The purpose of the article is to identify the entities of ensuring the rights of citizens sentenced to imprisonment in Ukraine, as well as to analyze their tasks and functions. During the writing of the article, such methods of scientific knowledge as: comparative-legal, legal analysis, dialectical, system-structural, logic and legal method were used. The main entities of ensuring and protection the rights of citizens sentenced to imprisonment in Ukraine are identified. It is stated that the protection of the rights and freedoms of persons sentenced to imprisonment is done through an extensive system of state and non-state entities whose activity is aimed at the implementation of state policy in this field. It is proposed to classify the entities of protection of human rights and citizens, in particular they are divided into two main groups, namely who: a) are endowed with relevant functions on behalf of the state; b) perform certain functions as civil society institutions. The basic tasks of such entities are analyzed and their functions are defined and systematized (content characterization is provided). All functions of the entities of ensuring the rights of persons sentenced to imprisonment are divided into basic (normative, security, control) and additional (educational, re-socialization, social protection, prevention). It is concluded that the legislative consolidation of the tasks and functions of such entities is a prerequisite for the establishment of an effective system of ensuring the rights and freedoms of convicted persons. Such a legal mechanism must comply with universally recognized international standards in the field of the protection of human rights and freedoms.

The article is devoted to the study of certain issues of property detection in the institution of seizure of property. On the basis of comparative legal analysis, the possibility of ensuring the detection of property using search and seizure within the Criminal Procedure Code of the past and modern Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and foreign countries was assessed. The rights of the victim under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms are analyzed in terms of his/her right to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law to decide his/her civil rights and obligations. The application of the criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine is analyzed taking into account the practice of the European Court of Human Rights on the protection of human rights in relation to the rights of individuals or legal entities to peacefully own their property. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the previous provisions do not in any way restrict the right of the state to enact such laws as it deems necessary to exercise control over the use of property in accordance with the general interest. Scientific methods such as analysis, synthesis, formal-legal and comparative-legal method became the methodological basis of the research.

The relevance of the research is determined by the prerequisites for the rise in the levels of terrorist threats in Ukraine and the development of international terrorism. In response to these threats, the state creates protective mechanisms, increasing the level of protection of the population, since this is one of its main tasks. However, this system does not fully meet its objectives without cooperation with civil society. That is why, one of the current tasks is to unite the efforts of the state and civil society institutions in fighting against terrorism. Every citizen and civil society in the whole is a stakeholder and partner in the fight against terrorism. Citizens should be active participants. Therefore, the article provides a legal analysis of the interaction of the main agency in the state system of combating terrorist activity – the Security Service of Ukraine with civil society and clarifies the ways of implementing the state policy on counteracting terrorism. The comparative legal method of the study analyzes the source base of national law concerning the interaction of the Security Service of Ukraine with civil society in fighting against terrorism. The practical relevance of the study is determined by the ability to use the main points and conclusions of the study to further studies of the problems of the interaction of counter-terrorism actors with civil society. As a result of the analysis of the normative base on the interaction of the Security Service of Ukraine with civil society in fighting against terrorism, it can be stated about the state's efforts to implement the main points of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. In general, Ukraine's anti-terrorist system meets international standards in the field of counteracting terrorism. However, national legislation is the subject to improvement in the field of counteracting terrorism with the involvement of civil society institutions in eliminating the conditions and causes of terrorist activity.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The current state of Ukrainian society requires the scientific community to find answers to the general social impulses needed for reform strategies: from unconstructive attempts to replace the state with civil society to efforts aimed at their balanced interaction. It is the principle of social and political balance in the relationship between the rule of law and civil society should be the basis for correcting and correcting the unstable economic situation, overcoming acute social conflicts, establishing the rule of law, building a democratic state. It should be noted that it is quite clear that sometimes the implementation of a right requires at least not one, but clearly several opportunities, such as: economic, educational, social, gender, etc., existing in the relevant spatio-temporal continuum. Moreover, there is an indisputable thesis that there are no secondary or non-first-class or type of human rights, so every unrealized, not realized in time or not fully realized right, without a doubt, is based on the lack of, first of all, the corresponding real opportunities. It is also clear that the implementation of a certain right depends, for example, on the relevant regulations. we note that state-building processes, their dynamics, progressive trends depend on many factors. In this context, the interconnectedness of the development of a democratic, legal, social, European state and the formation of a mature, active, civil society was considered. Keywords: legal science, legal doctrine, human rights, rights and opportunities, legal development.

While analyzing the indicated issues, the author of the study evaluates existing regulations as well as presents proposals for changes that could have a positive impact on children’s situation concerning the implementation of his/her political rights.

The article focuses on the need to respect human rights in the provision of medical services in Ukraine. It is strictly unacceptable to restrict citizens of Ukraine in receiving free medical services, since such a right is provided for by Art. 49 of the Constitution of Ukraine. It is proposed to consider that a medical service includes all types of medical care and is a special activity in relation to human health. The concept and main signs of medical services are revealed, it is established that the state, local governments, legal entities and individuals, including the patient, can be the customer of medical services. Ukrainian legislation governing the provision of medical services does not meet international standards. The positive experience of the EU countries (France, Denmark, Slovakia) and the world (Australia, Canada) shows that access to medical services is provided within the framework of medical insurance, in most cases free of charge, and is controlled by authorized state organizations. The purpose of the article is to determine the content, signs of medical services, classification criteria for their subjects, disclose the features of their legal regulation, clarify the problems of legalization of medical services and improve legislation taking into account foreign experience. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach, which is determined by the specifics of the topic of the article, and is also associated with the use of general and special research methods. The comparative legal method and the method of legal analysis were used in the study of legislative rules governing the provision of medical services. Using the method of legal analysis, groups of subjects of medical legal relations in the field of medical services are determined and their powers are analyzed. The formal logical method was used to differentiate the criteria for distinguishing between the legal structures “medical care” and “medical service”. The results of the study contributed to the identification of certain legal problems that arise when citizens receive medical services and require immediate resolution. It is also advisable to introduce compulsory state health insurance.
