The article analyzes the role of international organizations in the process of rehabilitation of illegally convicted persons. It is noted that the activities of international organizations are aimed at ensuring justice and protecting the rights of illegally convicted persons through recommendations and requirements for rehabilitation, compensation for damage and restoration of rights. They provide expert assistance in the development and improvement of national legal mechanisms for rehabilitation, contribute to the improvement of the qualifications of judges and lawyers, and also ensure monitoring of compliance with human rights. Thanks to their activities, states receive the necessary tools to improve justice and ensure the protection of the rights of illegally convicted persons. The emphasis is on the fact that international organizations also contribute to the harmonization of national legislation with international standards for the protection of human rights, thereby ensuring the compliance of national legal systems with best world practices. Their activities help to establish transparent and effective rehabilitation mechanisms, contributing to the creation of conditions for longterm stability and social justice. This, in turn, increases public trust in justice and contributes to the development of a legal culture in society. International standards for ensuring the rehabilitation of wrongfully convicted persons have been proven to be critically important for ensuring justice and protecting human rights. They require a fair trial, access to effective means of appealing against sentences, and the provision of full compensation for moral and material damage. The implementation of these standards helps to strengthen trust in the legal system and contributes to the creation of a just society. Thus, compliance with international standards for ensuring the rehabilitation of wrongfully convicted persons is an important element of building a just and legal society. This helps to strengthen trust in the legal system and contributes to the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. The implementation of these standards has a positive impact on the development of the country's legal system and its harmonization with international norms.
