The impact of autonomous robots on society and law: a forecasting dimension
type: item
description: Problem setting. Modern social reality is characterized by an unprecedented total transformation of individual and social existence under global technological influence, caused by the development of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and global crises that change human nature, values, and paradigms of human development. Autonomous robots are one of many technologies created by humans and used by them for various purposes, both good and, conversely, not good. The question arises: what role do law, ethics, and politics play in regulating this influence and in ensuring the protection of the fundamental values of society? The answer to this question requires an interdisciplinary approach, since only by considering it from different perspectives can the social and legal impact of such systems be understood. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The problematic issues in research on the technological impact on society, individuals, and law are interdisciplinary. Recently, scientists and futurists have actively discussed questions regarding the status of a person under the influence of technological advancements (R. Kurzweil, A. Reqwitz, M. Bordes and others). Researchers pay significant attention to ethical boundaries, social and existential risks (S. Russell). Ukrainian researchers, in their works, analyze the impact of the development of digital technologies, which are developing exponentially, on society, individuals, and the law; they discuss the existential meanings of social singularity, the image of the future of humanity. This issue is addressed in the works of scholars of the Ukrainian socio-philosophical school: N. Ventsel, V. Voronkova, N. Kovtun, O. Konovalенко and I. Utyuzh, and others. In the works of Ukrainian legal scholars, the philosophical-legal aspects of the technological attitude to legal knowledge and the digitization of law are highlighted (Zh. Pavlenko and others), questions of fundamental values in modern conditions (Yu. Razm…

Principles of artificial intelligence in law
type: item
description: Problem setting. The technological advances we have seen in recent years have allowed autonomous AI systems to become increasingly complex. This offers great benefits for both individual users and society. However, it is important that such systems do not violate social norms. As autonomous systems are no longer viewed as mere tools, but are gradually taking on functions that previously could only be performed by humans, even to the role of guardians and interactive agents, the appropriateness of their actions and choices necessarily includes normative considerations. This implies regulatory sensitivity and a certain level of regulatory decision-making, the consequences of which are far-reaching. Analysis of recent researches and publications. A wide range of ethical principles and values to be relied upon in the development and deployment of autonomous robots has been presented by various authoritative organizations. In particular, these principles were formulated by the European Commission in 2019 in the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, in the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of AI, developed under the auspices of the University of Montreal following the Forum on the Socially Responsible Development of AI in November 2017, and in the ASILOMAR AI Principles, developed under the auspices of the Future of Life Institute in cooperation with participants of the highlevel ASILOMAR Conference in January 2017. In Ukraine, the regulation of АІ is at an early stage. In 2020, the Concept for the Development of AI in Ukraine was approved, aiming to propose an approach to regulating artificial intelligence technologies. In December 2024, the Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Ethical and Responsible Use of АІ was adopted, guiding companies toward the implementation of ethical principles in their internal processes, providing for risk assessment and adaptive implementation of measures, as well as the establishment of a self-regulatory body to support cooper…

Innovative solutions for forced opening of vehicles in police activities
type: item
description: Problem setting. The article examines the current issues of improving police activities in the field of forced opening of vehicles in the context of modern security challenges. The authors focus on the need to develop and implement innovative technical means aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the response of employees of the National Police of Ukraine in situations related to a threat to life and health of people or the need to stop offenses. Analysis of recent researches and publications. A significant number of fundamental and applied research works by scholars such as A. S. Vasilyev, E. V. Dodin, O. V. Kuzmenko, V. I. Kurylo, S. G. Stetsenko, A. O. Sobakar, V. K. Shkarupa, and others. It is worth highlighting the opinion of R. M. Pylypiv, who proposes adding to preventive police measures the authority to require the driver of a vehicle lawfully stopped to open the window by at least two-thirds, turn on the interior lights of the vehicle, and not leave the vehicle without a specific command from the police officer. Purpose of the research is to provide a scientific basis for the design and operating principles of a specialized device for the forced entry of vehicles, as well as to develop an effective and safe methodology for its use in the official duties of National Police of Ukraine officers at the national level. Methodology. Scientific and practical approaches to creating a specialized device for forced opening of vehicles are analyzed, its design features and principle of operation are determined. It is established that the device for forced opening of a vehicle is a fixed and ready-to-use specially oriented device, which is a rigid structure consisting of a fixing frame, which rests on the glass surface using vacuum suction cups, and an impact inertial hammer located perpendicular to the glass with a movable striker in the handle for accelerating the hammer. Article’s main body. The technical characteristics of the device for forced opening of vehicle…

