The sources of Roman law, which played an important role in the formation of inheritance law as a legal institution, are studied. The definition of the term «will», which was first formed by the Roman lawyer Ulpian, is considered. The origin of the word «guarantee» is studied and its interpretation in different dictionaries is considered. It is established that guarantees play a crucial role, because only with the guarantee of rights can we count on their full and comprehensive use. It has been found that the issue of guarantees of heirs’ rights is given little attention among scholars. The opinions of scientists on the interpretation of the term guarantee of human rights and freedoms are analyzed, as well as approaches to understanding the nature of guarantees are identified. Researchers have found that there are different positions on the definition of «guarantee of rights». Based on the analyzed views of scientists, the main features of guarantees of human rights and freedoms are formed, which include: the state nature of guarantees; regulatory and legal consolidation of guarantees; universal and continuous nature of guarantees; is an indicator of the level of development of the national legal system; designed to protect and defend human and civil rights. The analysis of specific guarantees of the rights of relatives of the testator contained in the legislation of Ukraine is carried out. The most problematic provisions in inheritance law have been identified that affect the guarantee of the rights of heirs, including: provisions on the powers and organization of notaries; provisions on secret wills; provisions on the timing of acceptance of the inheritance. Based on the analysis of guarantees of the rights of heirs in the inheritance law of Ukraine, the main features of such guarantees are highlighted. The approaches to the separation of the category «guarantees of the rights of heirs» are generalized and the definition of such guarantees in a broad and narrow sense is given.

In this article the author considers the concept of restriction of individual rights in civil law, as well as the re-lationship between the concepts of restriction and encumbrance of civil rights. First of all, the lack of a legislative definition of the concept of restriction of individual rights in civil law, as well as the ambiguity of the position of the legislator on the use of the term restriction and its place among related conceptsIn writing this work, first of all, attention was paid to the Constitution of Ukraine, which is the Basic Law, which serves as a guide that establishes the general boundaries of human and civil rights. The connection of the provisions of the Constitution with the norms of the Civil Code of Ukraine within the framework of the chosen topic was presented. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principle according to which the national legal system is built, namely: “everything is allowed that is not expressly prohibited by law.”The views of some scholars who adhere to their vision of the concepts under study are given. In addition, in this study, the relationship between the concepts of restriction and encumbrance of individual rights in civil law. In the process of writing this work, the positions of legal scholars who had relatively similar positions were given. They distinguish between the above concepts, and provide the relevant features. However, outside the scope of this study were many works of scientists who do not see a difference in these concepts.None of this was left out of the regulatory framework for the definition of the above concepts at the legislative level. In particular, it was found that in contrast to the concept of restriction of individual rights, including in civil law, the current legislation contains a definition of encumbrance. There are several acts that provide this definition. And in all cases, the definition is different.Based on the analysis of regulations, it was found that the legislator does not consistently approach the definition of encumbrance. In particular, in some cases the latter includes the encumbrancer’s right to the debtor’s movable property or restriction of such right, in others - prohibition or restriction of disposal and / or use of real estate, and in some cases the legislator identifies encumbrances and restrictions.According to the results of the study, the conclusions on the failure to define in national law the concept of re-strictions on the rights of persons in civil law, as well as the lack of a clear distinction between the concept of restric-tion of the right of person and encumbrance, in particular under civil law. There is a position on the need for further research on relevant topics, which will ensure clarity and clarity of the law, and promote its effective application, as well as consensus on this issue among scholars.

This article is devoted to the study of the principles of the police of Ukraine. The principles of police activity defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are considered and analyzed, namely: the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms, legality, political neutrality, interaction with the population on the basis of partnership, continuity. It is noted that since Ukraine has announced a course for integration into the European Community and approximation of the Ukrainian legal system to European and world standards, the introduction of Ukrainian legislation and principles that have existed for some time in international law is one of the important steps towards this goal. It is proved that the definition of principles at the level of law indicates that they must be harmonized with existing social values, and the conceptual basis of the modern police paradigm should be the unconditional recognition of the primacy of human and civil rights and freedoms in public relations. on the basis of partnership should be considered as the main: first, to restore public respect for the police, secondly, the level of interaction affects the effectiveness of police functions, and thirdly, the level of trust can be concluded on the effectiveness of policing in general. The development and consolidation of ethical principles is important, which is justified by the peculiarities of policing. It is proposed to supplement the system of principles of police activity with the principles of tolerance and inadmissibility of discrimination. The police must respect and protect human rights and freedoms regardless of race, language, skin color, gender, age and other beliefs and characteristics. In order to improve the activities of the police, amendments to the list of principles defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are proposed.

