At the same time, security must be ensured both for each person and on a nationwide scale. It was shown that these relations have a two-way connection: human rights violations not only breach legal prohibitions, the human position in society, but also negatively affect other elements of the national security system: a society in which violations of the rights and freedoms of its members to consider reliable, responsible, civil; a state in which the rights of its citizens are violated cannot be considered law-governed and democratic, etc. The system of organizational and legal support of human rights and freedoms in the national security of Ukraine is represented by a set of hierarchically organized sources of normative regulation. A four-level system of sources is outlined in the article. Conclusions. It is concluded that human rights and freedoms today are the most important value which the state must ensure in all spheres of life, including security. The state cannot be otherwise considered legal and one which can participate in international aggression. The insurance of human rights and freedoms in the field of national security of Ukraine should begin with organizational and legal support, i. e., the creation of a reliable legal foundation for state activities to enshrine human rights and freedoms in the field of national security of Ukraine. Key words: rights and freedoms, enforcement of rights, national security, organizational and legal support, rule of law state, obligations of the state.
