Disaster Protection Education and Training Concepts and Policies

In the context of natural human rights, the foundation of the modern state, as well as the systems approach, relevant basic concepts and state policies have been generated to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training. Their goals for increasing the effectiveness of officials training in the state and local administration, as well as the population for disaster and crisis response, are substantiated. An organizational-cultural approach to the formation of an appropriate, citizen engaging, cultural model for more effective achievement of these goals has been considered. As an important system-forming element, a key regulatory framework for disaster protection, which must be known and applied by the state and local administration, as well as the population, is analyzed. On this basis, necessary and relevant concepts and policies to increase the effectiveness of disaster and crisis protection education and training are derived and substantiated.

Affections of Hurricane OTIS and Its Impact on Human Rights

The fury of Hurricane OTIS on October 24, 2023 exposed pre-existing social inequalities and inequities in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. OTIS also evidenced the omissions before the hurricane, the abandonment during the hurricane and the inabilities after the hurricane of the authorities in charge of protecting society. The actions of the three levels of government were reprehensible before and after the impact of the hurricane. First, because there was no timely warning plan, the places of refuge were not made known, much less the level of destruction that the hurricane would cause. And after the hurricane, there was no response plan or protocols to respond to the most basic needs and protect citizens. This work was carried out under an inductive-deductive method in which a documentary review of national and international legislation was carried out, as well as literature related to the topic of research on natural disasters and human rights after Hurricane OTIS in Acapulco, Guerrero. , Mexico. The problems that subsequently prevailed and that affected the human rights of citizens were primarily the lack of prevention, safety and security, health, work, housing, public services, pollution and unequal access in the provision of aid. Definitely, aid in an emergency situation due to a natural disaster must be based on the perspective of human rights in order to provide relevant and effective assistance that fully meets all the basic needs of the victims for their prompt recovery and reconstruction.

Out of Time

Versions of many of the same global ethics issues currently on people’s minds sparked my initial interest in Kant’spractical philosophy half a century ago -- e.g., international justice, war and peace, the natural environment, artificial intelligence,and human rights. Although it would be wildly imprudent to suppose that Kantian theory should serve as a precise blueprint forcontemporary policy, I do believe that we today can still learn a great deal from Kant’s perspective on global ethics. In this essay,after briefly articulating his own views on these global ethics issues, I offer some Kantian reflections on why we have unfortunatelymade so little progress in resolving them.

The Essence and Legal Nature of Political Rights and Freedoms in the System of Other Human Rights

Examines the essence and problems of determining the legal nature of political rights and freedoms in the system of other human and civil rights from the point of view of the theory of natural and positive human rights; The doctrines of scientists regarding the classification of political rights, their criteria, correlation with personal, socio-economic rights are revealed within the framework of constitutional legal personality. The author concludes that, unlike other fundamental rights, political rights and freedoms, while not being absolute rights, are mainly associated with the institution of citizenship; implemented in an individual and collective format, and the essence of these rights depends on the level of development of the democratic mechanisms of the state, in creating the necessary conditions for the active participation of citizens in the management of affairs of state and public importance.

Adult Bioethics and Pedagogy in Rehabilitation Centre Practice: Neuroethical Factors

This article reviews the scientific research related to the appropriate use of partial deprivation of natural ethics for drug rehabilitation in a specialized centre. The article’s significance stems from the alarming increase in drug addiction, its widespread availability and the conflicting perspectives within the realms of andragogy, bioethics and neuroethics. The latter specifically pertains to the core of human identity. The article aims to synthesize scientific viewpoints on the problem in question, delineate the neuro- and bioethical realities within individual rehabilitation centres, contrast them with the multi-faceted ethical considerations and evaluate the usefulness of limiting certain natural rights of the client (denying sensory gratification) for therapeutic reasons. The authors of the article experienced limited access to information because of the extended, isolated nature of rehabilitation, in addition to ethical considerations. Therefore, the principal data collection methods included andragogical observations, monitoring of clients’ neurophysiological responses and conditions, examination of diaries maintained by centre staff, interviews with them and occasional questionnaires administered to clients. The analysis involved a neurophysiological interpretation of data without the use of specialized equipment, a summarization of questionnaire findings and an assessment of morally relevant phenomena to gauge their appropriateness and acceptability. The obtained results indicated that ethical considerations regarding interventions in the human body and psyche are indeed pertinent. Nevertheless, these decisions are frequently circumstantial, centring on the central ambition of the article: to alert rehabilitation professionals, medical personnel and legal authorities to the requirement for agreement between the violation of natural human rights and the essential human right to redemption, even in the more severe stages (III-IV) of addiction.

