human rights

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the institutional and procedural aspects of the administrative and legal protection of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine through the prism of European standards during the period of martial law, as well as to identify key challenges and determine the main directions for improving the relevant human rights protection mechanisms.

Human rights are one of the most important achievements of social development, considered not only as legal constructs but also as a natural phenomenon. They arise from the very essence of human existence and reflect the inherent value of each person regardless of social status, nationality, or beliefs.

Researching the problematic aspects of realizing the constitutional right to liberty and personal inviolability under martial law is a pressing issue. This article addresses the problem of legal regulation and the practical application of coercive measures, such as the detention of an individual by an authorized official without an order from an investigative judge or court.

The article examines issues of international protection of human and civil rights during armed conflicts and traces the history of global efforts to ensure human rights in various military confrontations. The article also discusses new international policies aimed at protecting human rights in the context of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. The study analyses foreign experience in the legal regulation of human rights protection during armed conflicts, with an emphasis on international humanitarian law.

The article explores the phenomenon of international cooperation in the field of criminal law, focusing on the activities of Interpol as the main institutional mechanism of information exchange among law enforcement agencies worldwide. In the context of globalization and the increasing complexity of transnational crime, international legal cooperation becomes a vital tool for ensuring security, stability, and the rule of law.

The article examines the legal challenges associated with the development of the metaverse as a new digital environment, which fundamentally changes the way people interact with information, space and law. In the context of the formation of digital space, which is now characterized by immersiveness and interactivity, there is an urgent need to rethink traditional legal doctrines and new regulatory approaches.

This article provides a comprehensive political-legal analysis of the functioning of democratic institutions during martial law and in the post-war period in Ukraine. The author argues that the prospects of democracy after the war directly depend on the extent to which democracy is able to protect itself during wartime. The stability of a democratic regime is contingent on both state authorities and civil society. Jointly, they must ensure a balanced relationship between state security and human rights.

Abstract. The article highlights the problem of the transformation of the institution of preventive measures in criminal proceedings in Ukraine under martial law. A relevant area of study is the balance between the need for effective crime counteraction, particularly against crimes against the foundations of national security, and the state’s obligation to guarantee fundamental human rights, primarily the right to liberty and personal inviolability, which, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, is not subject to restriction even under extraordinary circumstances.

The article presents a philosophical and legal analysis of the problem of the implementation of human rights and freedoms in the conditions of the modern legal order. The starting point of the study is the proposition that human rights are not only legal constructs, but primarily moral and anthropological categories that must have a real embodiment in legal practice.
