Key findings:

The manual explains the content and implementation mechanisms of an individual's constitutional right to a fair trial in Ukraine. It provides a detailed analysis of the judicial system of the time, built on the principles of territoriality, specialization, and hierarchy of instances. Special attention is paid to the role of the European Court of Human Rights as an additional instrument of protection after national remedies have been exhausted, while the practical value of the book is reinforced by the provided samples of procedural documents for citizens' independent application to the court.