WEAKNESS AS A PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT AND LEGAL CATEGORY

The article is devoted to the most complex, little-studied in jurisprudence and the theory of civil law, deep-seated issues of protecting the weakness in delicate and other legal relations. The authors proceed from the fact that the effectiveness of the protection of the weakness is based on its holistic understanding of both legal and philosophical categories. Based on this, the authors draw a philosophical-semantic and lexical-legal analogy between this category and the category of a weak subject, its semantic conditionality from such philosophical categories as personality, self-worth of a person. It is proposed to consider the category of the weakness from the standpoint of its static and dynamic states, the conditionality of the effectiveness of its protection in the post-Soviet society from the development and state of effectiveness of formal institutions, as well as the ideological and value attitude of Kazakhstan society to the fundamental principles of the rule of law, formal equality and social justice The authors separately highlight the dependence of legal protection of a weak subject on the extent to which Kazakhstan's socio-legal reality realizes: a) the conditionality of a person from society, on the one hand; and b) his natural-biological and cognitive self-sufficiency, on the other. In this context, the authors make some retrospective analysis of the state of natural human rights in Kazakhstan of the Soviet period, reveal the nature and essence of the category "I". According to the authors, the category "I" in post-classical reality is a key element of such self-sufficiency. It is on the basis of their unity that reflection, comprehension and concepts of self-awareness and self-knowledge, self-identity, respect for self and other, society and the state should be built.

Historical retrospective of the formation of the institution of autonomy and self-determination of peoples

This article examines the evolution of the concept of the right of nations to self-determination from the ideas of the Enlightenment to the modern enshrinement in international law. It traces the genesis of the ideas of popular sovereignty and natural human rights in such thinkers as Locke, Grotius, Vattel and Rousseau. The key stages of formation of the institution of national autonomy are analyzed: national liberation movements of the XVIII-XIX centuries, the activities of the League of Nations, the formation of the system of minority protection within the UN. Particular attention is paid to international documents that enshrined the right to self-determination - the UN Charter, Declarations, Covenants on Human Rights. Controversial issues of correlation of this principle with the territorial integrity of states are considered. It substantiates the relevance of finding compromise solutions to ensure stability in the realization of the right to self-determination through various forms of autonomy and the formation of new states.

Researching the issues of legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine is important for the further improvement of environmental legislation, as well as for the improvement of law enforcement practice in this area. As a result of this research, the problems of legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine and its elements are important for the development of the sciences of constitutional, administrative and environmental law. The article is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine. In this article legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine is characterized. In the context of the modern European integration of Ukraine, the evolution of human rights, the development of civil society, environmental problems in Ukraine, including those caused by the military actions of the aggressor, the study of the legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine is of great practical and theoretical importance. Ensuring the effective functioning of the ecological network of Ukraine, including the protection of the environment, overcoming the negative consequences of damage to the environment caused by hostilities, prompt demining of de-occupied territories, is an important element for the effective functioning of the system of natural human rights in Ukraine, among which the right for a safe environment for life and health in Ukraine. The concept of "legal regulation of the ecological network in Ukraine” can be defined as a system of norms and principles of law aimed at regulating social relations by legal norms in the field of formation, preservation and rational, tireless use of the ecological network in Ukraine as one of the main prerequisites for ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine, protection of the environment, protection of flora and fauna, nature conservation areas, satisfaction of ecological, economic, social and other interests of individual citizens, society, territorial communities and the state. The elements of the ecological network of Ukraine includes: key, connecting, buffer and renewable territories.

