Abstract
The study delves into the optimisation of Ukrainian legislation in line with European human rights standards to shed light on the best strategies for achieving this. Visual and graphical methods were employed in the study, and the number of applications to the European Court of Human Rights (the ECtHR) by EU candidate countries was compared. The result of the study is the identification of potential areas of optimisation of Ukrainian legislation in line with European human rights standards. By understanding these areas, we can work towards a more just and equitable legal system. The number of applications to the ECtHR for the protection of violated rights received from citizens of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova in 2021, 2022, and 2023 is determined. The article analyses the status of bringing Ukrainian legislation into line with European human rights standards through the prism of applications to protect violated rights.
