II. Listen to the text: Human Rights and Ukraine

On the session of the United Nations that took place in 1948, there was accepted the Overall Declaration of Human Rights. It had the greatest influence on the development of the human rights all over the World.

Besides in the Soviet Union there were signed some more international treaties on the human rights, including Covenant on the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Convention on Protection of the Rights of the Child, European Conven­tion on Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. But the interests of the state were above all, even above the life. The Soviet Union even tried not to participate in signing the international legal acts on the Human Rights, but in the case if they had been ratified; all the same they weren't respected.

According to the Ukrainian Constitution, “man and his rights and freedoms shall be supreme value”. Rights and freedoms are declared not only for the citizens of Ukraine, but also for the foreign subjects, and for the stateless persons.

The basic human rights could be divided into three groups. The first is the private rights; the second is political rights and the last one is economic, social and cultural rights. Among the private rights, we could distinguish: the right to life; the right to human dignity; the right to freedom and personal inviolability.

Political, economic, social rights are: the right to private property; the right to elect and be elected to state and local government bodies and to participate in the referendum; the right to the inviolability of private life, personal and family privacy and protection of honour and good name; the right to privacy of correspondence, of telephone conversations and of postal, telegraph and other communications; the right to the inviolability of the home; the right to use native language and to a free choice of the language; the right to freedom of conscience and religion; the freedom of thought and speech.

Ukraine is going on a way of becoming lawful state. In comparison with the former Soviet Union, many new civil rights and freedoms already exist in Ukraine, exist not only on the paper.
