JUDICIAL PROTECTION OF SOCIAL RIGHTS AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY

 

The article analyzes the idea of protection of social rights based on the universal nature of human rights as the obligation of the state to protect certain goods, in particular, the distribution of goods in the case of unequal economic status of individuals or the occurrence of life circumstances beyond the individual's will. The protection of social rights is also seen through the principle of ubi jus ibi remedium, the fair distribution of goods on the basis of an equal scale of rights and freedoms.

The purpose of the study is to reveal the nature of social protection through the concept of guarantee of rights based on respect for human dignity. In particular, the author reveals the nature of social rights through the duty to protect the state, which is discussed through human dignity, freedom and equality. The author analyzes the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on the content of the state's obligation to ensure and protect social rights in the light of the approaches of the European Court of Human Rights. The author demonstrates the approach of the Supreme Court to the constitutional and administrative provision of social rights on the example of cases on social rights. The author formulates a holistic vision of social rights enforcement given the limited resources in the context of war and post-war renewal of Ukraine.

Key words: administrative proceedings, constitutional jurisprudence, duty to protect, human dignity, judicial protection, social rights, the very essence of the right.
