war in Ukraine

This article reports a corpus-based comparative analysis of the English-language transcripts of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s nightly video addresses during two one-month periods of the Russia–Ukraine war: 24 February–23 March 2022 and 24 February–23 March 2023. Two specialized corpora were compiled from the official presidential website (≈60,823 and ≈28,300 tokens, respectively) and processed in LancsBox.

Abstract: this article analyzes modern international legal instruments for the protection of human rights and freedoms during a full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine, in particular during the conflict with Russia. Key international documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the role of international judicial bodies in guaranteeing justice and protecting human and citizen rights are studied.
