The role of the United Nations in the development and adoption of legal standards in the field of human rights

the purpose of the study is to analyze the role of the United Nations (UN) in the development and adoption of legal norms in the field of human rights, identify key achievements and limitations, as well as develop recommendations for improving these activities. Materials and methods. The research is based on the analysis of scientific articles on the role of the United Nations in the development and adoption of legal standards in the field of human rights and UN documents, including the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenants on Human Rights. Comparative and systematic approaches were used to assess changes in legal standards and the effectiveness of mechanisms for their implementation. Results and discussions. The UN plays a central role in shaping international norms and standards in the field of human rights, but faces serious problems such as the predominance of national priorities over global challenges, uneven implementation of international norms and insufficient attention to socio-economic rights. As a result of the research, the author offers recommendations for improving human rights protection mechanisms, including optimizing the coordination of UN activities, increasing transparency and accountability, as well as the active involvement of civil society. Conclusions. The UN's activities have significantly influenced the formation of international legal norms in the field of human rights protection, creating a system of treaties and oversight mechanisms. The recommendations put forward in the study can contribute to improving human rights protection mechanisms within the framework of UN activities, which in turn will contribute to the creation of a just international order and guarantee everyone the right to a decent life and equality before the law.
