Abstract
The Constitution of Ukraine unequivocally establishes human life and health as paramount societal values, placing the onus on the state to redress damages resulting from criminal acts. Article 1177 of the Civil Code of Ukraine asserts the right of victims to compensation for harm inflicted upon them due to criminal offenses. Despite this constitutional commitment, a notable gap persists in Ukrainian legislation concerning comprehensive measures for the compensation and restitution of crime victims. This lacuna necessitates the implementation of new legal measures to ensure the equitable treatment of victims within the national legal framework. The exigency of this matter is accentuated by the current hostilities in Ukraine, prompting a critical alignment of domestic legislation with pertinent international agreements. To address this void, an in-depth analysis of international and European legal principles is undertaken to derive foundational concepts for the victimological framework within Ukrainian criminal law. The examination of these external legal frameworks seeks to inform and shape domestic legislation, fostering a more just and inclusive legal landscape for victims of criminal offenses in Ukraine, particularly in the context of the nation's ongoing challenges and the imperative to harmonize with international standards. In light of the pressing need to fortify the rights and protections afforded to crime victims, the proposed legal measures aim to bridge the existing gaps in Ukrainian law. By drawing upon international and European legal principles, the objective is to establish a robust framework that not only compensates victims for harm suffered but also ensures their rights are safeguarded throughout the criminal justice process. The ongoing hostilities in Ukraine serve as a stark reminder of the urgency to fortify legal provisions that protect and compensate victims. Aligning with international standards will not only enhance the domestic legal landscape but also reinforce Ukraine's commitment to human rights and justice in the face of unprecedented challenges. As the nation strives for resilience in the midst of adversity, a comprehensive victimological framework rooted in global legal principles is crucial for building a fair and inclusive society.
