The article examines human rights as an object of administrative and legal research, their place and significance in the system of administrative law. It is determined that human rights encompass a set of natural, inalienable and state-guaranteed rights and freedoms that are enshrined in international and national regulatory legal acts. Administrative law provides mechanisms for the implementation of these rights through the system of public administration, administrative procedures and human rights institutions. It has been stated that the study of human rights as an object of administrative and legal research is driven by the following factors: the processes of globalization, which contribute to the expansion of the scope of administrative law and the strengthening of the influence of international human rights standards on national legislation; the continuous development of administrative law in response to new societal challenges; and the democratization of society, which leads to the growing role of human rights in all spheres of social life, including administrative and legal relations. The key principles of administrative and legal regulation of human rights are determined, and directions for improving the mechanisms for their protection are outlined. The main mechanisms of administrative and legal regulation of the rights and freedoms of citizens are considered, including administrative services, the procedure for contacting state authorities, access to public information and legal guarantees for the protection of personal data. It is proposed to define the mechanism of administrative and legal protection of human rights as a set of legal norms, institutions, and procedures that ensure the protection and restoration of violated rights and freedoms of citizens in the field of administrative law. The author came to the conclusion that human rights as an object of administrative and legal research involve the development and implementation of strategies, legislative and administrative mechanisms aimed at the effective functioning of the system for protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. This includes creating appropriate conditions for their implementation in various spheres of public life, ensuring equal access to public services, adhering to human rights standards in the activities of public authorities, and developing effective mechanisms for administrative appeal and judicial protection.
