The concept of the international documents which are provided by Ukraine are analyzed and allocated the standards of formation and realization of state policy that contributed to the conclusion that international and european standards for the formation and realization of state policy do not has a common unified view. They are exist in the form of principles, rules, recommendations, references, characteristics, which are enshrined in international documents (conventions, declarations, resolutions, etc.) and are accepted on a universal level – the Organization of United Nations, and on the regional – the Council of Europe.