Legal regulation of construction waste management from an environmental perspective
type: item
description: Problem setting. The issue of legal regulation of construction waste management has become one of the most pressing challenges of modern environmental law in the context of intensive urbanization and infrastructure development. The rapid growth of construction activities generates significant volumes of construction and demolition waste, which often contain hazardous components and create a considerable technogenic burden on the environment. In many cases, the existing legal framework does not sufficiently reflect the specific nature of such waste, resulting in environmental risks, ineffective control mechanisms, and insufficient liability of business entities. Therefore, the need to improve legal regulation and ensure environmentally sound construction waste management is both scientifically and practically significant. Analysis of recent research and publications. The legal and environmental aspects of construction waste management have been increasingly addressed in contemporary legal scholarship. Both domestic and foreign researchers emphasize the necessity of implementing integrated legal mechanisms, strengthening environmental responsibility, and introducing circular economy principles. Among Ukrainian scholars who have contributed to the development of environmental and natural resource law in this area are A.P. Hetman, V.L. Bredikhina, Yu.S. Shemshuchenko, N.R. Malysheva, H.N. Polyanska, V.G. Emelyanova, V.V. Nosik and others. Their works highlight the need to modernize environmental legislation and align it with European legal standards. Target of the research. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal framework governing construction waste management from an environmental perspective, identify its shortcomings and gaps, and propose directions for improving legislation in this field. The research also aims to assess environmental risks associated with construction waste and to develop recommendations for strengthening legal liability and enhancing e…

On the issue of information and cybersecurity in the activities of probation authorities
type: item
description: Background. The rapid development of information technologies and the intensive digitalization of public administration significantly affect the functioning of the probation system in Ukraine. Along with positive effects related to efficiency, accessibility, and optimization of control and supervisory measures, these processes generate new risks in the field of information and cybersecurity, particularly in relation to the processing and protection of personal data of probation subjects. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of information and cybersecurity in the activities of probation authorities in Ukraine through the prism of regulatory and legal regulation and practical implementation, as well as to identify key problems and outline priority directions for improving institutional capacity in this area under modern conditions. Methods. The study is based on a set of general scientific and special legal research methods, including analysis and synthesis, formal-legal, comparative-legal, systemic and structural-functional methods. Normative legal acts regulating probation activities, information protection and personal data processing were analyzed, along with practical aspects of the functioning of authorized probation bodies. Results.

Some problems of adaptation of Ukrainian renewable energy sources an legislation in the field of alternative energy sources to the EU acquis
type: item
description: Problem setting. For our state, the development of renewable energy sources has acquired special importance and weight in view of military actions, the destruction of critical infrastructure by the aggressor, the seizure of a nuclear power plant, etc. At the same time, one of the key aspects aimed at forming a legal framework for stimulating and developing alternative energy sources also remains the obligations taken by Ukraine within the framework of European integration processes. The formation of a system of effective energy legislation is, on the one hand, a long-term and multi-stage process, and on the other hand, interdependent on the level of development of social relations, politics, and the economy of the state. Thus, there is a need to study the issue of legal regulation and identify the main problematic aspects of adapting Ukrainian legislation in the field of renewable energy sources to European legislation. Analysis of recent research and publications. Several both Ukrainian and foreign scientists have studied the issues of proper regulatory regulation of legal relations in the energy sector in general and in individual areas. In particular, the issues of legal support for the sustainable development of the energy system of Ukraine under martial law and post-war recovery were analyzed in their work by I.V. Podrez-Ryapolova. Lenger Ya.I. Demchuk A.M., Chumachenko I.E., studied the issues of the genesis of European energy policy, international legal regulation of alternative energy, etc. Particular attention was paid to the issues of considering the directions of accelerated development of renewable energy in the European Union in the work of Díaz-Cuevas P., Pérez-Pérez B., Lopes H.L., & Ferreira P. on the example of Portugal. Purpose of the research is to research into the main current problems of approximating the Ukrainian regulatory framework in the field of renewable energy sources to the provisions of European Union law. The article was carried out …

Theoretical framework of state incentives for renewable energy sector development
type: item
description: Problem setting. The critical importance of energy generation from renewable energy sources amid contemporary challenges necessitates the need for state incentives for the development of this economic sector. Analysis of recent researches and publications. More than thirty scientific works that directly or indirectly investigate the issues of state incentives for the development of the renewable energy sector have been analyzed. It is concluded that while the description of specific incentive instruments prevails in scholarly literature, there is a lack of systematic study regarding the theoretical foundations of state incentives for the development of renewable energy sources. Purpose of the research is to generalize the theoretical provisions of state incentives for the development of renewable energy and to substantiate directions for improving state policy and legal framework in this field. Article’s main body. The conceptual framework of state incentives for economic development are considered, specifically: the essence of state incentives as a component of state economic policy, the classification of incentives, potential risks and causes of inefficiency of incentives, and control mechanisms. The national legislation regulating the processes of development and implementation of the state incentive policy is analyzed. The specific features of the renewable energy sector are highlighted. Provisions that should be integrated into the legal framework for renewable energy incentives are formulated. The directions for stimulating the renewable energy sector are identified, and the main incentive instruments within these directions are listed. The primary risks of state incentives for renewable energy development are considered. The reasons for the gradual transformation of incentive mechanisms are substantiated. The regulatory acts defining the state policy for stimulating renewable energy and regulating incentive measures are listed and categorized. It identifies g…

