Cadet Albert Kubariev raised a discussion issue regarding the impact of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the development of civil legislation in Ukraine. He noted that its provisions significantly influenced the formation of the value system of Ukrainian law, defined the fundamental principles of regulating civil relations, and established the idea that the protection of human rights is not only a duty of the state but also a basic condition for the functioning of a democratic society.

Among them are the principle of equality before the law, prohibition of discrimination, freedom of contract, the right to property, the right to fair judicial protection, and respect for human dignity. Participants noted that adherence to these principles is a necessary condition for the development of legal culture in society.
