	The author of the article analyses the protection of the right to equal access to the civil service as one of the fundamental principles of that service itself, proclaimed both in the Constitution of Ukraine and in the Civil Service Act. The essence and content of the concept of ‘discrimination’ are determined, then national and international sources of law regulating the issues of discrimination researched while the features of the concept of ‘equal access to the civil service’ are singled out for analysis. The author studies ‘protected features’ as individual characteristics which should not be taken into account for the purposes of the different approach to or use of a particular good. The concept of an ‘integral requirement for a profession’ is considered and the limits of its application in accordance with the Ukrainian Civil Service Act are determined.