Integration of smart grids and renewable energy sources in the automotive sector in the context of Ukraine’s energy transition
type: item
description: Problem setting. Transport electrification is not only a technological process but also a structural factor in the transformation of Ukraine’s energy sector. The modern paradigm of decarbonization leads to the systemic convergence of the energy and transport sectors, where large-scale electrification acts as a catalyst for the transformation of vehicles from passive consumers into active intelligent nodes of the energy network. The introduction of bidirectional energy transfer (V2G) technologies and the concept of «smart» charging allows the integration of the electric vehicle fleet into the overall power balancing system, transforming it into a distributed flexibility resource. This synergistic approach not only stabilizes the power system in conditions of high intermittent generation from renewable sources, but also forms a new architecture of energy security, where transport infrastructure becomes an integral element of demand management. Analysis of recent researches and publications. An analysis of recent studies and publications on the chosen topic shows that the theoretical, methodological, and practical essence of «smart grids» has been the subject of scientific research by various scholars. Thus, in their publications, the category of «smart grids” was analyzed by Bugazianus C. M., Putsenteilo P. R., Ru J. et al. The following scientists have paid attention to innovations in the automotive sector, including electric vehicles, in their scientific works: Acharige S. S. G. et al., Ashfaq M. et al., Naseem H. et al., Sanjana D. et al., Prokopenko O. V., Välk K. Among scientists, the issues of energy transition were studied by Zvarych R. E. and Kharkovskyi B. V., Shkurat M. E. and Kuzmenko E. G. Target of research. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of transport electrification and the implementation of Smart Grid and RES technologies as interrelated components of Ukraine’s energy transition, as well as to study the legal, economic…

Fostering veterans business development in Ukraine: international experience from the United States
type: item
description: Problem Statement. The full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has led to a sharp increase in the number of war veterans, for whom the issue of returning to peaceful life has taken on not only a social but also an economic dimension. After completing their military service, a significant number of veterans face difficulties in finding employment, limited opportunities for professional fulfilment, psychological consequences of combat experience, and the need for financial stability. In these circumstances, the development of veteran-owned businesses is seen as one of the most effective tools for economic reintegration, self-employment and increasing the level of social inclusion of veterans and their families. Despite the existence of individual programmes to support veterans in Ukraine, the system for promoting the development of veteran entrepreneurship remains fragmented, insufficiently coordinated and does not fully take into account the complex needs of this social group. The lack of stable financial mechanisms, limited access to educational and advisory resources, and insufficient coordination between state institutions, local authorities and civil society organisations reduce the effectiveness of the implementation of relevant policies. Purpose of the Article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of social protection and the development of veteran businesses in Ukraine under martial law, as well as to identify ways to adapt best practices for creating an effective state system for reintegration and supporting entrepreneurial initiatives by veterans, based on an analysis of international experience (particularly in the United States). Article’s main body. The article is devoted to researching the promotion of business development among war veterans in Ukraine and international experience in the United States. This article examines the issue of meeting the needs of veterans and adapting best international practices. The latest appr…

The theoretical and legal foundations of prohibiting discrimination against war veterans
type: item
description: Problem setting. One of the problems of contemporary law is ensuring the observance of the rights of war veterans and their unbiased treatment, which is conditioned by the steady growth of this category among the population and the significance of military feats of war veterans for Ukrainian statehood. Purpose of the research. The purpose of the article is to analyze the theoretical and legal foundations of prohibiting discrimination against war veterans in modern conditions. The article aims to address the following tasks: 1) whether the status of a war veteran falls under the current concept of a “protected ground” in Ukrainian anti-discrimination law; 2) whether veteran status requires independent normative recognition as a basis for enhanced legal protection; 3) the correlation between the principles of equality, non-discrimination, and affirmative action regarding war veterans.the possibility of including the legal status of war veterans among the list of protected grounds in anti-discrimination law. The research is based on works addressing the theory of equality law and criteria for defining protected grounds (Kate Malleson), the justification of interrelations between equality, non-discrimination, and protected characteristics (Sandra Fredman), and the principle of equality (Anne Bayefsky). Ukrainian scholars who have addressed the issue of protected grounds in anti-discrimination law include Yu. V. Pozharov, O. V. Pozharov, S. V. Vyshnovetska, T. A. Doroshenko, among others. Article’s main body. The article examines the problem of rethinking classical approaches to the list of protected grounds in anti-discrimination law and the limits of applying the principle of equality, caused by the transformation of Ukrainian society and the formation of war veterans as a new socially vulnerable group. The author notes that contemporary anti-discrimination law is developing toward an expanded understanding of protected grounds, combining formal, substantive, and right…

Joint activities, partnerships and other forms of cooperation in the economy: contractual and legal foundations
type: item
description: Problem setting. In the context of transformation of economic processes, complication of the market environment and strengthening of crisis factors in the economic system of Ukraine, cooperation in the field of management acquires special importance. The latter reflects a complex system of property, organizational, including organizational and managerial relations between participants in economic relations. The multidimensionality of the concept of “cooperation” necessitates the delimitation of its forms, clarification of the categorical apparatus and determination of the functional purpose of the corresponding contractual structures in the system of economic and legal regulation of various forms of interaction of economic law subjects. At both the legislative and theoretical levels, a holistic approach to the general concept of cooperation in the field of management and the system of its contractual and legal support has not yet been formed, which necessitates their doctrinal understanding. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Certain aspects of the legal regulation of joint activities and their contractual support are the subject of scientific works by a number of domestic scholars and lawyers, among whom it is worth noting: O. E. Blazhivska, M. R. Garibadze, V. K. Gutsulyak, Yu. A. Dmytrieva, V. M. Kossak, I. I. Kylymnyk, O. A. Pidoprihora, S. Yu. Pogulyaev, V. V. Reznikov, O. E. Kharitonov, K. V. Shaperenkov, G. V. Yurovska, Yu. M. Yurkevich and others. At the same time, general issues of cooperation and the delimitation of its forms in the field of management, as a necessary basis for the specialization of contractual structures related to their regulation, remain insufficiently studied. As a result, the fragmentation of legal regulation of cooperation within the framework of economic turnover complicates its proper contractual registration, which necessitates the theoretical understanding of the functional purpose of the relevant agreements.

