Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of European integration processes on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Ukraine. To accomplish the proposed aim, a number of systematic methods were used: thematic analysis, comparative analysis, and content analysis. The main judicial documents related to changes in legislation and practice of implementing European legal standards were collected: The Constitution of Ukraine, Human rights legislation, Legislation on personal data protection, and The Maastricht Agreement. The study findings show that Ukraine’s European integration involves the approximation of Ukrainian law to European standards. This process also encompassed the safeguarding of human rights and basic liberties that included reducing discrimination, ensuring security, guaranteeing protection and social support, etc. It is important that Ukraine implements these legal changes in cooperation with leading European institutions, such as the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights. This makes it possible to take into account current trends in the practical implementation of the protection of citizens. Simultaneously, efforts to implement the European integration goals of judicial system transformation, media freedom and rights, and civil society institution development should be acknowledged as promising areas for additional Ukrainian legislative reform. Hence, the conclusions emphasize the importance of further cooperation with European institutions and adherence to the democratic path of development. Also, promising areas for further changes in Ukrainian legislation are the work on the implementation of the goals of European integration and the change of the judicial structure, and ensuring the rights and freedoms of the media.
Keywords: harmonization of legislation, establishment of institutions, strengthening of democracy, fundamental freedoms, European integration, cooperation.
