Abstract
Ensuring the rights and monitoring the observance of the rights of convicts are important elements of the legal systems of modern democratic countries. The purpose of the article is to study the organisational and legal aspects of the organisation of public control over the observance of the rights of convicts in Ukrainian realities. To achieve this goal, the author uses a variety of theoretical research methods: content analysis, analysis, and synthesis, dialectical, hermeneutical, sociological, formal-logical, logical-semantic, and comparative legal methods. The results indicate that the legally defined activities of public associations to oversee the observance of the rights of convicts in the field of execution of sentences and probation can be described as public control. This control includes monitoring the observance of the rights and legitimate interests of convicted persons who are in relations of criminal and penal responsibility. The analysis of legislative initiatives aimed at regulating public control over the observance of the legitimate interests and rights of convicted persons in Ukraine indicates that achieving improvements in this area requires overcoming formalism in the implementation of public control, especially by supervisory boards. It is also necessary to introduce relevant amendments to the legislation. First of all, a separate section should be developed to regulate “Public control over the sphere of execution of sentences and probation”, where the essence and forms of this type of control should be defined. The conclusions state that the next mandatory step is to modernise public control over the observance of the rights and legitimate interests of persons serving sentences or probation in accordance with international standards and best practices in this area