Control and monitoring of labor and entrepreneurial rights of war veterans as a research process
type: item
description: Problem setting. The actualization of the problem of control and monitoring of the labor and entrepreneurial rights of war veterans is driven by the need to improve the conditions for their realization. The purpose of this article. The purpose of the article is to highlight the achievements of the research process regarding the creative idea of revealing the problem of ensuring control and monitoring in the system of functioning of the adaptation mechanism for the implementation of labor and entrepreneurial rights of war veterans, as well as – to present the results of the study of a promising direction for improving the provisions of Ukrainian legislation on war veterans. Article’s main body. Specific elements of the functional system of the mechanism for veterans’ adaptation to civilian life during the recovery period are considered. The feasibility of integrating monitoring and control into the labor-legal adaptation mechanism in order to correct its elements is substantiated. Corrections are proposed to achieve a balance in the use of tools and opportunities for state and non-state control, audit, self-control, and other forms of social monitoring. Adjustments are proposed to achieve a balance in the application of instruments and opportunities for state and non-state control, auditing, self-control, and other forms of social monitoring. Emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of the legislative framework for the implementation of the right to entrepreneurial activity of war veterans. A comprehensive analysis of the legal status of war veterans in the field of labor and entrepreneurship showed the insufficiency of modern knowledge in the research process of relevant problems, as well as the presence of gaps. Conclusions. It is proposed to create a system for monitoring the effectiveness of ensuring veterans’ rights; to conduct regular assessments of the impact on the development of veteran entrepreneurship; and to amend the requirements for monitoring compliance …

On some problems of implementing probation in Ukraine
type: item
description: Problem setting. Achieving the goals of punishment declared in the national criminal legislation provides for the necessary prerequisite of the introduction of modern probation in Ukraine as a component of criminal justice. But such a novel faces a complex of regulatory and organizational difficulties that reduce the effectiveness of not only the punitive effect, but also supervision and social and educational work with respect to persons to whom punishments not related to deprivation of liberty have been applied. In practice, the problem manifests itself in gaps in national legislation regarding the regulation of remote forms of control, uneven staffing of units, the complication of interaction with subjects of probation under martial law and the lack of a holistic state policy on the prevention of repeated criminal offenses, in particular with respect to persons who have found themselves in temporarily occupied territories or internally displaced persons. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issue of introducing the institution of probation in Ukraine, as well as the interaction of bodies and institutions of the State Penal Service of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the State Penal Service of Ukraine) in particular, as well as directly of probation bodies with state and public institutions in the field of execution of criminal sentences, was addressed by a number of scholars in the field of penal law and probation, in particular: K.A. Avtukhov, E.Yu. Barash, O.I. Bogatyreva, I.G. Bogatyrev, A.O. Galai, O.O. Gomanyuk, T.A. Denisova, V.M. Dryomin, O.G. Kolb, Y.O. Levchenko, V.O. Navrotsky, M.S. Puzyryov, M.V. Romanov, A.Kh. Stepanyuk, M.I. Khavronyuk, D.V. Yagunov, I.S. Yakovets. Abstract. The paper examines the problems of implementing probation in Ukraine through the prism of regulatory and legal regulation and the practice of the authorized bodies on probation issues under martial law. The difficulties of ensuring control and socio-educational …

Legal status of artificial intelligence carriers: ontological and prognotic aspects
type: item
description: Problem setting. Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, not only transforming various fields of knowledge and social life, but even revolutionizing them. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence, such as GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), makes it possible to create new content autonomously even in areas that have traditionally been considered, so to speak, “exclusively human,” and that are directly related to the most important and sensitive issues, namely human life, health, and safety. Examples include the pharmaceutical industry, personalized medicine, and research aimed at addressing climate change and sustainable development, among others. In connection with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, humanity is facing new problems as well as ethical and social challenges, such as privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for global governance. In the context of these global transformations, both at the national and international levels, intense debates are taking place within academic circles, and various approaches to the legal regulation of artificial intelligence are being developed. These approaches are usually based on ethical principles and safety standards. In light of these trends, there is an emerging and increasingly urgent call to understand the legal status of artificial intelligence entities and to ensure their implementation within the legal system. Given the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies at the current stage of societal development, it can be assumed that in the near future new paradigms and separate legal regimes may be required to develop legal procedures related to artificial intelligence entities. Therefore, under conditions of the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, a number of issues are arising and becoming increasingly relevant, particularly those related to determining the legal status of artificial …

