The article includes an analysis of the problem of constitution of the right to freedom of conscience in Ukraine. The review features both legislative confirmation and interpretation of this right, as well as aspects of historical conflicts related to its practical implementation. The study outlines the specifics of the interpretation and implementation of this right in modern Ukrainian realities. The author notes that freedom of conscience is a multidimensional concept and it is about both the legally formalized and practically implemented recognition of the human personality by the state, public, political and religious organizations and other individuals as the highest value; and about respect for its spiritual sovereignty, freedom of self-determination and self-realization in religious and other spheres of life. The article concludes with a summary indicating necessary components of the process of protecting freedom of conscience in Ukraine: protection of freedom of conscience in Ukraine at the domestic level and protection of freedom of conscience in Ukraine in the international space.
