Abstract:

Among the topical problems of the theory of public administration, the issue of human rights, as its theoretical basis and practical imperative, occupies a special place. State administration by its social purpose and structure largely correlates with the structure and social function of human rights as a social institution, and their interaction is quite organic. In conditions of social transformations against a background of democratization of managerial processes, the observance and maintenance of these rights in everyday life is a mission of administration. The analysis of the theory and methodology of public administration based on modern approaches, enriched by human rights issues, allows us to reveal the significant democratic potential of public administration in the process of its modernization in the face of contemporary global challenges and threats. The priority state of human rights in the European society, the insufficient elaboration of the tasks of public administration for the observance, maintenance and protection of human rights justify the research topic and confirm its relevance.
