Особисті немайнові права в умовах сучасної війни: український досвід трансформації стандартів захисту права на життя

Abstract

Introduction. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, the legal system of Ukraine has encountered challenges unprecedented in global practice. The core issue emerged as the necessity to guarantee the absolute nature of the right to life, enshrined in Artіcle 27 of the Constitution of Ukraine, amidst a total threat to national security. Traditional human rights protection mechanisms proved insufficiently adapted to the conditions of a large-scale war and massive attacks on the civilian population. A dissonance arose between the normative recognition of life as the highest value and the capacity of state institutions to fulfill positive obligations regarding preventive protection and evacuation. The issue of the liability of officials for inaction in ensuring the protection of life has become a critical societal necessity, requiring immediate theoretical re-evaluation and legislative regulation.
