CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERNATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION MECHANISMS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARITAL STATE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The scientific article analyzes the essence and structural elements of the international crime prevention mechanism under the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. It is noted that in the modern conditions of the development of Ukrainian statehood and russia's aggressive military invasion of the territory of Ukraine, the protection of national security is of great importance. The main factor in this is the development of new and improvement of existing methods and measures of crime prevention, development and adoption of a comprehensive crime prevention plan. In this regard, the question arises as to the definition of the constituent elements of the crime prevention mechanism, which should be aimed at achieving a socially acceptable level of crime, minimizing the consequences of committing criminal offenses.

The rapid growth and internationalization of criminal offenses in recent years led to the expansion of cooperation between states in this direction and the creation of international universal norms that provide for the basics of preventing criminal offenses of an international nature. In addition, an important direction for the prevention of criminal offenses at the international level is the creation of separate institutions whose main task is the prevention of crime worldwide. This is important for Ukraine today, because in the conditions of martial law, in connection with the armed invasion of the russian federation on the territory of Ukraine, the international mechanisms for the prevention of war crimes are almost the most important guarantee of the restoration of justice in society.

For the effective prevention, counteraction and investigation of crimes of an international nature (cross-border, transcontinental, transnational), we consider it expedient to create international criminal justice bodies within the structure of the UN - an international organization under whose auspices the actions of nations are coordinated in order to achieve international peace and security.
