The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the fact that today in Ukraine the state mechanisms for the protection of national values, which are actively developing in the member states of the European Union, in particular in the field of international law, are not functioning effectively enough. Our European partners implement the protection of national values through their organizational and institutional state mechanisms, counting on the entire range of assistance within the EU. The purpose of this article is to study the system of formation of the protection of national values in the member states of the European Union, which ensures the development of a democratic legal state and its public administration. As a result, the dualism of the system of protection of national values in the member states of the European Union was investigated, which does not mean the mutual absorption of organizational or institutional state mechanisms or the primacy of one over the other. The system of protection of national values should be perceived as an expanded range of capabilities of the EU member states, which are united by a single civilizational dimension and have a completely material basis for building basic interaction among themselves. After all, the majority of EU member states are mononational, although in the context of the global migration trend, large ethnic groups from African and Asian countries are constantly entering the territory of the EU, which brings relevant features to the process of formation and implementation of internal state policy. The utilitarian nature of the EU and the system of international legal norms that the Union implements through its organizational and institutional mechanisms is that member states can always count on the entire range of assistance, including in the context of ensuring sustainable development and protecting the system of national values. After all, for the EU and its members, the category of "national values" is taken absolutely literally, that is, in relation to each individual member state, such a system has its own expression and uniqueness. Thus, it should be stated that the EU has its own system of basic values, which have been expressed both in separate legal acts and in the general idea of the European community. The latter is enshrined in the preamble of the Treaty on the European Union, where even the unity of the cultural, religious space and common historical past is reflected.
