Securing obligations through the institute of contractual penalties

This paper examines the intricacies of legal processes related to the execution of promissory note rights, encompassing acts such as acceptance, transfer, guarantee, protest, payment, redemption, enforcement, and limitations concerning promissory notes. A comprehensive understanding of these procedures supports the effective application of this structured, abstract legal tool, which holds significant value in contemporary legal practice. Promissory notes, as unique financial instruments, are governed by specific legal frameworks which contribute to their precision and robustness, ensuring that they continue to serve as a reliable means for securing financial obligations. This study delves into the theoretical underpinnings and the practical implications of promissory note regulations, tracing their historical evolution and examining current applications in various legal systems. Furthermore, the analysis addresses the interaction between promissory note law and related securities laws, providing insights into how these frameworks support enforceable financial commitments. By detailing the rights and responsibilities inherent to promissory note transactions, the paper highlights the enduring relevance of this legal tool in the assurance of contractual obligations. Through this exploration, the paper aims to underscore the importance of a nuanced understanding of promissory notes relating to economic stability and legal certainty within domestic and international financial operations.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Legal Practices

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the legal profession is reshaping how legal tasks are performed, enhancing efficiency and streamlining operations. AI applications, such as legal research tools, contract preparation software, and predictive analytics, assist lawyers by automating monotonous tasks, allowing them to focus on more complex aspects of their cases. Key benefits include time savings, improved accuracy in drafting, and reduced bias in decision-making. However, the reliance on AI also raises significant concerns, including the potential erosion of essential legal skills, challenges to privacy and data security, and the diminishing role of human judgment in navigating nuanced legal issues. While AI serves as a valuable tool, it cannot replace the critical thinking, empathy, and intuition that human advocates bring to the profession. Balancing AI's efficiency with the necessity of human insight will be crucial for the future of legal practice.

Stages of teaching law students to draft international legal documents in English based on artificial intelligence tools

Importance. At the present time, the technologies of artificial intelligence are gradually finding their way into a wide variety of different fields of professional activity, including education. Over the past years, there has appeared a great corpus of research in pedagogical and methodical literature dedicated to the didactic and methodological potential of artificial intelligence. This study represents how the use of artificial intelligence technologies can diversify the learning and professional practice of learners, as well as take over some of the routine functions of a teacher. Genie AI, LegalAI, AI Legal Document Generator – these are all new artificial intelligence tools that allow international law students to draft international legal documents according to the characteristics of the legal systems of foreign authorities. At the same time, their linguodidactic potential is insufficiently revealed, which requires the development of a step-by-step methodology for teaching students to draft international legal documents in a foreign language based on these artificial intelligence tools. The aim of the research is to develop a step-by-step methodology for teaching law students to draft international legal documents based on artificial intelligence tools.Materials and Methods. The study is conducted on the basis of an expert approach. The materials are scientific articles considered with pedagogy and teaching foreign language methodology published in Higher Attestation Commission scientific journals and journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Scientific literature analysis, methods of observation, and survey of university professors who deliver profile disciplines to students of the ‘Jurisprudence’ major, are used.Results and Discussion. A step-by-step methodology of teaching law students to draft international legal documents based on Genie AI, LegalAI, AI Legal Document Generator artificial intelligence tools is developed. The methodology consists of the following series of steps: 1) students study the structure of an international legal document taking into account the specificities of the legal systems of the participating countries in a regular class as part of an integrated course;2) students study or repeat an active vocabulary and grammar that are used in the process of drafting an international legal document; 3) explanation of the goals of drafting international legal documents on the basis of Genie AI learning practice, defining it’s stages and period to the students;4) discussion about information security and author ethics and the inadmissibility of unauthorised borrowing of generative AI material; 5) extracurricular independent educational practice on drafting international legal documents by students with the artificial intelligence tool; 6) mutual evaluation and discussion in small groups of students regarding international legal documents drafted with artificial intelligence tools; 7) selective evaluation by the instructor of legal documents drafted by students on the basis of practice with the artificial intelligence tool; 8) students’ reflection on the usefulness of using the artificial intelligence tool for drafting international legal documents.Conclusion. The novelty of the research lies in the development of a step-by-step methodology for teaching law students to draft international legal documents based on Genie AI, LegalAI, AI Legal Document Generator artificial intelligence tools. Prospects for further works are studying the linguodidactic potential of other artificial intelligence tools created for lawyers, and developing methods of teaching language aspects, types of speech activity, and specialised disciplines on their basis.