The issue of determining the form of a contract for the hire of a vehicle with a crew to which an individual entrepreneur is a party
type: item
description: Problem setting. The legal status of an individual entrepreneur in its civil law dimension is quite controversial. On the one hand, an individual entrepreneur is a person; therefore, the peculiarities of their legal status are often defined only as a ‘superstructure’ over the legal status of an individual. On the other hand, the legislator has extended the regulation of those normative legal acts that govern the entrepreneurial activity of legal entities, whose peculiarities of legal status are determined by their differences from individuals, to the activities of individual entrepreneurs. One of the problems caused by an individual entrepreneur’s dual legal status is determining the form of the contract. This problem arises in cases where the contract requires notarisation, and the need for such certification is made dependent by law on its subject matter. This problem also arises in a contract for the hire (lease) of a vehicle with a crew, for which the law requires notarisation when the party to the contract is a natural person. Analyses of recent research and publications. The problem of determining the form of a contract for the hire (lease) of a vehicle with a crew, to which an individual entrepreneur is a party, has not yet been the subject of separate scientific research. Within the scope of their own research, scholars such as L.L. Tarasenko, I.A. Selivanova, V.M. Kossak, and N.S. Kuznetsova, Z.V. Romovska, and D.V. Bobrova have drawn attention to the problem caused by the dual legal status of individual entrepreneurs. At the same time, in the context of a contract for the hire (lease) of a vehicle with a crew, this issue has not yet been comprehensively studied. Although the issue raised has been the subject of some research and has been repeatedly reviewed by the courts, it not only retains its theoretical and practical significance, but also becomes even more acute after the Economic Code of Ukraine ceased to be in force. The purpose of the study. The ke…

EU taxonomy as an instrument of sustainable finance: prospects for implementation in Ukraine
type: item
description: Problem setting. The global transition toward environmentally sustainable economic activities is driven by the need to protect the environment and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The EU Taxonomy has become a central regulatory tool for directing capital into green and climate-neutral projects and now serves as a reference point for countries seeking closer integration with European financial markets. Ukraine faces the task of adapting this framework to its legal system, which is essential both for meeting EU integration commitments and for attracting investment into post-war reconstruction, particularly in renewable energy. Analysis of recent research and publications. The development of a national taxonomy of sustainable activities and the principles of sustainable finance has been addressed by Ukrainian scholars such as A.A. Honta, M.Yu. Hryhorak, O. I. Volovyk, I. O. Makarenko, R.M. Fominov, N.V. Trushkina, H. P. Bortnikov, T. V. Oriekhova ta O. M. Riabchyn. Purpose of research. To examine the development process, legal mechanisms, and institutional architecture of the EU Taxonomy, to assess the state of its implementation in Ukraine, and to formulate recommendations for introducing a national taxonomy of sustainable economic activities. Article’s main body. The article examines the evolution, legal mechanisms, and institutional architecture of the EU Taxonomy as a classifier of sustainable economic activities, including Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and the relevant delegated acts. It demonstrates the Taxonomy’s integration into financial and corporate disclosure regimes under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The role of the European Commission, the Platform on Sustainable Finance, the Member States Expert Group, and the European Supervisory Authorities in shaping and updating technical screening criteria is characterized. Emphasis is placed on the market effect of transparency: altho…

Some problems of legal regulation of the activities of authorized bodies in the sphere of ensuring competition in the electricity market of Ukraine
type: item
description: Problem setting. Ukraine has long paid considerable attention to the creation of legal prerequisites for the establishment and operation of relevant institutions authorized to protect and ensure competition in the electricity market of Ukraine. This is highlighted in several regulatory legal acts. However, as of now, the formation of a fully competitive electricity market in our country has not been completed, which is associated, among other things, with some problems in the activities of relevant authorized bodies in this area. Thus, there is a need to study the issue of legal regulation of the activities of bodies authorized to ensure the protection of competition in the electricity market, identify the main problematic issues and make proposals for improving legislation in this area. Analysis of recent research and publications. Some individual aspects of the issue of ensuring competition in the electricity market of Ukraine have been given attention in the works of Ukrainian scientists. S. Hlibko, A. Chupryna, I. Podrez-Ryapolova studied the problems of sustainable innovative development of the energy system and the role of investment funds in stimulating investments in energy-efficient, renewable, and innovative technologies, which corresponds to Ukraine’s European integration aspirations. D.K. Tkach considered the directions of reforming the electricity market, which began in July 2019, etc. Of course, foreign scientists also paid attention to the issues of the electricity market in the work of Bowen W., Hill E., Thomas A., Liu R., Henning M. the issue of the impact of deregulated electricity markets on consumer prices using the example of individual states of the United States of America was studied. However, despite the large number of publications on this issue, there remain a number of issues that require further development, in particular, legal regulation of the definition of the powers of relevant bodies in ensuring the development and protection of co…

