Problems of Implementation of Collective Human Rights in the Light of Ensuring National Security of Ukraine

Abstract

Establishment of collective rights in the Constitution of Ukraine is an important factor in fulfilment of all human rights and freedoms. The right to freedom of association in political parties and public organizations, right to assemble peacefully, unarmed, and hold meetings, rallies, campaigns and demonstrations, right to file collective appeals to the state and local authorities are the main collective human rights in Ukraine. Their implementation is not subject to any restrictions, except for those directly stated in the foundation of the Basic Law of Ukraine. Among them a leading position is occupied by the interests of national security. Collective rights are becoming increasingly important and challenging in their implementation in a state and society precisely in connection with the problem of ensuring national security. Societal and political processes, both in our country and abroad, which are associated with display of collective rights, give reason to perceive this phenomenon as a socio-political and scientific and legal problem. It needs more attention and further action.
