The right to peace in the system of human rights

Abstract

The article analyzes and researchs the human right to peace as a special right of the third generation of human rights. The text of this work draws attention to the relationship between the right to peace and other human rights. Considerable importance is attached to enshrining the special right to peace in regional documents on the protection of human rights. It has been found that in the documents of international law, the issue of peace is often mentioned in preambles, as well as in articles outlining the goals and objectives of the activities of international organizations and the world community. The need to establish theright to peace as an independent human right at the level of international documents is analyzed, which, in turn, will help eradicate the practice of justifying violations of peace. The practice of the European Court of Human Rights regarding theviolation of the right to peace was considered.It was clarified and highlighted that although the right to peace is not directly enshrined as a separate and independent human right in the text of the European Convention on Human Rights, the violation of certain enshrined rights entails a violation, in including the guaranteed right to peace. The relationship between the right to peace and human rights is analyzed on the example of specific decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. The position on the need for further research into mechanisms for protecting the human right to peace, especially through the European Court of Human Rights, is highlighted. An opinion has been proposed, according to which enshrining the right of every person to peace in international declarations would be the first step towards its accurate recognition as an independent human right in the international arena. The position of the need to protect humanity’s right to peace is also highlighted, as such protection will be key for all humanity and will guarantee compliance with human rights standards. It is concluded that effective judicial protection of the human rightto peace will be offered in the future in view of further fruitful research in this area.
