Звертається увага на висновок Європейської комісії з семи вимог, виконання яких має бути свідченням того, що Україна готова продовжувати свій шлях в Європейський Союз. Акцентується увага на Вищій раді правосуддя, розкривається питання її правового статусу.

Структурними елементами механізму забезпечення прав людини є механізм правового впливу в сфері прав людини, механізм правового регулювання у сфері прав людини, нормативно-правова основа прав людини, система гарантій прав людини, система захисту прав людини.

Звертається увага на особливості інституційного механізму забезпечення прав людини в Україні. Розглядаються його структурні елементи. Зазначається, що Вища рада правосуддя є колегіальним, незалежним конституційним органом державної влади та суддівського врядування.

Звертається увага на повноваження Вищої ради правосуддя, які закріплено ст.3 Закону України «Про Вищу раду правосуддя». Аргументується, що Вища рада правосуддя є структурним елементом інституційного механізму забезпечення прав людини в Україні. Визначається місце Вищої ради правосуддя в цьому механізмі, а також її вплив на ефективність судочинства в Україні.

Ключові слова: Вища рада правосуддя, права людини, органи державної влади, суддівське врядування, забезпечення прав людини, механізм, правовий статус, відповідальність, конституційно-правове регулювання.

Formulation of the problem

Granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for the European Union imposes on the state, among other things, obligations related to judicial reform. In the conclusion of the European Commission of 7 requirements, the fulfillment of which should be evidence that Ukraine is ready to continue its path in the EU, there is also an obligation to ensure the effectiveness of the right to judicial protection, which is directly dependent on the effectiveness of the judicial system.

The Supreme Council of Justice works in Ukraine. The Supreme Council of Justice is a collegial, independent constitutional body of state power and judicial governance that operates in Ukraine on a permanent basis to ensure the independence of the judiciary, its functioning on the basis of responsibility, accountability to society, the formation of an honest and highly professional body of judges, compliance with the norms of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, as well as professional ethics in the activities of judges and prosecutors [1]. But its place in the institutional mechanism of ensuring human rights has not been investigated. ukraine european union judicial reform human rights

In the science of constitutional law, the work of Professor Oksana Vasylchenko, Olga Lotyuk, Lyudmyla Deshko, Olga Sovgyri and other scientists is devoted to the issue of human rights and the mechanism of their protection [2-12].

The powers of the High Council of Justice are established by Art. 3 of the Law of Ukraine «On the High Council of Justice». The Supreme Council of Justice:

15) provides mandatory advisory opinions on draft laws on the creation, reorganization or liquidation of courts, the judicial system and the status of judges, summarizes the proposals of courts, bodies and institutions of the justice system regarding legislation on their status and functioning, the judicial system and the status of judges;

18) approves the redistribution of budget expenditures between courts, except for the Supreme Court, in accordance with the established procedure;

19) appoints and dismisses the Head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine and his deputies;

20-1) appoints and dismisses members of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine;

21) exercises other powers defined by legislation.

In connection with the implementation of the powers defined by law, the Supreme Council of Justice participates in international cooperation, including interaction with foreign institutions, institutions and organizations on matters of justice, may be a member of relevant international associations.

The mechanism for ensuring human rights and freedoms is complex. According to M. Orzikh, the structure of the human rights protection mechanism includes normative (first of all, material and legal), procedural and institutional forms and means of human rights protection. T. Pashuk found such a criterion for distinguishing between the concepts of "legal protection" and "legal protection" - the fact of applying any type of state legal coercion (restoration of an already violated right, legal responsibility, warning, reprimand) in the process of jurisdictional activity (in the process of resolving a legal dispute). Such a criterion does not depend on the fact of violation of a subjective legal right. State-legal coercion is applied both on the condition that the subjective legal right has already been violated, and on the condition that the subjective legal right has not yet been violated, but there is a threat of its violation. Signs of legal protection are:

1) types of coercion used: warning, reprimand;

2) the activity, in the process of which it is applied, is an extrajurisdictional activity;

3) conditions of application: the subjective legal right has already been violated, or it has not yet been violated, but there is a threat of its violation;

4) the circle of competent bodies authorized to apply coercion in the process of extrajurisdictional activity: state bodies, local self-government bodies, non-state organizations [13].

The analysis of the concept of legal protection of human rights conducted by Professor Ludmila Deshko allowed this science to clarify its concept. According to Professor Lyudmila Deshko, legal protection is the law-enforcement jurisdictional activity of state bodies, local self-government bodies, non-governmental organizations authorized by the state, aimed at the application of such types of state coercion as the restoration of a violated right, legal responsibility, prevention or termination of a violation of law [13].

Human and citizen rights and freedoms are a complex phenomenon. It seems wrong to reduce their provision exclusively to legal influence in the field of human rights, or legal regulation or protection of human rights. The structural elements of the human rights enforcement mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the regulatory and legal basis of human rights, the system of guarantees of human rights, and the system of protection of human rights. Undoubtedly, the Supreme Council of Justice belongs to the mechanism of legal influence, and therefore is one of the elements of the institutional mechanism for ensuring human rights.

The activities of the High Council of Justice affect the judicial system, its effectiveness and how effective judicial protection will be.

The right to protection enshrined in the Constitution acts not only as an important material guarantee of ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, but also serves as a starting point for establishing other types of legal guarantees related to the realization of this right, in particular procedural and institutional-organizational ones. Legal protection, which must be equal and equally effective for everyone, is the most effective means of restoring the violated rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. Therefore, legal protection is related to jurisdictional activity to restore a person's subjective legal right or freedom. As part of this activity, the dispute is resolved on its merits. T. Pashuk rightly emphasizes that foreign scientists, in particular D. Shelton, point out that legal remedies include, among others, the means of avoiding a violation of the law. Among the types of legal remedies, the scientist singles out declaratory judgments. D. Shelton emphasizes that "...with the help of these legal means of protection, a certain behavior or state is declared illegal and accepted decision to correct the situation. Such protection is aimed at obtaining a certain decision even before damage occurs, if it is imminent." The scientist cites an apt example of legal protection in the form of a declaratory decision: it was used to protect freedom of expression against a person who was threatened with arrest. In addition, the scientist emphasizes that in most countries, declaratory judgments are not considered as an adequate legal means of protection, if the damage has already been caused [14, p. 36-40]. Therefore, legal remedies are applied both if a subjective right or freedom has been violated, and if the subjective legal right has not been violated, but there is a threat of its violation.

Conclusions

Human and citizen rights and freedoms are a complex phenomenon. It seems wrong to reduce their provision exclusively to legal influence in the field of human rights, or legal regulation or protection of human rights. The structural elements of the human rights enforcement mechanism are the mechanism of legal influence in the field of human rights, the mechanism of legal regulation in the field of human rights, the regulatory and legal basis of human rights, the system of guarantees of human rights, and the system of protection of human rights. Undoubtedly, the Supreme Council of Justice belongs to the mechanism of legal influence, and therefore is one of the elements of the institutional mechanism for ensuring human rights.
