Abstract

The article analyzes the implementation of the humanism principle in the activity of
the National Police, taking into account current sociolegal challenges. An examination of
the fundamental elements of the humanistic paradigm employed within law enforcement
practices, accompanied by an in-depth exploration of its codification in legislation, is
conducted in the present study. The analysis further delves into the challenges encountered
in the operational implementation of the aforementioned approach, along with a meticulous
assessment of potential avenues for enhancement. The discussion focused on the importance
of international standards in protecting human rights, the necessity of reforming police
training methodologies, and the establishment of effective mechanisms to empower the public
in maintaining accountability. The authors put forward a series of recommendations aimed
at enhancing police activities. These recommendations are intended to promote increased
citizen trust, ensure the protection of individual rights and liberties, and optimize the efficacy
of the law enforcement system.