The Ethical Line Connecting Hieroglyphics to Hyperlinks

In this day and age, societies are disrupted and their order is unraveled at an unprecedented pace due to accelerating technological and societal change. Millions of people and countless communities are faced with hitherto unknown and complex conditions, on a breathtaking scale. This reality requires creating more societal knowledge, faster than ever before. Such knowledge-creation will be significantly enhanced if it relies on civilizational dialogue and shared wisdom across religious, national, ethnic, and political lines. This article points to a surprisingly inspiring story in contending with such challenges – which is the biblical story about the gladiatorial clash in ancient Egypt between Pharaoh, the demi-god representing polytheism and ancient Egypt’s caste-based society; and Moses, the teacher-leader of the enslaved Hebrews, representing monotheism and the ethos of natural universal human rights. That clash was a turning point in human history because the victory of monotheism over idolatry allowed for the inception and evolution of constitutional and legal systems that were based on the notion of fundamental equality among all humans. Moses is one of the most influential historical figures in human history, whose legacy continues to inspire billions of Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others. The issues that underlie his bout with Pharaoh – justice vs. idolatry, equality vs. privilege, and freedom vs. bondage – continue to challenge and shape our modern societies. Therefore, Moses’s outlook remains the cornerstone of any modern worldview that embraces diversity and advances tolerance.

Exploring the nexus between law and morality: ethical considerations in legal studies

This publication aims to furnish a comprehensive examination of the ethical elements inherent in the roles of judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and notaries, elucidating their influence on the content of pertinent legal statutes governing the professional status of these legal vocations. The research employed various methodologies, encompassing the analytical method, the synthetic method, the method of scientific generalization, the method of interpreting legal norms, and the formal-logical method. The examination of legal understanding from a moral and ethical perspective involves the scrutiny of two principal concepts: the concept of natural law and the concept of legal positivism. This analytical framework enables the author to assert that a hallmark of progressive law-making lies in the adherence to not only the tenets of natural human rights but also moral and ethical principles during the formulation of legislative acts. In the context of the role and significance of ethics in the professional conduct of judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and notaries, the author undertakes an analysis of pertinent Ukrainian laws. It is asserted that within each of the examined legal enactments, ethical requirements assume a predominant role in the regulation of the legal status of practitioners in the specified legal professions. For instance, the non-violation of rules of professional ethics is delineated as a fundamental duty for specific categories of legal practitioners, with breaches serving as grounds not only for disciplinary consequences but also for the termination of the authority. Building upon the aforementioned observations, it is affirmed that the ethical dimensions of jurisprudence hold significance within contemporary legal discourse across three dimensions: adherence to moral and ethical principles in the crafting of legislative instruments; avoidance of breaches against ethical principles in the course of judicial, prosecutorial, attorney-at-law, and notarial activities; and the imperative that moral and ethical requirements remain inviolate during the preparation of legally consequential documents.

The right to legitimate harm as a natural human right: reflections on the legal nature of circumstances that exclude the criminal wrongfulness of an act

In the article, the right of a person to harm law enforcement interests in the presence of the actual composition of circumstances that exclude the criminal wrongfulness of an act is considered as a natural human right. A person, in the event of damage to law-enforcement interests, realizes the legitimacy of such natural rights as the right to happiness, the right to life, the right to health, the right to honor and dignity. Universal in this case is the right to happiness (personal and/or social), which can be pursued by a person in the event of harm in the presence of any circumstance that excludes the criminal wrongfulness of the act. The right to harm law enforcement interests in the presence of circumstances in the actions of a person that exclude the criminal wrongfulness of an act is realized through the possibilities of natural human rights, and the powers themselves derive from natural law. Given the methodological approach of social naturalism, the unlawful behavior of a sociopathic person, which is characterized by a complex of arbitrariness and illusions, causes the emergence of a state of one of the circumstances that excludes the criminal wrongfulness of the act, is a kind of trigger mechanism for the reverse reaction of the person to whom such unlawful behavior is addressed. In view of the fact that in this way the protection of natural human rights takes place, and the behavior itself meets the requirements put forward by the legislator to some of the circumstances that exclude the criminal wrongfulness of the act, the consciousness and will of a person who harms law-enforcement interests are not in a state of anomie, such a person lacks a complex of arbitrariness and illusions, and the person himself is not sociopathic. In the case of an excess in the defense of their natural rights, when there is a damage that clearly does not correspond to the danger that threatens this person, consciousness and will are struck by a complex of arbitrariness and illusions, and for such unlawful actions a sociopathic person is brought to criminal responsibility.

