Annotation The article discusses the main directions of improvement for constitutional provision in Ukraine for fundamental human rights and the rights of the citizen. These areas are: to bring the Constitution into closer conformity with international human right standards; not to be limited only by the names of the rights and freedoms in the relevant articles of the Constitution, and in all cases also to indicate the main elements of their contents; while securing the rights and freedoms also to include instructions and the corresponding positive obligations of the State to enforce them; to adjust the basic limits of the rights and freedoms so that they were not broader than those contained in international treaties ratified by Ukraine; to specify names of bearers of different types of rights and freedoms in separate articles of the Constitution. Concrete examples of such proposals are shown.
Keywords fundamental human rights, constitutional rights of the citizen, guarantee of the rights of man and citizen, constitutional duties of citizens.
