International Standards of Ensuring Access to Justice

Abstract

The article explored the international standards of the right to access to justice. The authors have emphasised that the duty of the state to ensure the human right to access to justice is recognized by the international and European community and provided in the main international legal acts. They have stressed that the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 was the first stage in the formation of a modern system of international standards in the field of human rights. Based on the analysis of the main approaches to the definition of “international standards of human rights”, their main features were identified and the definition of this concept have been proposed. The authors have concluded that the definition of the concept of international human rights standards in the literature is often controversial and does not contribute to the development of a comprehensive understanding of the notion of international standards of the right to access to justice. The notion of "international standards of the right to access to justice" can be defined as a system of universal, binding principles and norms based on which the realization of the right to access to justice is ensured in accordance with the requirements of civil society and the rule of law, as stipulated by international normative legal acts. The above stipulates the importance of conducting a thorough analysis of the system of international acts, which establishes international standards of the right to access to justice in order to determine the directions of their implementation in the domestic legislation.
