Abstract

The relevance of present study is due to the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the European system of human rights protection, which creates the need to search for other models of external control over the observance of human rights. One of them is the protection of human rights by integration justice bodies. Despite the fact that integration in the Eurasian Economic Union is purely economic in nature, the experience of integration associations shows that even with such a paradigm, the protection of fundamental human rights can still be carried out. The advantage in this regard is the gradual formation of the human rights catalogue. The experience of the European Union shows that even without a regulatory framework similar to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, it is possible to ensure effective protection of rights and freedoms in the practice of the integration justice body. The legal analysis in this study begins with the period of the 1970s, when the EU Court determined the main features of the supranational system of human rights protection. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Court gradually expanded the range of protected rights. At the turn of the epochs, the human rights approaches of the EU Court were summarized in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in 2000. The author of the article examines the first precedents considered after the latter was given the status of the primary source of law. In conclusion, an analysis is given of recent decisions in the Melloni and M. A. S. cases, in which the EU Court formulated a very ambiguous approach regarding the scope of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
