Abstract

The article discusses how Ukraine is following international rules for protecting social and human rights. International human rights standards establish a list of rights and freedoms that all states-participants of relevant conventions must have.

It can be used to formulate the essential features of each of the freedoms and rights that must be enshrined in the relevant constitutional and other regulatory provisions of national legislation; to establish the duties of states to acknowledge and protect the declared freedoms and rights, as well as to introduce the most important international guarantees that determine their reality; and to establish the terms under which the freedoms and rights linked to legitimate restrictions, such as prohibitions, can be used.

It describes how social rights are implemented. Only when a number of requirements are satisfied is it feasible. In particular, the state actively participates in protecting the individual's social rights by establishing the organizational, informational, economic, and legal framework necessary for their implementation while also playing the part of a social relation subject.

A person's legal status, the framework of international law, and national legal systems all depend on their social rights.

State policy and the state must continuously monitor a social right. The government must take action to ensure that social norms are followed to the letter and establish strong defenses. They must use various methods to assist people in order to ensure that they have rights and adhere to certain regulations.