The relationship of human rights and freedoms in the context of justice

The problem of interrelation and interdependence of various human and civil rights and freedoms in the light of the concept of social justice is investigated. The problem of a fair measure of human and civil rights and freedoms is considered, it is argued that a fair measure of rights and freedoms in any sphere of human activity should initially proceed from the idea of natural human rights to life, freedom and property, but this measure should be conditioned by the concrete historical realities of a given society. The author considers social justice as a measure of freedom. In the course of researching issues related to the problem of human rights and freedoms, the author proceeds from the theoretical position that all economic, political and spiritual rights and freedoms are interrelated and mutually conditioned. The author explores the problem of human rights and freedoms and social justice using the principle of development, an axiological approach and a criterion of practice. The author explores various aspects of freedom from the point of view of the concept of social justice, in the context of the relationship between freedom and responsibility, rights and duties. The problem of various human rights and freedoms is studied by the author in the context of their interrelation and interdependence. It is argued that the basis of political and spiritual freedom is, first of all, economic freedom, but at the same time the value of spiritual and political rights and freedoms in themselves is emphasized. The author interprets the problem of human rights and freedoms and social justice as tools in reflecting the realities of the modern world and tries to identify ideas in them that can be used in modern society to solve existing problems in it. The problem requires further investigation.

헌법정신과 인권에 관한 연구

In relation to social contract, T. Hobbes is significant in that he presented the prototype of modern contract theory, but there is a limits in that it is necessary to have a state dominated by a ruler with absolute power to guarantee human rights. In order to solve this problem, J. Locke proposed a new social contract theory by transferring the sovereignty from the state to the people. In this way, it can be seen that there is a big difference between the national identity and the human view proposed by Hobbes and Locke, and the way of guaranteeing human rights accordingly. If Hobbes is a legal positivism and pragmatism based on the state, Locke is approaching from the point of view of natural human rights before the state. The idea of natural rights is based on 「the Virginia Bill of Rights」(1776. 6), 「the Declaration of Independence」(1776. 7) in America, 「the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen」(1789) in France, and 「the Declaration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights」(1948) of the United Nations. It is also reflected in 「the Constitution of the Republic of Korea」(1948) and has related regulations. However, since the establishment of the government of the Republic of Korea, human rights have been infringed in the name of maintaining public well-being and order in the unstable political system and political dynamics. This problem has already been foreseen in the Constitution of the First Republic, which stipulates individual legal provisions related to the restriction of basic rights, and since then amendments to the Constitution have been made several times, but this problem has not been solved under the long-term military regime. Fortunately, the 6th Republic Constitution(1987~present), which was finally revised, is meaningful in that the governing system has been reorganized and the provisions for guaranteeing basic rights have been considerably newly established and added. However, if the ruling party to which the president belongs fails to secure a majority of seats in the National Assembly, there is no institutional mechanism to coordinate the instability of the state administration and political conflicts, which raises concerns that the fundamental rights of the people are not properly guaranteed. For this reason, the claim that the basic rights required by the times should be guaranteed through the amendment of the Constitution coexists with the prudence of this, and therefore, national and social consensus should be made once again at this time.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE IDEA OF NATURAL RIGHTS

Based on the findings of other publications, this paper attempts to assess whether the ideas of natural rights and human rights can be understood as identical. The first part of the paper outlines, from a historical perspective, the idea of natural rights; the second part presents elements of the conception of human rights. The third part sets out arguments against considering these two ideas as equivalent. The assumption that a better understanding of the conception of human rights can be obtained by demonstrating its relationship with other ideas will contribute to achieving the objective.

John Paul II, the right to life and abortion

John Paul II formulated the prohibition of killing an innocent person in terms of natural Human Rights. He advocated in favour of the right to life of unborn children, through diplomacy and action at the United Nations. The Polish Pope opposed both the claims and the methods of the pro-abortion lobby. This article examines news of this worldwide battle, analysing both Human Rights Law and the power relations surrounding abortion. Nearly thirty years after the Cairo Conference (1994), unborn children have not been excluded from the protection of the right to life and an international obligation to legalize abortion has never been created. However, the assaults of the pro-abortion lobby are as strong as during the 1990s. The entryism of this lobby has even created dysfunctions in the international institutions themselves, thus affecting and losing their impartiality.

