Abstract
The problem of human rights has not lost its relevance since the French Revolution and the United States’ victorious struggle for independence. It became especially topical in the years of the Second World War. At each of these historical frontiers, significant legal acts were adopted to guarantee human rights and freedoms. But in the second decade of the XXI century, this problem arose with new acuteness. Terrorist attacks, separatism, illegal migration have become a real challenge to international law and order. Unfortunately, these threats have not escaped Ukraine either. The conflict of principles of human rights and state sovereignty has led to numerous conflicts. Their heavy consequences forced politicians and expertsto focus on the fact that the prevailing the secular interpretation of human rights and freedoms’ concept foundation results critical failures. So, there is a task to reveal the true existential sources of human rights and freedoms concept. In addition to the practical political and legal aspect, this issue also has a significant scientific philosophical and law significance. The article aims to reveal the role of the Christian tradition in the formation and development of human rights and freedoms concept.
