NEW EDITION FOR ALL-UKRAINIAN LAW WEEK
The All-Ukrainian Association of Scientists and Specialists in the Field of Operational and Investigative Activities, together with the Department of Operational and Investigative Activities of the Faculty of Training of Specialists for Criminal Police Units of the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs, prepared a new edition for the All-Ukrainian Law Week.
On December 4, 1950, the UN General Assembly session established International Human Rights Day. Two years earlier, the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which became the first international document to clearly formulate provisions on human rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a resolution of the UN General Assembly adopted in 1948, which is the most authoritative source of international human rights norms. The “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It has been translated into 375 languages and dialects. The Declaration was a direct consequence of the experience of World War II and for the first time formulated the rights that every person should have. It consists of 30 articles, the content of which was clarified and developed through the institutions of international agreements, regional and national constitutions and laws. The Universal Declaration for the first time in history defined the range of fundamental human rights and freedoms. In addition to fundamental human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights lists in detail political, civil rights and human freedoms, as well as rights in the economic, social and cultural spheres. This human rights document is based on a significant number of international human rights treaties that are binding and are part of the national legislation of Ukraine.
In Ukraine, every year in honor of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN General Assembly in 1948, the All-Ukrainian Law Week is held. The All-Ukrainian Law Week was held for the first time in 2008. The project was initiated by the Coordination Council of Young Lawyers of Ukraine under the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. At the same time, the initiative of the young generation of lawyers was supported by the President of Ukraine, issuing Decree No. 1149 of December 8, 2008 “On the All-Ukrainian Law Week”.
The All-Ukrainian Law Week aims to introduce high legal standards, increase the level of legal education and legal culture of citizens, as well as create a strong democratic and legal state.
It was for the All-Ukrainian Law Week that the All-Ukrainian Association of Scientists and Specialists in the Field of Operational and Investigative Activities, together with the Department of Operational and Investigative Activities of the Faculty of Training of Specialists for Criminal Police Units of the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs, prepared a new publication for the All-Ukrainian Law Week:
Ensuring Human Rights in Operational and Investigative Activities (Series: Theory and Practice of ORD): Collection of Regulatory and Legal Acts / Compiled by S. V. Albul. – Odesa: Publisher Bukayev Vadim Viktorovych, 2019. 32 p.
The preface to the publication states that operational-search activities are a special type of state activity, which is carried out both openly and covertly by operational units of special state bodies, which are endowed with such powers by legislative acts. At the same time, operational-search activities belong to the types of legal activity in which there is a high probability of violations and oppression of individual human rights and freedoms. In this sense, the existence of procedural-legal and substantive-legal instruments to limit the possibilities of interference in the sphere of individual freedoms is an important factor in ensuring stable law and order.
Counteracting crime requires, first of all, modern and perfect regulatory and legal support. In the current conditions of reforming the system of law enforcement agencies, the issue of training specialists of a new formation, capable of ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens, counteracting
criminal offenses, eliminating the causes and conditions that contributed to them, is acute.
The publication is a collection of excerpts from regulatory legal acts on issues of ensuring human rights and freedoms during operational-search activities and covert investigative (search) actions. The collection will be useful for employees of practical units of the National Police of Ukraine, as well as cadets, students, trainees and teachers of educational institutions that provide training, retraining and advanced training for employees of the National Police.
