The author of the article examines the state of alcohol, drugs or other intoxication, as well as the influence of drugs that reduce the attention and speed of reaction, as a measure to ensure the proceedings in cases of administrative offenses, and features of legal regulation of its use during documentation of administrative offenses, as well as the admissibility of using the obtained data as evidence in proceedings on administrative offenses. The examination of the state of intoxication is not just a measure to ensure the proceedings in cases of administrative offenses, but a necessary procedural action, which allows to assert the presence in the actions of a person of an administrative offense. It is alleged that an examination of the state of intoxication, in particular of drivers, is possible only if they are detained administratively. It is applied to the documentation of other administrative offenses, the proof of which requires the establishment of a state of intoxication. In other circumstances, such an examination of intoxication should be considered inadmissible evidence in an administrative offense case, since it was obtained in substantial violation of human rights and freedoms, including the right to liberty and security, as well as a number of other rights, which the detained person failed to exercise. It is appropriate that such a security measure as the removal of a driver from driving the vehicle had a procedural form, in this regard, we consider it necessary to supplement the Art. 266 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with Part 8 of the following wording: «On the removal of persons from driving vehicles, river and small vessels authorized officials execute the minutes». We are confident that the offered amendments to the legislation will contribute to the development of administrative tort law, its institutions, which positively affect both the legal system and legislation of independent Ukraine, raising the prestige of its legal system in the world, and serve as a convincing argument for citizens to become victims of arbitrariness of authorities.

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.

The article examines the legal nature of decent wages, assesses the concept of wages through the category of its dignity, fairness and sufficient and decent standard of living, as well as analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of legal regulation of decent wages. Fair and satisfactory remuneration in this study is considered as a guarantee of a dignified existence of the person and his family and is perceived in the context of fair working conditions. The analysis of the concept of a dignified life is analyzed through the prism of constitutional and legal doctrine in the context of the main duty of the state. To this end, the basic international and European standards for ensuring the fundamental human rights to a fair reward, a fair existence and a sufficient standard of living for individuals and their families are considered. The right to fair remuneration is considered through the constitutional provisions of determining the main direction of the state to ensure human rights and freedoms and decent living conditions, recognition of man, his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security of the highest social value and the establishment and protection of human rights human freedoms as the main duty of the state. An analysis of the main legal positions of the court of constitutional jurisdiction on the issues of determining a sufficient and decent standard of living, a decent human life, the minimum requirements for living in conditions worthy of a person and protection from poverty. It is proved that the success of the implementation of the elements of decent work in Ukraine requires coordinated actions of the social partners on the way to guarantee a decent salary as an important factor in the concept of decent work. It is concluded that the concept of "decent pay" is still not established and is in constant development. No normative legal act of Ukraine mentions the concept of "decent pay", so there is an urgent need for its constitutionalization. It is not necessary to limit the wording only to the content of such a concept, but also to determine the conditions and guarantees of compliance, provision and protection.

The place and role of state intelligence bodies in the mechanism of ensuring constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen according to international standards and in the light of the newly adopted Laws of Ukraine «On the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine» and «On Intelligence» are studied. It is proved that in Ukraine, as in other post-Soviet states that did not have intelligence legislation, but began to create it after the declaration of independence, the process of constitutional and legal regulation of intelligence agencies consisted of four stages (transitional, initial, basic and modern). Describing each stage, the authors stressed that the Ukrainian legislator is now in the fourth stage, which is characterized by the improvement of already adopted legislation on intelligence activities or the adoption of completely new laws based on new versions or amendments to constitutions (basic laws). It is emphasized that Ukraine has been one of the first states in the territory of the former USSR to adopt the fourth (modern) stage since the adoption of new legislative acts on the activities of intelligence agencies. Undoubtedly, the impetus for this was the amendment of the Constitution of Ukraine on the strategic course of the state to become a full member of Ukraine in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which radically changed the direction and direction of intelligence use of available forces and means. It is noted that the newly adopted legislation was developed not out of thin air, but based on a set of already adopted regulations that fully reflect the complex threatening situation around Ukraine and clearly indicate the place of intelligence agencies in a single system of national security. It was necessary to summarize all the adopted preliminary normative material and summarize it in new legislative acts, which would in a new way regulate all issues of intelligence functioning in modern difficult conditions. The main positive points in the newly adopted laws are identified, namely: 1) granting categories that were previously used only in the theory of intelligence, the status of legal categories, which indicates the beginning of the process of forming a completely new set of special legal terms; 2) inclusion in the text of a separate article on the observance of human rights and freedoms in the conduct of intelligence activities; 3) inclusion in the Law of Ukraine «On Intelligence» of a separate section on the peculiarities of democratic civilian control over intelligence; 4) granting the right to intelligence agencies to conduct intelligence affairs. It is proposed to consider in the Ukrainian legislation some legal provisions of the legislation of European countries regarding parliamentary control, which, according to the authors, will significantly increase the effectiveness of control. It is substantiated that the Law of Ukraine «On Intelligence» should contain: - a list of principles of intelligence activities must be defined; - the obligation of the authorized judge of the court to draw up a decision on the refusal to grant permission to conduct an intelligence event is more correctly formulated; - the right of intelligence agencies to provide training, retraining and advanced training of persons involved in confidential cooperation, in the manner prescribed by law for intelligence officers, is more clearly defined. It is concluded that the newly adopted laws provide comprehensive guarantees of compliance with the provisions of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950 and fully reflect the needs of intelligence agencies in the legal regulation of their activities in modern conditions.

