Abstract

Observance of the employee’s right to access information is important because the priority direction of state policy is the formation of a democratic country, which presupposes a strict observance of inalienable human rights and freedoms, maintenance of the rule of law and democracy. This study contributes to the development of the national legal system, protection of human rights, and preparation of Ukraine for integration into the European legal framework. It is necessary to take into account and adapt European standards to ensure fair and effective mechanisms for protecting employees’ rights. Therefore, the study of the ECHR cases on the employee’s information right can help Ukraine to adapt its legislation and judicial practice to European standards, which is a necessary step towards joining the European Union.
