Abstract

Розглянуто особливості правового статусу Уповноваженого з прав людини, з’ясовано його роль у правозахисті. Наголошено, що запровадження інституту омбудсмена в Україні стало важливим кроком у розвитку демократичних процесів, які спрямовані на подальше зміцнення статусу особистості, гарантій реалізації конституційних прав і свобод людини та громадянина в суспільстві, а також інтеграції України у світовий політико-правовий та соціально-економічний простір. The article deals with the features and problem aspects of institutionalization of human rights.. In order to exercise his/her powers, the Commissioner for Human Rights, to a greater or lesser extent, uses all forms and methods of activity that are at his/her disposal. At the same time, in our opinion, the Commissioner needs to pay special attention to the use of the most influential means. Consequently, the ombudsman must constantly improve his activities and thus contribute to the overall development of this institution. This is confirmed by the fact that today the institution of the ombudsman is able to function effectively in a wide variety of legal systems, while not changing its historical purpose. In particular, improving the performance of the Ukrainian ombudsman institution will improve the procedures for investigating appeals; Improvement of access conditions to the Ombudsman; improvement of relations between the Commissioner and state authorities and law-enforcement bodies, between the Commissioner and the media, between the Commissioner and international organizations, etc. The level of performance of the Commissioner is an indicator that determines its existence in the system of ensuring the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. The increase of this indicator is related to all spheres of the Commissioner's operation and should therefore become a priority in the development of the institution of the ombudsman in Ukraine.
