Peculiarities of protection of human rights and freedoms under martial law in Ukraine: constitutional and legal aspect

The constitutional and legal mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms (which includes normative and institutional components) changes and acquires diff erent dimensions and special characteristics depending on whether it operates in peacetime or in confl ict. These changes should be studied in order to improve the protection of human rights and freedoms under martial law in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to provide a scientifi c analysis of the peculiarities of protection of human rights and freedoms under the martial law regime in Ukraine in the context of the constitutional and legal aspect, in particular, to determine the peculiarities of the constitutional and legal mechanism of such protection. In particular, it is noted that the constitutional and legal mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms under martial law is characterised by the following features: fi rst, the normative component of this mechanism is changing through the adoption of legal acts aimed at ensuring social protection, providing social, legal and other assistance and protecting the rights of the most vulnerable category of persons (in particular, internally displaced persons, refugees, children); second, the institutional component of this mechanism is changing, in particular, during the continuation of the At the same time, the author focuses on the problems of judicial protection of human rights, which in times of war is characterised by the emergence of a new category of disputes (family disputes related to mobilisation and exemption from it, obtaining compensation for forcibly alienated (mobilised) property, establishing the fact of living in the same family without marriage with a deceased serviceman, protection of human rights under occupation, etc.) The author proposes the author’s own doctrinal and legal formula for restricting human rights under martial law on the basis of constitutional principles and international legal standards.

Key words: human rights, protection of human rights and freedoms, martial law, temporarily occupied territories, constitutional and legal mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms, legislation, judicial protection of human rights, children’s rights, restrictions on human rights.
