The Impact of Law on Human Rights and Civil Liberties

Abstract

This investigation is pertinent as it illustrates that legal norms play a dual role—safeguarding the adherence to human rights and freedoms while concurrently imposing specific constraints and, in certain instances, transgressions upon them. The objective of this article is to scrutinize the theoretical and practical dimensions surrounding the influence of law on human rights and civil liberties. It aims to analyze the legal framework and confront pertinent issues by delving into both national and international legislative practices. The focus is on regulatory and legal framework governing the impact of law on human rights and civil liberties. The utilized methodologies encompassed the historical method, structural and functional method, analytical method, comparative method, statistical method, and sociological method. The presence of a legislative rule without effective implementation or with implementation in contravention of rights and civil liberties poses a significant challenge. Resolving current issues demands concerted efforts, rendering this problem of paramount importance and warranting further research and examination. Each state is tasked with harmonizing its national legislation with internationally ratified instruments at both the regulatory and practical levels. A comprehensive exploration of the practical and theoretical dimensions of gaps in legislative processes as a pressing global issue in Ukraine is imperative to ensure the observance of rights and freedoms, and to mitigate the adverse consequences arising from the negative impact of law.
