The article investigates constitutional legal relations and state legal relations as legal relations united by the common subject of legal regulation and different in purposes and methods of legal regulation. Constitutional legal relations are considered as relations aimed at building the rule of law state, recognition, observance and protection of human rights and freedoms. State-legal relations are aimed primarily at the implementation of public interests. The author concludes that the result of formation of legal relations is significantly influenced by the applied methods of legal regulation. Constitutional legal relations are formed on the basis of the application of such methods as: 1) restriction of interference of public authorities in regulation of human rights and freedoms; 2) self-regulation on issues of own competence of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and bodies of local self-government; 3) the contractual method of regulation on matters falling within the joint competence; 4) delegation of exclusive powers to the lower level of public authority. State-legal relations differ due to the application of the following methods: 1) detailed regulation and restriction of human rights and freedoms in order to realize public interests; 2) legislative delegation of powers on issues of joint jurisdiction; 3) redistribution of powers in favor of the higher level of public authority.The development of constitutional and state-legal relations in modern legal reality is possible only in the context of competition of applied methods of legal regulation. The constitutional norm enforced mainly by state-legal methods is implemented in state-legal relations and excludes the construction of constitutional legal relations. The prevalence of state-legal methods can lead to the construction of pseudo-parallel constitutional legal relations, i.e. legal relations that do not affect the existing legal reality. On the contrary, the preferential application of constitutional and legal methods can be considered as a guarantee of impossibility of abuse of state legal methods in the process of enforcement of public interests.

The article analyzes the problems of implementation of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights by Ukraine. In this context, too, the key problems and peculiarities of the current state of implementation of Ukraine’s judgments of the European Court of Human Rights are highlighted. It is emphasized that the enforcement of judgments by Ukraine is an important guarantee of ensuring the right to a fair trial. However, the lack of proper enforcement is recognized by the European Court of Human Rights as a violation of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. It is emphasized that the problematic issue in the implementation of ECHR decisions is that the state executor, as a representative of the public authority, receives a salary from the State Budget of Ukraine, but is obliged, according to executive documents, to act against his state. Thanks to the planned reform of the State Bailiffs’ Service of Ukraine, it is envisaged to create a private system of enforcement of court decisions, since a non-governmental institution would not be more effective in this case. The problem of determining the location of the collector by the ECtHR is considered. It is suggested that in order to find out the location (location) of the collector, in accordance with the ECtHR decision, a special procedure should be provided, a list of necessary actions to be taken by a state body. In particular, such actions may be sending requests to the last known place of work. It is emphasized that legal and political risks for Ukraine are that the violating state may be subject to various sanctions, such as deprivation of voting rights or suspension of membership, up to and including exclusion from the Council of Europe. It is proved that the source of inefficient work of the executive service should be sought, first of all, in imperfect legal regulation, numerous legislative restrictions, and insufficient state costs for the implementation of ECtHR decisions. The experience of Germany on the practice of implementing ECtHR decisions is considered and it is proposed to borrow the experience of foreign countries in the current situation. It is noted that an important step of Ukraine towards European statehood is to increase the level of national protection of citizens and to adopt a law that provides for the accountability of public authorities and their officials for inaction in the implementation of ECtHR decisions. Keywords: European Court of Human Rights, Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, judgment, enforcement, general measures.

Delegation of authority itself, as an element of the system of relations in the sphere of local self-government, is one of the most difficult, since the completeness of the competences of local self-government bodies and their resource provision occupy a central place in the scientific discourse on this issue. The legal and organizational support of delegation is also unstable today from the point of view of the completeness of the mechanisms of administrative and legal regulation of this direction of the implementation of the right to self- government by communities. In the context of the administrative reform, the consolidation of administrative-territorial units, the stimulation of the creation of united territorial communities, the question of finding the most optimal model for organizing delegation, as a process of redistribution of powers, acquires particular relevance and importance. The aim of the research is to study the formation of legal regulation of delegation of powers in the system of local self- government in Ukraine. The article defines the content of legal regulation, which is characterized by such elements as form, subject and methods.

Abstract In this paper, I will examine the extent to which the common law of tort in England and Wales imposes a duty to prevent harm on public authorities and private individuals. As will be seen, the starting point for the common law is that such liability should, in both cases, be regarded as exceptional. This must, however, be weighed against duties to prevent harm that arise under the torts of negligence and breach of statutory duty. Public authorities may also face claims that their failure to prevent harm is in breach of ECHR arts 2 or 3. While the law is complex, this paper identifies three key arguments that explain the current legal position at common law, namely that: (i) tort law should treat private and public parties alike: (ii) human rights claims should be treated as distinct from private law claims and (iii) libertarian concerns signify that a duty to prevent harm should be exceptional and needs to be justified. While these arguments provide both an explanation of and a justification for the current law, this article questions to what extent the treatment of public authority liability may be regarded as unduly harsh on vulnerable claimants.

