description The article examines the provisions of international legislation on the use of individual armor protection by the civilian population, as well as the prospects of their implementation in national legal systems. It has been established that the international legislation on the use of armor protection by civilians is an extensive system of normative legal acts that represent the fields of international humanitarian law, international public law and international human rights law. The general purpose of these normative legal acts is to form a framework for ensuring the protection of civilians in armed conflicts at the level of national legal systems. The key provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Population in Time of War of 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 and other acts of international law defining human rights to life are characterized. and personal integrity, mechanisms for the implementation and protection of these rights, as well as the legal status of citizens in armed conflicts. It has been established that the acts of international legislation determine the guiding principles that form the basis of national laws on the use of individual armor protection by the civilian population, namely the principles of distinction, proportionality and accountability. The specified principles should serve as a guideline for national legislators when developing normative legal acts on civil protection of the population. On the example of the Republic of Bulgaria, the foreign experience of taking into account the provisions of international legislation in the development of the legal basis for the production, possession and use of individual armor protection by the civilian population is considered. The importance of the consistent implementation of the provisions of international legislation on the use of individual armor protection by the civilian population in the context of the integration of Ukraine into the global political and legal space and the implementation of the state’s obligations in the field of human rights is emphasized.
