During the second year, the most pressing issue for the entire world community is the fight against the COVID-19 virus. The situation, the precedents of which were unknown to the modern society, has become a litmus test for almost all state mechanisms in the world.As it became clear from the first days of quarantine, no system in the state was ready for such a blow. Public authorities chaotically issued regulations that largely contained prohibitions and restrictions, but did not devise a mechanism for alternative measures that could be proposed to the public as opposed to prohibitions.Restrictions affected both personal non-property rights and certain types of social, political, cultural, economic and so on.In turn, citizens were restricted in the right to peaceful assembly, the right to respect for private life, the right to respect for honor and dignity, the right to freedom of religion, the right to education, the right to access medical care.Entertainment, sports, cultural, religious and other mass events were banned. The operation of shopping and entertainment centers, catering establishments, and other cultural and sports establishments was suspended.The question of the expediency of such prohibitions in some spheres of life of our society and the outright inaction of the state in others increasingly arose among legal scholars. What was the value of the story with our citizens returning from Wuhan and being observed in Sanzhary, under the close attention of the public, which caused great panic among the population, and the crowd of workers who crossed the Ukrainian borders returning from European countries.Another very interesting topic, in our opinion, is the impossibility or unwillingness of government agencies to keep under control the pricing of protection, which at one point rose in price 10 times. Or the lack of any real social guarantees and benefits for forced unemployed citizens.This list can be very long. In this study, we tried to reveal the proportionality of the restriction of personal non-property rights of citizens during quarantine, and whether they were really necessary.
The purpose of the study was to determine the theoretical and practical problems of conducting criminal and administrative proceedings in Ukraine during martial law. Its achievement became possible thanks to the solution of the main tasks: analysis of judicial and investigative practice, regulatory provisions. To achieve the goal, a system of general scientific and special methods was used, which made it possible to take into account the peculiarities of the object and subject of research, in particular: methods of formal logic, special legal methods, and comparative legal methods; historical-legal, systemic-structural, sociological methods. Significant changes in the legal system of Ukraine during martial law are emphasized. Areas of improvement of the current legislation have been determined, with the aim of solving theoretical and practical problems of conducting criminal and administrative proceedings in Ukraine during the martial law. These are: 1) expanding the list of administrative offenses that can be prosecuted in a simplified manner; 2) introduction of administrative responsibility for the commission of certain acts during the period of martial law; 3) establishing the court's duty to verify the existence of an objective impossibility for the prosecutor to appeal to the court with an indictment, etc.
The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities of the implementation of law enforcement functions, in particular, regarding the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law by the relevant state authorities of Ukraine. The goal of the article was achieved thanks to the use of a complex of general scientific, special and statistical methods. In particular, such as the method of system analysis, logical, methods of induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, and a set of static methods. Based on the results of the research, it was determined that during the period of the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine, there were changes in substantive and procedural law, and the legal statuses of representatives of individual law enforcement agencies were revised. Some of them, in particular the police, were given additional powers. The dynamic character is also inherent in both criminal and criminal procedural legislation. The normative and legal amendments aimed at creating a safe environment in society, in particular regarding the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, ensuring the proper state of public order and public safety, were adopted and put into effect. It has been established that the task of countering war crimes, eliminating gaps in the current legislation, developing and establishing effective interaction of law enforcement agencies with other enterprises, institutions, and organizations is currently being updated.