Features of the imple¬mentation of the principle of the rule of law in the context of the contemporary challenges of democracy in the conditions of war in Ukraine

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of the principle of "rule of law” in the context of challenges of democracy under the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. The main force majeure decisions of state authorities are outlined within quantitative and chronological limits in the context of ensuring the coherence and continuity of the fulfillment assumed by them obligations, and with unconditional observance of the principle of the rule of law. The efforts of the native legislator to provide a formal definition of the definition of «rule of law» in comparison with its international counterpart, which is enshrined in the soft law documents of the Venice Commission, are separately analyzed.
 The authors found out that despite the impressive percentage of implementation of the government's Plan of measures to implement the Association Agreement, in Ukraine, under the conditions of martial law, constitutional rights and human freedoms are temporarily restricted, including: the right to inviolability of housing, to freedom of movement, to freedom of thought and speech, to free expression of one's views and beliefs, rights and legitimate interests of legal entities, etc. At the same time, despite the real existence of the listed restrictions, the latter in no way refer to the limitation of absolute (natural) human rights and freedoms. In the conclusions to the article, it is justified and confirmed that the principle of the rule of law continues to apply even to those rights and freedoms that are limited.
 In order to obtain reliable scientific results and introduce new information to the theory fund, this study used a set of scientific principles and approaches based on general scientific, worldview and special legal methods of cognition, in particular, it refers to such methods as: systemic, hermeneutic, historical - legal, functional and comparative. The empirical basis of the research was made up of national and international legal acts.

Principles and Metaphysics of Modernity: Towards Modernization in Yakutia

In the 21st century, an urgent topic is the assessment of the dynamics of cultural development of ethnic groups living in the natural and climatic conditions of the North and the Arctic and bearing conservatism towards their traditional culture, which has become the basis for centuries of survival and adaptive flexibility. In the period of total relativization of postmodern values, the task of making a balanced choice in one’s spiritual heritage and historical practice remains important. The aim of the article is to identify the potential of modernity for ethnic cultures of the North-East of Russia, which experienced incomplete modernization on the wave of bourgeois transformations and Soviet socio-cultural modernization in the 19th—20th centuries, to determine the options for the development of modern culture against the background of the deadlock of postmodernity, which constrained the productive options for the development of “culture of traditions” by the phenomena of global mass culture.The general scientific methods and the method of symbolic ontologisation of culture, explicating the synthesis of interaction of symbolic constructs of metaphysical and mythological nature, underlying the regularities of ethno-cultural dynamics in the aesthetic sphere and organic modernization transformations in general, have been applied.It is shown that the metaphysics of modernity determines the dynamic stability of ethnoculture, allowing to realize its undiscovered potential through the principles of modernity, independently reproduce these principles, making the transition of ethnos from the culture of mimesis to the culture of the birth of primordiality. The quality of modernity gives the Sakha a sense of metaphysical continuity with the stages of evolution of European culture, freeing them from mythological predetermination of fate, including by intensive innovative knowledge-intensive economy. The synthetic synergy of “ethno” and “modern” reveals the potential for cultural growth institutionalized by the paradigm of ethnomodernity, which resolves the contradictions of modernity, bringing ethnoculture to the idea of socio-cultural and scientific-technological development, dignity and natural human rights.

Implementation of the principle of people's power as a way of participation in the administration of justice

The publication examines the doctrinal principles on the forms of direct democracy and the existing problems regarding the exercise of power by the people. Based on the historical perspective of the analysis of European legislation in this area, ways of improving the Basic Law of Ukraine are proposed.
 It was established that, despite the insignificant and contradictory support of the thinkers of the ancient world and the Middle Ages regarding the need to recognize the right of the people to cancel the legislative acts of the representative bodies of the state, this idea received significant development precisely in the era of the New Age, when the proclamation of people's rule was accompanied by the establishment of parliamentarism, the authority and trust of which is constantly fell among the common people. It has been proven that the essence of such judgments was that modern democracy is based on the idea of popular sovereignty, that is, on the need to create such a system of state-legal relations that would ensure the primacy of law in all spheres of social relations and enable the people to exercise their right to be the source and basis state power precisely because of various forms of political participation in the state management of the country, one of which is participation in the exercise of judicial power.
 It has been determined that the views of thinkers in support of forms of people's power boil down to the fact that the right to limit state power is recognized as an inalienable, natural human right that belongs to them from birth. Therefore, people's power itself is one of the means related to the system of checks and balances, and therefore helps not only the normal functioning of state authorities by exercising control over the actions of their representatives, but also the direct exercise of power by the people, which thereby helps to ensure the principle of popular sovereignty.
 It has been established that today the practice of applying forms of direct democracy is significantly ahead of theoretical developments in this area. This very issue is voluminous, and at the same time there are a large number of gaps and contradictions in the possibility of constitutional consolidation of new forms of people's rule.