Updating the legal support for humanitarian demining in Ukraine with innovative approaches to land release
type: item
description: Problem setting. The article is devoted to researching the updating of legal support for the application of existing methods and technologies, as well as the improvement of artificial intelligence and other innovative technologies for humanitarian demining in Ukraine. This is critically important for restoring access to and safe use of agricultural land, which is the first priority of humanitarian demining. Analyses of recent researches and publications. The issue of legal support for mine action has been explored in the works of O.M. Botnarenko (on the subjects of mine action), B. Derevianko (on the legal and organisational aspects of demining and land reclamation), S. Poteriaika and A. Okipnyak (mechanisms of state management in the field of mine action). A comprehensive study was presented by Academician V.P. Gorbulin at the beginning of the full-scale war. A thorough description of the subjects of administrative and legal support for mine action in Ukraine based on their current powers was provided by V.I. Teremets and M.Yu. Marchenko. The purpose of this article is to examine the peculiarities and formulate proposals for updating the legal framework for humanitarian demining in Ukraine with innovative approaches to land release based on Ukrainian demining experience. Article’s main body. The article is devoted to the study of updating the legal support for humanitarian demining in Ukraine with innovative approaches to land release. It has been established that modern legislation began to lay the fundamental foundations for mine action in 2018 with the adoption of the basic Law of Ukraine ‘On Mine Action in Ukraine’, which establishes general norms, while details and instructions for use are established by international and national standards. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of innovative approaches and technologies for land release. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Thus, during a full-scale invasion, Ukrainian legislation is logically…

Legal ensurance of compliance with environmental requirements in land use
type: item
description: Problem setting. The state of Ukraine’s land resources is determined by large-scale degradation, pollution and destruction of soils, largely caused by the Russian military aggression. The military consequences are complemented by traditional problems soil erosion, irrational agricultural use, violations of the regimes of nature reserves and weak state control. The deterioration of the state of lands creates threats to food, environmental and economic security. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the legal regulation of sustainable land use and the restoration of damaged lands. Analysis of recent research and publications. The problems of anthropogenic impact on land, its degradation, and measures for soil restoration are covered in detail in the works of many scientists, including N. Gavrysh, A. Getman, O. Donets, V. Yermolenko, I. Karakash, P. Kulynich, V. Nosik, and others. Scientific works outline ways to increase soil fertility, protect different categories of land, and improve legal regulation. Purpose of research. The purpose of the article is to analyze existing legal mechanisms for ensuring compliance with environmental requirements in the field of land use, identify and study problems of its legal support, assess the effectiveness of current legislation and its practical application in ensuring environmental protection during land use. Article’s main body. The article substantiates that the legal support of environmental requirements for land use is formed by a complex of regulatory legal acts of various legal force, among which the Land Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Land Protection”, the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Protection”, as well as strategic documents of environmental and agrarian policy are of key importance. Analysis of the provisions of the Strategy of State Environmental Policy until 2030, the Concept of the National Program for Land Use and Protection and the Strategy for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Territo…

Evolution of the legal mechanism for providing partial unemployment benefits in Ukraine during 2012-2025
type: item
description: Problem setting. The dynamic change in Ukraine’s legal mechanism for providing partial unemployment benefits between 2012 and 2025 was the result of the state’s response to internal and external factors affecting employment levels. However, this evolution was accompanied by the adoption of several regulations, not all of which were equally effective. The application of some of these regulations restricted individuals’ constitutional right to social protection in the event of job loss. Therefore, studying the evolution of the legal mechanism for providing partial unemployment benefits will reveal existing shortcomings in the current regulations and outline areas for improvement in the context of martial law and postwar recovery. Analyses of recent research. In legal science, the issue of partial unemployment benefits is primarily examined in the context of employment relations and social protection against unemployment by scholars such as V. Venediktov, P. Pylypenko, N. Khutoryan, R. Shabanov, O. Yaroshenko, and others. However, comprehensive scientific studies devoted to the mechanism of providing partial unemployment benefits are rare, making further scientific analysis relevant. The article aims to provide a thorough analysis of innovations introduced between 2012 and 2025 into the legal mechanism for providing partial unemployment benefits and law enforcement practices to compare them with the positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and propose directions for its possible further reform in the context of martial law and post-war reconstruction. Article’s main body. This article provides an analysis of the evolution of Ukraine’s legal mechanism for partial unemployment benefits from 2012 to 2025. It examines changes in legislation, judicial practices, constitutional guarantees of the right to social protection, and the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. Particular attention is given to the transformation of the legal regulation of the…

Abuse of procedural rights by an attorney as grounds for imposing a fine on a law firm in civil proceedings
type: item
description: Problem Statement An analysis of recent scholarship on the category of abuse of procedural rights demonstrates both the widespread nature and the conceptual elusiveness of this phenomenon. D. Luspenyk observes that abuse of procedural rights (delaying the proceedings, undertaking “procedural sabotage”) is a highly subjective and evaluative concept. When determining whether a party has abused procedural rights, the court proceeds from its internal conviction— that is, from a discretionary assessment based on the evidence. A counterbalance to the abuse of procedural rights is the principle of the good-faith exercise of such rights, which is recognized as a normative standard of judicial procedure . It is appropriate to agree with Ya. Panaid that existing doctrinal approaches to defining abuse of procedural rights may be grouped into two categories: a) approaches treating abuse of procedural rights as a legal offense; and b) approaches whose proponents interpret abuse of procedural rights as a mode of exercising a procedural right, which becomes abusive upon the failure to satisfy certain socio-legal conditions.When defining abuse of procedural rights, its contextual linkage with the duty of good-faith exercise of procedural rights by participants and their representatives must be taken into account. In our view, this reflects the division found in scholarly literature and judicial case-law: abuse of procedural rights may denote either the inconsistency between the result of exercising a procedural right and the objectives of civil litigation, or the unlawfulness of the participant’s conduct. Analysis of Recent Research and Publications. The issue of abuse of procedural rights has been addressed in numerous publications, including those authored by N. Banchynska, D. Luspenyk, Ya. Bernazyuk, V. Komarov, T. Tsuina, N. Sakara, Ya. Panaid, and A. Tkachuk. Much fewer studies have focused on abuse of procedural rights by attorneys specifically, including works by V. Zaborovs…

