Efficiency of International Law Mechanisms for Human Rights Protection in Education

Abstract

Objectives. The study deals with international law mechanisms for human rights protection in education. The aim of the study is to analyse and evaluate the effectiveness of international law mechanisms for human rights protection in education. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical basis of the research was made up of the scientific works of scientists, quality and qualitative indicators of research, and the regulatory and legal framework. Methods: The research employed the method of comparison, visual graphic methods, a set of methods of processing, comprehension and interpretation of information. Results and Discussion: The study established the most common types of violations in the field of education, in particular: violation of the right of national minorities to education; impossibility of choosing the language of instruction; failure to provide inclusive education; discrimination against people with mental illness. Specific manifestations of the effectiveness of international law mechanisms for the human rights protection in the field of education are singled out, in particular: increasing public awareness and transparency of government activity, etc. Research Implications: The study gave grounds to draw the conclusions regarding the difficulty of proving the existence of violations in education. Attention is drawn to the subjectivity of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the ambiguous interpretation of norms enshrined in international legal acts. Originality/Value: The research is original, based on official data and the author's own conclusions, and has practical significance.