CIVIL LAW AND LABOR CONTRACT: ECONOMIC AND LEGAL DIMENSION

The subject of the study is the conceptual, theoretical, methodological and applied legal and economic principles of the nature and significance of civil law and labour contracts in public life. Methodology. The research is based on general scientific and special legal methods. The analysis helped to determine the quantitative and qualitative parameters which characterise civil law and employment contract as socio-economic and legal phenomena in modern society. The synthesis provided for the formation of common and distinctive features inherent in civil law and employment contract in modern society. With the help of the comparative legal method it was possible to distinguish the characteristic features of the civil law and labour contract in the economic sphere and the legal consolidation of the above categories in modern international and national legislation on the basis of the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the corresponding origin. The formal-legal method created the conditions for the formulation of conclusions on the effectiveness of the normative consolidation of the principle of freedom of contract within the limits of civil and labour legislation and for the determination of relevant regulatory proposals. The purpose of the article is to define the essence and significance of civil law and employment contracts in the economic and legal sphere. The results of the study show that the state of legal regulation of temporal restrictions on the exercise of private rights in Ukraine on the way to economic integration creates preconditions for its modernisation in terms of both general and special legal provisions. Conclusion. Contractual relations are one of the most important driving forces of civil turnover, as they mediate the movement of a number of non-property and property goods within civil and economic turnover. Based on the study of statistical data, it has been established that the civil law contract, together with the labour contract, creates conditions for the development of economic processes in quantitative and qualitative components due to its involvement as a means of moving material and immaterial goods in civil and economic turnover. At the same time, a civil law contract, due to its wide variability and direct involvement in certain economic processes, creates more important prerequisites for progress in the economic space, which is manifested in new types and forms of contracts of this type. The labour contract in its component aims, first of all, from the position considered, to ensure the social component in the implementation of the content of the right to work by guaranteeing certain social, including economic, standards. This is why, unlike civil law, labour law influences the economy of the country indirectly and with a much smaller specific weight. In the legal sphere, research into the legal nature and scope of contractual constructs in the civil and labour spheres testifies to the weight of the principle of freedom of contract, which, on the one hand, is established within the limits of civil legislation and, on the other, creates the conditions for the implementation of another, broader principle of freedom of work, which is based on the right of the individual to freedom of work as a natural and inalienable human right. The article points to the possibility of extending the principle of freedom of contract, along with civil law relations, to other related relations, primarily labour relations. Where the manifestation of the content of such a principle is the right holder's authorisation to behave in one of the following ways: 1) procedural (conclusion, amendment, termination of the contract); 2) selection of a counterparty; 3) determination of terms and conditions; 4) determination of the contract content.

Objectives of State Human Rights Protection Activities in the Russian Federation

The paper defines the author’s approach to the concept, types, characteristics of the goals of state human rights protection. In its most general form, human rights protection includes a system of actions carried out by State bodies and organizations, as well as civil society institutions and international organizations, aimed at restoring violated and creating appropriate conditions for implementation of human and citizen rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, as well as collective rights and public interests of groups of citizens, commercial and non-commercial organizations.Researchers propose to distinguish the following types of human rights protection objectives: general and particular; basic and non-basic; final, intermediate and immediate; objectively true and objectively false; real and unreal; timely and untimely; substantive and instrumental. Indeed, the available academic developments on this issue are of great interest, but largely they characterize the human rights objectives enshrined in legislation, rather than practice of human rights protection.The paper elucidates and describes in detail such necessary signs of a human rights protection objective as its humanism, moral validity, social conditionality and legal significance.The classification of the types of human rights objectives is defined; it is proposed to distinguish strategic (general) and tactical (private) objectives; law enforcement, law-making and «law-enlightening» ones; positive and natural law human rights objectives.The paper concludes that there is a need for comprehensive consideration of the goals of human rights protection in legislation and law enforcement practice. It is also indicated that a necessary characteristic of human rights protection is its implementation by specific legal methods that are subject to strict regulation by means of provisions of existing normative legal acts or, in any case, they do not contradict them, and in addition, should not go beyond ethical norms and principles.
