FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UKRAINIAN ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to present the legal context of the Ukrainian accession to the European Union, underlining the obligation of executing and protecting fundamental rights being one of the most important values of the organizations. Fundamental rights, along with the whole aspect of European law, are unique on the global scale, as none of the regional organizations has built so far, such complex and deep system of right and obligations for its citizens. To become a full member of the EU, a candidate state must fulfil many criteria, among which are economic rates, political standards, and last but not least, legal aspects of functioning the democratic state of law. Difficult situation of the Ukrainian government, divided territory after the Russian illegal annexation of Crimea and separatist republics in the Eastern Ukraine are not making easier the accession either. However, the article focuses on the legal, while not political implementation of the European legal values into the Ukrainian state.