The subject. The article analyzes the phenomenon of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the human rights and freedoms. It emphasizes that some information about the corona-virus infection was available several decades ago. At the same time, the specialists unfortunately weren’t ready for the possible mutation of this virus, which has now exposed a large-scales threat to the population of the whole world.The purpose of the article is to identify the problems of the implementation of the citizens’ rights and offer proposals for improving the Russian and Belarusian legislation and the practice of its implementation in the field of combating the coronavirus infection.The methodology. The authors take into account the practice of the European Court of Hu-man Rights and the constitutional control bodies of Russia and foreign countries. They make a conclusion on the legitimacy and necessity of the taken restrictive measures. The article is based on the dialectical method, as well as at the logical, historical, systemic methods. Methods of analysis and synthesis were of particular importance. The authors have applied the functional method to research the main areas for ensuring a reasonable balance of private (individual) and public interests.The main results, scope of application. Modern constitutions, including the Russian and the Belarusian ones, contains the most important principles of the rule of law, enshrine human rights and freedoms as the highest value. Human rights and freedoms continue to be are at the epicenter of many disputes and discussions. The modern system of rights and freedoms is constantly developing; the legal status of a person receives new content as the human civilization develops and the paradigm of values changes. For example, we see how information technology and other advances affect the scope of rights and freedoms. Rights, freedoms and obligations are interconnected and interdependent. All groups of rights are currently in the field of view of international organizations. The problem of equality, the elimination of discrimination, the restoration of violated rights, the assessment of the limits of the state's invasion in human rights and freedoms continues to be relevant nowadays.The article focuses on the international and national standards for the possible restriction of rights and freedoms in order to protect the health of the population. The international law rules on human rights oblige states to take measures to protect health and provide medical assistance to those in need.Conclusions. One of the constant problems is the relationship between the rights of a particular person and the rights of other persons, group or society as a whole and the state. At the same time, the coronavirus pandemic forced the public authorities to determine the balance of the priority of human rights and freedoms or the protection of the life and health of citizens. The coronavirus pandemic is the factor that affects the content of the legal regulation of relations in the field of human rights and freedoms. The measures taken by the state affect the right to health protection, freedom of movement, the right to education, right to have sport activity, right to work, freedom of assembly and others.The article proposes to inform the population more fully about the measures taken by the state and society in this direction, about the wider use of information technologies, about the possible responsibility for non-compliance with the requirements for the use of per-sonal protective equipment and the self-isolation regime.

This gloss summarizes and analyzes one of the recent key judgments of the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) in the case concerning Ukraine, while considering the context of hybrid warfare and the special place case-law of the ECtHR has in the Ukrainian legal system. The judgement addresses both: the right to access to the courts and the issue of suspended social payments due to hostilities, the extent of obligations of the state defending itself against aggression towards its nationals and the delicate balance between security, human rights and humanitarian considerations; and as such has much deeper relevance and applicability than to Ukraine alone.

This article is devoted to the study of the legal regulation of the institution of euthanasia in foreign practice and in Ukrainian law. We conducted a thorough analysis of the existing arguments for and against the legalization of the assisted suicide procedure, which have developed in scientific doctrine. Given the importance of the right to life in the fundamental human rights system, deprivation of any life is unacceptable, as it could set a precedent that would lead to the abuse of criminal intent by the possibility of masking premeditated murder with voluntary consent to accelerate biological death. That is why today in Ukraine deprivation of life at the request of a person is a crime, namely premeditated murder, and therefore euthanasia at the state level is now criminalized. However, after analyzing the views of scholars studying the dynamics of human rights, as well as paying attention to the practice of countries that have already legalized euthanasia at the state level, we concluded that assisted suicide today is a powerful mechanism that can guarantee the human right to a dignified existence at the end of her life. A number of foreign countries have shown by their example that the legalization of euthanasia is an important step towards building a more humane and humane society, where there is a place of mercy for terminally ill people who want to end their lives painlessly. The current position of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on the interpretation of the right to life does not allow for its expanded understanding, and therefore there is a need to amend the Constitution (for example recognition of the right to die) or change the position of the Court. In order for the right to dispose of one's own life to be properly guaranteed in Ukraine as well, we have developed on the basis of our research and proposed an algorithm of actions that can be used in the implementation of the institute of assisted suicide in Ukraine. We emphasize the need to amend the Constitution of Ukraine or change the position of the Constitutional Court on the interpretation of the right to life and the development of an appropriate legal framework that should take into account the medical side of this issue.