Manifestation of the principle of equal rights and opportunities during employment
type: item
description: Problem setting. Equality of rights and opportunities is a fundamental principle of labor law, which guarantees nondiscriminatory access to labor and is the basis of a stable labor market. In Ukraine, its importance is growing in the context of harmonization of legislation with EU norms and the challenges of wartime. Despite the legislative consolidation, the effectiveness of the principle is limited by existing hidden forms of discrimination, insufficient control and difficulties of judicial protection. In view of these challenges, especially in conditions of martial law, scientific analysis and development of effective mechanisms for ensuring equality in the labor sphere are necessary both from a theoretical and practical point of view. Analyses of recent researches and publications. The issue of equality of rights and opportunities in the labor sphere has been widely reflected in the scientific works of domestic scientists, in particular V. Andriyiv, M. Baru, N. Vapnyarchuk, N. Getmantseva, L. Gruzinova, I. Dmitrieva, V. Zhernakov, T. Zanfirova, Z. Kozak, V. Korotkina, G. Mytrytska, P. Pylypenko, V. Prokopenka, O. Protsevsky, O. Yaroshenko, etc. A significant number of studies are devoted to the analysis of legal mechanisms for preventing discrimination, guarantees for the implementation of labor rights, and practical aspects of applying the principle of equality in labor relations. Article’s main body – research into the content of the principle of equal rights and opportunities during employment, as well as one of the key manifestations of its violation unjustified refusal of employment. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Compliance with the principle of equal rights and opportunities must be implemented at all stages of labour relations: when hiring, transferring to another job, paying for labour and dismissing. Since ensuring equal rights and opportunities in the labour sphere is a mandatory requirement of a democratic state based on the rule of l…

Digitalization of labor procedures as a mechanism for reducing corruption risks
type: item
description: Problem setting. The digital transformation of social processes, which has become one of the defining characteristics of the 21st century, fundamentally changes not only the technological but also the social and legal foundations of state and labor market functioning. Its influence is noticeable in almost all areas of life, but it is particularly significant in the field of employment relations, where digitalization does not merely contribute to the modernization of traditional procedures but forms a new paradigm of labor management based on automation, transparency, and standardization of processes. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issue of the digitalization of labor procedures and its impact on minimizing corruption risks is being actively developed in the works of contemporary domestic and foreign researchers. The understanding has been established in the academic doctrine that the digitalization of HR processes is not merely a technical improvement but a tool for increasing the transparency, unification, and reproducibility of labor decisions. A significant contribution to the development of the theoretical foundations for the use of digital technologies and automated systems for optimizing human resource management processes (hereinafter – digital HRM) has been made by T. Bondarouk and C. Brewster, who substantiated the conceptual shift from traditional human resource management to data-driven systems that minimize the human factor and ensure the algorithmic nature of procedures. The works of S. Strohmeier examine the process of transforming the philosophy of labor management, where openness, analytics, and the standardization of HR decisions play a key role. The research of P. Cappelli, P. Tambe, and V. Yakubovich focuses on the impact of HR data analytics and automated decisions on the formation of personnel policy, emphasizing new opportunities for predicting employee behavior and establishing transparent evaluation criteria. An important…

Legal support for labor relations with professional athletes: features and prospects for development at the international level
type: item
description: Problem setting. The work of professional athletes is a global phenomenon that affects all countries of the civilized world. Their professional sports activities occupy a special place in the socio-economic and cultural life of any developed state, as they are a special sphere that combines the features of labor, entrepreneurship, creativity and public representation of the state. Labor relations with athletes are characterized by specific working conditions and have a fairly extensive system of legal regulation, so difficulties arise in resolving them. This necessitates the need for special legal regulation, which will clearly define the nature of such relations. Analyses of recent researches and publications. Certain aspects of the legal regulation of labor relations with professional athletes have been reflected in the works of such scholars as: P. Bushchenko, N. Vapnyarchuk, N. Getmantsev, V. Zhernakov, M. Inshin, K. Melnyk, S. Prylypko, O. Protsevsky, G. Chanysheva, O. Yaroshenko, etc. At the same time, the features of concluding an employment contract with an employee-athlete within the framework of international cooperation have not been fully studied, especially taking into account today’s realities.

