Abstract

The paper analyzes the concept of relational subjective rights as rights in relation to a certain person, examines the problematic issues of their definition, and compares them with absolute rights. Based on an analysis of the theory of subjective rights, approaches to understanding their essence, the author draws a conclusion about the relational nature of any subjective right that reflects the principle of relativity in law. However, when the relationship between a legally enforceable possibility and necessity is direct an corresponding, the subjective right is characterized as relational, the consequence of which is the specific possibility of applying measures of liability to a certain person for non-compliance with a relational right and a higher standard of good faith of the obliged person. The paper substantiates that the doctrine of relational rights, significantly developed in civil science, has a general theoretical and legal significance, which allows us to talk about their existence not only in private, but also in public law. The relativity of rights and obligations in the public legal sphere is based on the concept of a social contract, which implies communication between the state and society, an official and a citizen, taking into account mutual consensus.
