THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND RELIGION

Abstract

The constitutional right to freedom of thought and religion is an integral part of the system of constitutional rights and freedoms and is formed as a constitutional and legal institution to some extent, which, generally speaking, can be considered as an integral part of the legal system of Ukraine as a whole. Freedom of religion as a social (natural) phenomenon belongs to basic human rights, namely, personal. Basic human rights are certain opportunities that are necessary for existence and development in concrete historical conditions that are objectively conditioned by the achieved level of human development and must be universal and equal for all people. The terms "rights" and "freedom" of man are practically used as synonyms. If the meaning of the concept of "human rights" is interpreted through the philosophical category of "opportunity", then such an interpretation embraces is suitable for "freedom". All this led to the need to create appropriate conditions for legal regulation and the securement of human rights and freedoms in the religion field, both nationally and internationally. The basis of the research is the Constitution of Ukraine in 1996, international legal treaties and other sources. Scientific sources and national legislation were researched for the purpose of comparative legal analysis of the nature of the constitutional human right to freedom of the worldview and religion and the guarantees of their abidance in Ukraine.
