The article is devoted to the study of human rights guarantees in the activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.
Our survey of prosecutors and investigators has shown that the most common reason for the incomplete implementation of guarantees of the rights and freedoms of suspects and accused persons is the failure of investigators and prosecutors to comply with the provisions of the CPC of Ukraine in terms of ensuring guarantees of rights and freedoms. This opinion was shared by 64.6% of prosecutors and 31.8% of investigators; 23.1% of prosecutors and 59.1% of investigators supported the reason that suspects and accused persons were not aware of their rights and freedoms; 12.3% of prosecutors and 9.1% of investigators drew attention to the conflict of provisions of the CPC of Ukraine regarding guarantees of rights and freedoms.
The authors concluded that emphasise that the main task of human rights guarantees is to ensure unimpeded realisation, protection and defence of human rights regardless of their status and position in the proceedings, protection against arbitrariness of the investigating authorities, and exclusion of the possibility of accusatory bias and, as a result, investigative and judicial errors.
