INTERNATIONAL LEGAL REGULATION OF ADVOCACY 

Background. At the current stage of societal development there is an urgent need for legal knowledge on advocacy organization and professional activity ethics, which are enshrined in international legal acts, as they will allow to analyze the accumulated legal experience and create their own model of rules and standards for providing professional legal services according to the requirements of international legal acts.
Analysis of recent researches and publications. A large number of scientific researchers are dedicated to the Institute of advocacy. A considerable amount of research is related to the theoretical foundations of the organization of advocacy, the ethical aspects of the advocacy, the disciplinary responsibility of the attorneys and etc. Despite the considerable attention to the issue by the scientists and practitioners, the area of international legal acts is little-explored, which should become the basic foundation for the development of the national Institute of advocacy.
The aim is an analysis of the international legal acts governing the practice of advocacy.
Materials and methods. Methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, comparison and so have allowed obtaining science-based results. Scientific works of domestic scientists, as well as international legal acts and current legislation of Ukraine became the information base of the research.
Results. The legal regulation of advocacy and advocacy work is based not only on the principles set out in domestic law, but also on generally recognized standards adopted in the international community. International legal acts are requirements for guaranteeing the rights and legitimate interests of a person who also acts against attorney as a person whose activity is aimed at protecting the rights and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, as well as public authorities and local self-government bodies. The analysis of international documents allows classifying them by object of regulation and dividing into three main groups: international acts that regulate the legal basis of the advocacy work; international acts that regulate the procedural basis of the advocacy work; international acts that determine the role of lawyers (attorneys) in society.
Conclusion. International legal acts that directly or indirectly determine the status of attorneys and advocacy work should be the basis for domestic law and law enforcement practice. The application of international standards is a necessary element of improving the efficiency of advocacy work.

Keywords: advocacy, advocacy work, international legal acts, legal services.
