees of the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. At the same time, in the studied system, the subjects are the main ones, because they are the generators of social activity, activity, the bearer of interest and a participant in social relations.
