Administrative justice as a mechanism for protecting subjective public rights of individuals in Ukraine and the EU

The relevance of the topic lies in the necessity to ensure effective protection of the subjective public rights of citizens in the context of Ukraine's European integration and the harmonization of national legislation with European standards. The compliance of the Ukrainian administrative justice system with EU standards is an important step towards strengthening the rule of law and ensuring the supremacy of law. The aim of the study is a detailed analysis of administrative justice as a mechanism for protecting human rights in Ukraine and the EU, as well as the examination of the functioning of different models of administrative justice. The research focuses on defining the role of administrative justice in ensuring legality in the field of public administration and controlling the activities of state and local government bodies. To achieve this goal, comparative analysis methods, a systematic approach, and the analysis of law enforcement practices were used. The study found that administrative justice is an integral part of the rule of law, providing protection of citizens' rights against unlawful actions by authorities. It was revealed that the integration of European administrative justice standards will enhance the effectiveness of citizens' rights protection in Ukraine. The implementation of European standards requires legislative improvements and the enhancement of judges' qualifications to meet European requirements. The recommendations include the necessity for further development of the legal framework, training and qualification enhancement for judges and administrative court staff, as well as the activation of scientific research aimed at developing new approaches to protecting the subjective public rights of citizens. Special attention should be paid to adapting Ukrainian legislation to EU standards, which will ensure an increased level of legal protection for citizens and strengthen trust in the judicial system.
