The activities of the ECtHR, among other things, are of key importance for ensuring the effective functioning and continuous improvement of the international system for the protection of children's rights. Thus, the study of the ECtHR's practice in the field of protection of children's rights is relevant in view of the importance of applying appropriate approaches to resolving disputes at the national level, as well as from the point of view of improving national and international legislation in the field of protection of children's rights. Therefore, the purpose of the work is the analysis of the practice of the ECtHR in the field of the protection of children's rights, as well as the study of the peculiarities of the implementation of relevant decisions of the ECtHR at the national level. Research methods used in writing the article include analysis, synthesis, formal-logical and comparative-legal methods. As a result of the research, the authors of the article analyzed the specific decisions of the ECtHR in the field of protection of children's rights, summarized the main approaches, standards, and principles used by the ECtHR in solving relevant cases, as well as making their own proposals for improving the current legislation of Ukraine aimed at protecting children's rights.
