Abstract

<jats:title>Summary</jats:title> The study highlights the international legal framework for the regulation of derogation of human rights and the practice of applying the latter by Ukraine, which is exercised for the first time under conditions of armed conflict and temporary loss of control over part of its territory. The essence, factors, mechanisms, peculiarities and problems related to derogation in the field of human rights, tools for its realization are revealed. The importance of using derogation of human rights as one of the "escape mechanisms" for the state is emphasized, the state's right which is of an exclusive nature, the possibility of which is provided for by the relevant international treaty, requiring compliance with agreed conditions and procedures. Comparative analysis of the provisions of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950) concerning the right of the state to derogate in the field of human rights in time of a public emergency threatening the life of the nation is made. It is emphasized that the derogation in the field of human rights requires doctrinal understanding as a kind of legitimate limitation on use of restrictions on rights. It outlines the specific measures Ukraine was forced to take in order to derogate in the field of human rights under the armed conflict and temporary loss of control over part of its territory, as well as their perception by the international community. International legal acts, case law of the European Court of Human Rights and doctrinal views on issues outlined are analyzed.
