The features of the protection of the victim’s rights during the pre-trial investigation are
considered. The victim is a party to the criminal proceedings, which is central. Ukraine is
proclaimed a democratic, rule of law state and directs its activities on the basis of
constitutional principles, in particular, a person is recognized as of the highest social value, and
criminal proceedings should ensure and protect this basic concept and orientation of the state’s
activity in the field of “human rights protection”. The legal mechanism of protection of the
victim’s rights during the pre-trial investigation is analyzed, the problems of this issue are
identified, and the ways of solving are suggested.
