Administrative litigation can affect almost every aspect of a person's life, such as custody, immigration, welfare, and housing. At the same time, the decisions made by state authorities are not always legal and those that meet international legal standards. At present, it can be said that administrative law is becoming globalised, as well as, in particular, administrative proceedings. The relevance of the subject matter is conditioned by the necessity of analysing the topics of human rights protection in administrative proceedings from the standpoint of international law, as well as the insufficient theoretical development of this subject. Considering that international law has an impact on the rule of law of states, including in administrative proceedings, it would be appropriate to analyse international legal acts in this area. The purpose of the study is to analyse the sources of international law on human rights protection in administrative proceedings. Upon the study of the subject matter, a set of general scientific and special methods of cognition were used, in particular, the leading methods were as follows: the method of system analysis; historical legal method; comparative legal method. The study comprehensively considers the issue of protecting human rights in administrative proceedings from the standpoint of international law, in particular, on the universal and regional level, namely within the framework of the European legal space. It was established that the authorities have a key role in democratic societies and their activities affect the rights and interests of individuals and legal entities. The practical significance lies in that the provisions and conclusions formulated in the study can be used in the research area – for further research on general theoretical issues of protecting human rights in administrative proceedings
