International mechanisms for the protection of human and civil rights
This article reveals the essence and significance of international protection of rights, which is expressed in the protection of the interests of the citizen of any nationality, religion, socio-political affiliation, and in ensuring the security of the state. The authors consider the main mechanisms of implementation of international protection in the modern state, their classification, features of these mechanisms and their main value. At present, in the conditions of intensive development of civilization the problem of protection of the rights and freedoms of the modern person becomes more and more urgent not only at the domestic, but also at the international level. Modern states, interacting with each other, create a universal system of human rights protection, expressed in the formation of international standards for the protection of rights and the functioning of specific organizational structures, embodying in their activities the basic principles of the protection of human rights and freedoms. The authors notice that it is necessary to expand the ways of cooperation not only between states but also between individuals, taking into account the nature of human rights and freedoms and the nature of the human being, to anticipate potential threats and to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence and destructive impact to a minimum by joint efforts.
