ДО ПИТАННЯ ПРО УПОВНОВАЖЕНОГО ІЗ СОЦІАЛЬНИХ ПРАВ ГРОМАДЯН

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the feasibility of introducing a specialized authorized person (ombudsman) to improve the system of state control over observance of social rights (primarily, the right to social protection). It is noted that the issue of introducing the commissioner for social rights of citizens has not received due attention from scientists. A large number of citizens' appeals to various state bodies regarding violations of social rights is an im­portant argument for regulating the status of the commissioner for social rights of citizens at the legislative level. The article presents a list of the main tasks of the commissioner for social rights of citizens, taking into account the experience of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Commissioner for Human Rights and various specialized ombudsmen.
