Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the principles on which human rights are based, and the main international documents that regulate human rights, as well as the mechanisms of their protection that are available to an individual when he believes that his particular right has been violated by the actions of public authorities. In modern society, human rights become a benchmark for evaluating the quality of life and the achieved level of democracy. International documents, as instruments and procedures for guaranteeing and protecting human rights, give human rights a universal character that is not hindered by state borders and national legislation. The holders of human rights are citizens, and the obligation of the state is to ensure that the rights and freedoms established by the Constitution and laws are not violated but respected.