The author studied the formation and development of the doctrine of heirless (vacant) succession in Ukraine. It has been determined that the probate law in Ukraine, as well as other legal phenomena, has followed its evolution, development and enrichment upon various historical stages of Ukrainian people and was closely tied with the existence or absence of Ukrainian statehood. The modern standards in this particular field of legal relations have been gradually established. The Kyiv State did not have the institution of heirless property because household assets of the ancient Ruthenian family were in collective property of the whole family and not in the property of an individual father-householder. That is why it was not succession but a mere redistribution of household assets remaining in joint possession within the family. The term «heirless property» was first specified in Lithuanian-Ruthenian state in Lithuanian Statutes (1566): if there were no heirs-at-law and by will, the property was acknowledged as heirless and devolved upon the state. For the legal system of Hetmanship era the primary source was the ancestral character of succession and devolution of the inheritable property to a public entity was an exception. Moreover, in Ukrainian legal tradition, the visible is the competition between acknowledging a vacant succession as an heirless property and extension of the institution of succession upon these relations. In Ukrainian SSR heirless succession devolved upon state. Modern civil law of Ukraine lacks the concept of heirless property (succession). The new Civil Code of Ukraine (2003) introduces the concept of «heirless succession» (Art. 1277). Ukrainian law applies European and international norms and standards. Along with this, the process must comply with the legal mentality of the Ukrainian people, with values and authenticity of its legal culture. Having adopted the Civil Code, Ukraine made and important step to the integration into the continental legal system, and the probate law acquired a new concept of heirless succession, when: firstly, available succession may be declared in judicial proceeding as heirless, and after that it devolves upon territorial community where it was commenced; secondly, the state is excluded both from the circle of heirs-at-law and from the circle of the entities-heirs of the succession acknowledged as heirless. The author specifies that the Ukrainian legislators did not take into account the Euroean experience during codification of the civil legislation, hence there are a number of issues that must be dealt with, so that Ukrainian legal system could completely meet the international standards. In EU countries the holder of the right for the heirless property is the state, in Ukraine it is a territorial community which outweighs the efficiency of the function of non-subjectivity elimination what heirlessness is intended for. Since a territorial community does not and cannot own so much civil capacity as the state. The author reveals some drawbacks in legal regulation of the issue and develops proposals to improve the probate law in Ukraine. Key words: succession, heirlessness, heirless property, legator, legatee, territorial community.

The paper considers the main threats to human rights in connection with the introduction of digital profiles in the Russian Federation. Rights such as the right to privacy and the right to dignity are most at risk. In addition, the risk of discrimination increases. Analyzing the current legal regulation of the digital profile, the author concludes that it does not meet the criterion of legal certainty and creates increased risks of intrusion of the state and private structures into the sphere of a person’s private life. Despite the fact that currently digital profiles of citizens are only a set of official information contained in some state information systems and public registers, according to the author, in the future, this infrastructure can be used for profiling people, in-depth analysis, monitoring and forecasting their behavior, as is already done today by some other states and nongovernmental organizations.The legal regulation of the digital profile should be based on special guarantees of human rights in connection with the collection and processing of personal information about citizens available to the state. Among such guarantees, the author includes, in particular, the establishment in the law of a list of information that cannot be part of a digital profile of a citizen or be otherwise related to it, a list of unacceptable purposes for using digital profiles, as well as the establishment of the obligation of operators to inform subjects in an accessible form about the facts and legal consequences of profiling, about the principles and logical schemes underlying profiling.

Art. 24 of the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights recognises and protects the right of the individual to rest and leisure. This right has to be fully exercised without negative consequences on the right to work and the remuneration. Tourism can be considered one of the best ways of rest and leisure because it allows to enrich the personality of the individual. Even after the reform of the Title V this area is no longer covered by the Italian Constitution, the Italian legal system protects and guarantees it as a real right, so as to get to recognize its existence and the consequent compensation of the so-called “ruined holiday damage”. This kind of damage has not a patrimonial nature, but a moral one, and the Tourist-Traveler can claim for it when he has not been able to fully enjoy his holiday - the essential fulcrum of tourism - intended as an opportunity for leisure and/or rest, essential rights of the individual.
