PROTECTION OF PEOPLE’S RIGHTS AS THE BASIC IDEA OF A LEGAL POWER

The article analyzes scientific approaches to the mechanism of human rights protection in Ukraine. It was established that human rights are the greatest achievement of humanity, and the problem of pro- tecting human rights has been relevant since the earliest times of human civilization. It was determined that for many years the concept of «humanitarian intervention» was considered inadmissible, because the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of the state was recognized as inviolable, but gradually representatives of the international community began to consider the concept of «humanitarian interven- «humanitarian interven- humanitarian interven- tion» as legitimate. It has been proven that the right to intervene exists in the case when, in the opinion of a separate state, the invasion is presented to protect the general interests of humanity. The author draws attention to the fact that the main idea of the rule of law is the protection of human rights and their real guarantee by the state.

Atten- tion is focused on the fact that the concept of Western European thinkers about natural rights is necessary for Ukrainian society. The essence of the legal state is analyzed as a state that not only proclaims the rights and freedoms of the individual, but also creates an extensive mechanism for their protection. Features, properties and characteristics of the rule of law, without which a civilized society cannot exist, are consid- ered. It was concluded that the provision and protection of human rights and freedoms, including those of various categories of minorities, having not so much an international legal nature as a domestic one, in the case of improper regulation, actually turns into a serious problem. It is indicated that this can create a threat not only to national security interests, but also to the state and stability of international peace and security. The author determines that without an axiological basis, the system of human rights can not only lose its stability, but also transform into its opposite, especially when the most important value – a person, his life and freedom – is forgotten. It was noted that this issue cannot be effectively resolved without the use of a comprehensive approach, which is expressed in the involvement of the entire arsenal, both do- mestic and international legal means and methods.
