Abstract

The legal aspects of the protection of human rights are determined. It is characterized that an important place among the wide range of problems that legal science deals with today belongs to the problem of protecting human rights. The level of ensuring human rights and freedoms is determined by the development of mechanisms and the development of means, measures and procedures used in the protection and protection of human rights and freedoms, which allows us to talk about the security and safety of the individual in the state. The current state and problems of the implementation of the protection of human rights are considered. A generalized analysis of issues regulating the protection of natural human rights is carried out, and their limitation is impossible in any conditions. The vital activity of citizens in the conditions of martial law requires the improvement of the protection of human rights, which makes the perspective of the problem and forms vectors for further research.

The issue of the protection of human rights, which is embedded in the key norms of international humanitarian law, which protects a person from the consequences of war and concerns each of us, is revealed, but it is still not well known to people. The mechanism of observance and implementation of the norms of international humanitarian law is within the framework of international legal measures aimed at intensifying interstate cooperation in order to ensure the commitments made at the international level, i.e. is carried out within the normative organizational limits of implementation at the international level. Attention is drawn to the fact that the system of a complex of such regulatory and procedural measures includes control measures that underlie and act as an essential element of the international mechanism for the protection of human rights. However, human rights are not only a means and a way to protect an individual from any encroachment. Human rights are the main nerve of social development, state structure, relationships between society, man and the state.
