CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGAL MECHANISM FOR ENSURING RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF A PERSON AND A CITIZEN: CONCEPTS AND DIRECTIONS TO ACT
Abstract
One of the indicators of the fulfillment of international obligations by the state in the field of human rights is the perfect definition of the mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. The purpose of this article is to clarify the concepts and directions of the constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. The methodological basis of the conducted research is the general methods of scientific cognitivism as well as concerning those used in legal science: methods of analysis and synthesis, formal logic, comparative law etc. The rights and freedoms of a person are complex. Structural elements of the human rights protection mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the legal framework of human rights, the system of human rights guarantees, and the system of human rights protection. Such legal phenomena as the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens and the constitutional and legal mechanism of ensuring the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens are not identical. Only the mechanism of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens contains both social and legal conditions and means that ensure the realization, protection and security of citizens' rights and freedoms. The definition of the concept of constitutional and legal mechanism for ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen has been clarified: this is the system of organizational and legal and legal means of influence, through which opportunities for the implementation of rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen are created, and in case of violation or threat of violation, their protection is exercised by the bodies which are not vested with jurisdiction and the protection of bodies vested with jurisdiction. The main activities of this mechanism are embodied into the forms of ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen: ensuring the implementation, protection and security of these rights and freedoms
