Email this article CRIMINAL AND LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WAR CRIMES UNDER INTERNATIONAL AND UKRAINIAN LEGISLATION: ANALYSIS, PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This research article provides a detailed analysis of the criminal law characteristics of war crimes in the context of international humanitarian law and Ukrainian legislation, with particular attention to the aspects related to the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine. The article begins with a historical overview of the development of international law governing the conduct of hostilities and their criminalisation at the national level, with a focus on the changes made to Ukrainian legislation in response to military aggression. The authors examine in detail the categories of war crimes defined in the statutes of international tribunals as well as in Ukrainian legislation, analysing them through the prism of specific events that occurred during the war with the Russian Federation. The article also contains a section on international legal cooperation in the prosecution of war criminals, with a special focus on the mechanisms of interaction between Ukraine and international judicial institutions. The conclusions of the article emphasise the need for further development of Ukrainian legislation in the context of criminalisation of war crimes and its adaptation to international standards, as well as the importance of international legal support for Ukraine in the fight against impunity for war crimes.
