The article substantiates that the right to self-defense as natural rights recognized and enshrined in international instruments, based on the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as regulated in the criminal and administrative legislation of Ukraine. The concept of “self-defense” is broader than self-defense or extreme necessity. Self-protection against ille- gal encroachments person has the right not only to exercise his or others lives, health, rights and freedoms, but also the interests of society or the state. Ukraine has gained considerable popularity terrorism and separatism, which threatens the territorial integrity, sovereignty and the very existence of Ukraine as an independent state. The armed forces and the police have never been able to fully protect these important public values. Citizens have the right to defend its own interests of society and the state, if those interests threatened.