The relevance of this study is due to the necessity to ensure the proper exercise of subjective civil rights in the field of inheritance law. Protection in inheritance is related to the general right to protection. Due to the peculiarities of inheritance law as a sub-branch of civil law, it has its own specifics, which is manifested primarily in the definition of special ways to protect violated unrecognized or challenged rights. In addition, the protection of the rights of heirs takes place only within the inheritance relationship, which is characterized by a long nature. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of protection of subjective civil rights of heirs in the field of inheritance. This necessitates the use of special methodological approaches that will identify the characteristics of protection of the rights of heirs, as well as research methods such as dogmatic, formal-logical, systematic, comparative law. The article analyses the recognition of the right of ownership of inherited property in court and proves that this exceptional method of protection is used if there are obstacles to the notarization of inheritance rights. The most typical and widespread special ways to protect the rights of heirs are considered: removal from the right to inherit, invalidation of the will, change of the order of obtaining the right to inherit, reduction of the size of the obligatory share in the inheritance. The outlined issues were not widely covered in the legal literature, as the attention of scholars was mainly in the perspective of clarifying the legal nature of protection and defence, the ratio of forms and methods of protection of subjective civil rights, analysis of general methods of protection of subjective civil rights. That is why this work is an important contribution to outlining the issue of inheritance law and attracting due attention of the scientific community.

The purpose of this article is to define the role of law enforcement agencies in the system of protection of human rights and freedoms. The legal relations that arise during the activities of law enforcement agencies regarding the protection of human rights and freedoms were the subject of the study. Such methods of scientific cognition as dialectical, logical-semantical, formal-legal and analytical were used during the writing of the article. Through a series of research analyzes and comparisons, the definition of "law enforcement agencies" was provided. During the writing of this scientific work, the level of impact of effectively functioning law enforcement agencies on the entire system of protection of fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms was traced. It is stated that due to the multisectoral nature of activity of law enforcement agencies, their extensive system, etc., it is impossible to group them in one legislative act. The root cause for this is that all law enforcement agencies have different functions, different tasks, they do not have the same powers, and so on. It is emphasized that, regardless of the state in which they are located, law enforcement agencies (and especially their activities to ensure inalienable protected rights) will always be a model for a society as a whole. Hence the foundation of the widespread scientific thesis that the quality of law enforcement work in the field of protection and observance of constitutional rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals is a direct reflection of the level of success and competence of all actors in society.

The article is devoted to the study of the role and significance of guarantees of individual rights and freedoms in Ukraine. The author defines that they are important factors in the economic, political, legal, cultural and other spheres of society that create conditions for the real possibility of exercising the rights and freedoms of the individual. The concept of solidarity excludes the idea of class struggle, the revolutionary path of development of society. According to this concept, the focus is on the social nature of the state: socio-economic, cultural, environmental rights of citizens are ensured with the participation of the state, which pursues an active socio-economic policy aimed at redistribution of funds for the most vulnerable, employment, social insurance, development affordable education, health care, etc. Guarantees for the realization of human and civil rights, freedoms and responsibilities can be described as a system of conditions and means that together ensure the exercise of constitutional human and civil rights, freedoms and responsibilities. The effectiveness of this system depends on various factors, but the main among them is the presence of certain elements in the system of government. These include: a) the existence of the Basic Law, the effect of which cannot be terminated arbitrarily; b) the definition of state power derived from the power of the people and the Constitution; c) consolidation at the constitutional level of fundamental rights, freedoms and responsibilities of man and citizen and the means and conditions of their exercise; d) the existence of an independent judiciary; e) the opportunity to protect their rights with the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and in international human rights organizations. It is also proposed to solve certain issues of realization of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine through the implementation of the concept of solidarity - the principle of building a social system in which its members (citizens, families, ethnic groups, religious denominations, social groups, political parties, business corporations, etc.) have a real legal and socio-political subjectivity , on the basis of which their rights, opportunities and interests can be consolidated and solidified in order to achieve consensus goals (common good) in social frameworks of different scales (local, national, global).

Gans was an influential legal theorist and an admirer of Hegel’s doctrines regarding the nature and purposes of political institutions. He attempted to extend the role of those doctrines to the practical reform of German legal theory. Gans criticized this theory as being neither universal nor in accord with natural human rights. One of the most evident expressions of this partiality of the law was to be found in the legal disregard of the natural civil rights of Jewish citizens. Gans looked to the past, to Roman law, with its universal applications and its firm structures based upon natural rights, as a model upon which a future German legal system could be constructed.

A diferencia de las declaraciones genéricas de la actual legislación internacional que evita definir a la familia, en las fuentes jurídicas romanas contamos con definiciones de familia en los textos jurídicos. Ello otorgó a la sociedad romana dar la suficiente seguridad para consolidar los pilares fundamentales del Derecho de Familia en el Derecho Romano. Y es que, en Roma como en la actualidad, la familia –como institución jurídica– no fue inmutable, sufrió cambios importantes a lo largo de los siglos en función de las transformaciones políticas, sociales y culturales. Sin embargo, y a diferencia del Derecho actual, dichos cambios tuvieron siempre presente el contenido sustancial y jurídico de lo que implica la idea primordial de la familia pues, dichas definiciones jurídicas, sirvieron como punto de partida para encontrar nuevas soluciones.Unlike generic statements of current international legislation that avoid defining family, in Roman legal sources there are definitions of family in legal texts. This granted Roman society sufficient certainty to consolidate the fundamental pillars of family law in Roman law. And in Rome, as at the present, the family – as a legal institution – was not immutable, it suffered major changes over the centuries on the basis of the political, social and cultural transformations. However, and contrary to current law, changes always had present substantial and legal content of what the primary idea of family was because such legal definitions served as a starting point to finding new solutions.
