CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF THE STATUS OF CERTAIN CITIZENS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF REFUGEES)

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific approaches to determining the constitutional and legal status of a person. The specifics of the norm of the constitutional law of Ukraine in the context of establishing in it the basic provisions of the constitutional and legal status of a person and a citizen, projecting them on the status of a refugee. It is determined that the content of a person’s legal position is determined by all those norms and the relations regulated by them that arise between the state and a person in connection with his actual place in the socio-economic, political and spiritual and moral life of our society. These relations are very diverse, they cover the most diverse aspects of life and therefore are regulated by the norms of not just one, but practically all branches of law. At the same time, constitutional norms play a special role here. As a result of their general regulatory nature, they outline the position of citizens not in any one sphere of activity, but in its main branches. At the same time, they establish only the most essential, fundamental relations between the state and its citizens in connection with their place in the management of public and state affairs, leaving the detailed regulation of such relations to the norms of other branches. It is indicated that the establishment of the foundations of the legal status of refugees by the Constitution of Ukraine also marked the beginning of the process of creating a new type of legal culture of our state and its citizens. At the same time, it is the principles of the legal status of a refugee, being formed outside of the very institution of the constitutional status of refugees, that bring to it the content that causes the need for truly historic changes in our society. Therefore, the growth of scientific interest of constitutionalists in questions of the sources, nature and legal value of the main principles of the constitutional status of refugees is quite natural.
