Abstract

The relevance of this topic is beyond doubt due to the existing gaps in the legal regulation of peaceful meetings in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to study and compare the projects of Law of Ukraine “On Guarantees of Freedom of Peaceful Meetings” in accordance with international legal acts and practice of the European Court of Human Rights. The study examines decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in relation to Ukraine – “Verentsov v. Ukraine” and “Shmushkovych v. Ukraine,” a number of issues were identified in the rules of the national legislation that require further legal regulation and provided practical recommendations for the improvement of the current legislation. Moreover, the article proposes the author’s approaches to solving the problem of the advance warning of the holding of the peaceful meeting, which should depend on the size of the meeting, the reasons for restricting peaceful meetings and the special procedure for appellate consideration of cases of restrictions on the freedom of peaceful meetings. The author also emphasizes the need for the adoption of a special Law “On Peaceful Meetings,” which must embody European principles and standards for a peaceful meeting.