This paper is a comprehensive study of the problems of criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The relevance of this subject lies in the systematic violations of constitutional human rights and freedoms and the inaction of the criminal law in such cases. Nowadays, the criminal law as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in national and international law is described by imperfection in its adaptation to rapidly changing social relations, which, accordingly, leads to problems in their legal protection. There are various reasons for this in the legal sphere, such as gaps in the legal provisions, conflicts of legal regulation and inconsistency of the rules of legislation with existing public relations in the state. All of the above determines the relevance of the subject matter of this study. Thus, the purpose of this study was a comprehensive analysis of theoretical and applied issues relating to the remedies for human rights and legitimate interests against socially dangerous encroachments, and the formulation of scientifically sound proposals for improving the current legislation of Ukraine and the practice of its application in this area. Ultimately, this study identified the legal characteristics of human rights and freedoms at both the national and international levels. The remedies for rights were demonstrated through the lens of criminal law. In addition, the study analysed the forms of implementation of international practice in the national legislation of Ukraine as a remedy for human rights and freedoms in the modern world. The significance of the results of this study was expressed in the further research of related subjects concerning this issue, namely the history of the development of EU criminal law standards and the historical establishment of the concept of human and citizen rights and legitimate interests. Furthermore, the materials of this study can be used in the preparation of educational materials, methodological recommendations, as well as training in various fields of legal science. This, in turn, will allow properly using the criminal law protection of human rights and freedoms without violations on the part of criminal justice bodies

ONE feature of the current debate concerning the term “public authority” in the Human Rights Act 1998 is a rule to the effect that public authorities are not themselves capable of having and enforcing Convention rights. In what follows this will be referred to as the “rights-restriction rule”. The position was confirmed by the House of Lords in Aston Cantlow and has been given effect by the courts in relation to English local authorities and to NHS Trusts in Scotland. Despite this, doubts have been expressed. In particular the parliamentary Joint Committee has suggested, though without argument, that the denial of Convention rights to public authorities may be wrong in principle and that there are “circumstances in which public authorities have Convention rights”.

Following on from earlier consideration of this issue by the same authors in the 1980s, this article examines the principles governing the negligence liability of public authorities as articulated in recent cases, and in particular the decisions of the House of Lords in X v. Bedfordshire, Stovin v. Wise and Barrett v. Enfield London Borough Council. It concludes that the various attempts to establish special principles to govern such liability have been misguided, and that the courts have proved too willing to reject claims on the basis of questionable policy considerations, to the extent that a blanket immunity might appear to have been established in some contexts. Ultimately, this approach has brought the United Kingdom into conflict with its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. It is argued that ordinary private law principles provide a wholly appropriate basis for reconciling the legitimate interests of public authorities with the need to accord justice to individual litigants.

ABSTRACT Private detectives have been providing their services in Lithuania for about a decade; however, only now has the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania started to discuss whether it is expedient and necessary to regulate the activities of private detectives by means of a separate law. One of the goals of a separate legal regulation of private detective activities is the protection of human rights, particularly the right to privacy. This article examines the provisions of national and international legislative acts related to the private life of a person, and assesses the opportunities of a private detective to provide private detective services without prejudice to the provisions of applicable legislative acts. The article concludes that a private detective is not an authorized (public) authority and there is no possibility to assess in each case whether the interests of a person using the services of private detectives are more important than those of other persons, which would allow for violating their rights to private life. The limits of an individual’s right to privacy can only be narrowed by a particular person, giving consent to making public the details of his/her private life. It is the only opportunity for a private detective to gather information related to the private life of a citizen. Currently applicable legislative acts in Lithuania do not provide for opportunities for private subjects to collect personal data without that person’s consent. This right is granted only to public authorities and with the court’s permission

Modern Information

The article examines the role of legal communication in ensuring human rights. It is noted that the study of legal communication in the modern information space forms a modern postclassical legal understanding, which is focused on ensuring the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens. Legal communication acts as a means of ensuring dialogue between the state and citizens, as a regulatory and socio-constructive factor of social development. According to recent research, the doctrine of human rights is developing on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach to such sciences as philosophy, theory and history of state and law, political science, linguistics, information theory and more. The introduction of information and communication technologies in all spheres of society presupposes the study of the communicative properties of law, in particular legal communication. Given the increased attention to the problems of the effectiveness of law, the definition of its functional purpose, there is a need to study the role of legal communication in ensuring human rights. Human rights are a common value of civil society and the state, they determine their relationship, and ensuring the implementation and protection of human rights is their common task. A manifestation of such interaction is the legal communication between the state and civil society. The study of legal communication in the modern information space forms a modern postclassical legal understanding, which is focused on ensuring the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens. The renewal of legal relations, first of all between the state and society, requires scientific substantiation and introduction of new forms of communication. Legal communication in this case acts as a means of ensuring dialogue between the state and citizens, as a regulatory and socio-constructive factor of social development. At the stage of transition to the information and legal society, the relationship between legal communication and legal regulation changes. Legal communication acquires an independent meaning in relation to legal regulation, which itself becomes a system, a derivative element of legal communication. Іt is proved that legal communication contributes to the formation of legal values in the modern information space, a positive perception of law, the formation of the legal consciousness of the subjects of communication, the improvement of the legal mechanism for the protection of human rights. Legal communication acquires an independent meaning in relation to legal regulation, which itself becomes a system, a derivative element of legal communication. The effectiveness of legal communication in ensuring human rights is ensured by observance of the principles of the rule of law, legality, publicity, democracy, and universality. Keywords: human rights, legal communication, information society, information security.