Current state of legal research infrastructure in Ukraine and prospects for its development
type: item
description: Problem setting. Current state of the legal research infrastructure in Ukraine and the creation of innovations in law face several problems, such as: war in Ukraine, destruction of scientific buildings and equipment; lack of a systematic state policy on the development of research infrastructure, a significant reduction in funding for science, scientific infrastructure is not a priority, especially during the war. To save the development of science Ukraine needs a policy aimed at creating a favorable environment for scientists in Ukraine, in which the researcher would have all the tools for conducting research activities and decent financial support. The state should approach with a comprehensive approach of consistent, systematic, real support for the development of science. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Analysis of the scientific literature shows growing interest in the topic of Ukrainian scientists. In particular, S. Hlibko, O. V. Rozgon, A. M. Lyubchych, I. V. Podrez-Ryapolova highlight the importance of legal support for the innovation process in Ukraine, and propose solutions to problematic aspects regarding the formation and legal regulation of priority areas of innovation activity in Ukraine. Target of research. The aim of the article is to study the current state of development of legal research infrastructure and innovations in law in Ukraine. Formulation of prospects for the development of a new research infrastructure in Ukraine. Article’s main body. Legal research infrastructure is a set of tools, resources and related services used by research communities to conduct research and promote innovation in the field of law. A significant decrease in the competitiveness of scientific research negatively affects the development of the national economy, and accordingly, the quality of life of its citizens in Ukraine. Many factors have influenced the unsatisfactory state of modern scientific research infrastructure in Ukraine: the war in Ukrain…

Ranking of research infrastructure entities in Ukraine: certain legal aspects
type: item
description: Problem setting. The issues of rating research infrastructure entities are becoming particularly relevant in the context of the need to ensure proper development and restoration of scientific potential in Ukraine. It should be agreed that the state of scientific potential is one of the most important resources for sustainable and safe development and a factor that determines the prospects of any country, at the same time determining the most adequate tools for assessing scientific activity and implementing them in practice is a difficult task for managers in the field of science. The above emphasizes the importance of building an effective system for rating research infrastructure entities and the need for legal regulation of this process. At the same time, the absence of a legally defined system for rating research infrastructure entities makes it impossible to effectively implement state policy on the development of research infrastructures and requires the development of clear legal criteria, procedures and institutional mechanisms. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Certain theoretical and applied issues of rating in the field of scientific and educational activities have been examined by representatives of various branches of law, economics, and other social sciences. For instance, M. V. Makarov analyzed terminology in the context of Ukrainian regulatory acts, such as the Law of Ukraine “On Scientific and Scientific-Technical Activities,” the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education,” and the Code of Ethics of the Scientist of Ukraine. He considered issues related to the professional qualifications and academic careers of scholars and researchers in Ukraine and concluded that it is necessary to develop a unified conceptual framework of terminology that would correspond to contemporary trends in the development of science and take into account international experience. According to the author, the implementation of such changes will enhance transparency …

Legal status of ukrainian researcher-refugees in the European Union during the war and under temporary protection
type: item
description: The article examines the legal position of Ukrainian researchers who, following the full-scale war launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, found themselves in European Union Member States under temporary protection or with refugee status. The aim is to clarify the scope of their labour and academic rights, compare the legal regimes of temporary protection and refugee status in terms of access to employment and education, and outline national regulatory specificities in Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. The methodology combines formal-legal, comparative-law, systemic and structural-functional approaches. The study argues that the combination of humanitarian status and the need to ensure continuity of research activity gives rise to a doctrinal category—the “researcher-refugee.” It shows that temporary protection ensures rapid access to residence, work, education and basic social guarantees but is time-limited and does not by itself secure long-term integration; refugee status, by contrast, offers broader and more durable guarantees. Case studies of Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic reveal a hybrid model that couples humanitarian guarantees with dedicated academic instruments (facilitated university employment, scholarship and grant schemes, accelerated recognition of qualifications). Nonetheless, barriers persist regarding credential recognition, unequal access to competitive funding, and divergent institutional practices. The article’s novelty lies in conceptualising the category of the “Ukrainian researcher-refugee” and proposing a European framework for supporting displaced researchers. Its practical value is reflected in recommendations for harmonising EU Member State policies and for designing a national strategy in Ukraine aimed at support, cooperation, and future reintegration of researchers. Problem Setting. The full-scale war launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022 has caused an unprecedented wave of force…

Ethics and law: how legislation affects compliance with ethical standards in science
type: item
description: Problem setting. The intersection of ethics and law in scientific research has become a critical area of study as the complexities of modern science continue to evolve. With advancements in technology, increasing public scrutiny, and a growing emphasis on ethical practices, researchers face significant challenges in adhering to ethical standards while navigating legal frameworks. The problem lies in understanding how legislation influences ethical compliance within scientific communities and the implications of this relationship for research integrity, public trust, and societal impact. This publication aims to explore these dynamics and assess the effectiveness of current legal measures in promoting ethical behavior among researchers. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Recent studies have highlighted the intricate relationship between legal regulations and ethical standards in scientific research. For instance, the article “The Role of Ethics in Scientific Research: A Global Perspective” (2022) emphasizes the necessity for international ethical codes to guide researchers, suggesting that a lack of uniform standards can lead to unethical practices, such as data fabrication and plagiarism. Moreover, “The Role of Legislation in Promoting Ethical Research Practices” (2023) provides empirical evidence showing that countries with stringent ethical legislation report fewer instances of misconduct. This research underscores the importance of legal frameworks in establishing accountability mechanisms that encourage adherence to ethical norms. Conversely, gaps in legal oversight are also documented. The publication “Legal Gaps in Ethical Oversight of Scientific Research” (2021) identifies significant shortcomings in many national laws that fail to adequately address ethical violations, allowing for a culture of impunity among researchers. Furthermore, “Public Trust in Science: The Role of Ethics and Law” (2023) illustrates that the public’s confidence in scienti…