Evaluating Disability Rights Legislation: The Impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act on Social Equality in the United States

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted in 1990, set a milestone in protecting the civil rights of disabled Americans. This paper evaluates the impact of the ADA through its historical contexts, components, challenges in enforcement, and contributions of the ADA to the lives of the American people, including employment, equal access to education, public space and transportation. The ADA has successfully reduced barriers and fostered greater inclusion in society. However, its enforcement also faced many significant challenges, especially in rural areas and for small businesses due to limited economic conditions and lack of resources. Furthermore, the ADA places a significant focus on accommodating the need for physical abilities, which makes public society question whether the ADA can satisfy the needs of people with mental health and cognitive disabilities. Finally, the paper recommends regularly updating the ADA to integrate assistive technical supports. Continuous advocacy is required to enhance the position of the ADA as a legal tool for promoting equality and ensuring that all Americans can participate fully in their lives.

Legal Security of Parties in the Aspect of Dispute Settlement in the World Trade Organization

One of the basic elements of world order is properly functioning legal systems of individual states. The Sars-Covid pandemic and armed conflicts around the world, including those involving Europe, have strained the certainty of legal transactions in the countries of the UN system and the need to seek new supranational solutions, especially in the field of international trade. The pillar of security is therefore becoming instruments of international law, with the World Trade Organization in mind. A special tool of this organization are the dispute settlement mechanisms to which member states must adhere. In the conducted research, the thesis was put forward that one of the guarantors of the security of legal transactions is the resolution of disputes using the basic legal tools of this organization. It was proved that disputes between states themselves become solvable if they are transferred to the WTO.

Problematic aspects of medical artificial intelligence. Part 2

The capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are growing at an unprecedented pace. These technologies have many useful applications, from machine translation to medical image analysis. A large number of such applications are currently being developed, and an increasing number of such applications is expected in the long term. Unfortunately, weaknesses and other unpleasant aspects of AI have received insufficient attention. In this review, we consider a whole range of already known problems and possible risks associated with the use of innovative neural network technologies, paying special attention to the ways of preventing real dangers and potential threats in order to expand the range of stakeholders and profile experts involved in the discussion of current issues of medical AI cybersecurity, formation of responsible approach to the vulnerabilities of neural network platforms, increasing the reliability of equipment protection for its safe use, as well as the importance of legal and ethical aspects of regulating the use of AI. Despite certain challenges described in our review, it is clear that AI will be an important element of the healthcare future. As the population continues to age and the demand for healthcare services grows, neural networks are expected to drive healthcare very soon, especially in the areas of medical image analysis, virtual assistants, drug development, treatment recommendations and patients' data processing. We would like to emphasize that while we recognize the innovative role that digital technologies and AI can and should play in strengthening the domestic healthcare system, we should not overlook the importance of timely and accurate assessment of their beneficial or negative impact on the industry to ensure such management decisions do not unnecessarily divert our attention and resources from non-digital approaches and research. This article is a continuation of the article by Berdutin VA, Romanova TE, Romanov SV, Abaeva OP. Problematic aspects of medical artificial intelligence. Part 1. Sociology of Medicine. 2023;22(2):202–211. DOI: https://doi.org/10.17816/socm619132

On the Way to BRICS+ Digital Sovereignty: Opportunities and Challenges of a New Era

A new era for BRICS has begun with the desire of new countries to join BRICS. This expansion, the BRICS+, poses several challenges and opportunities for the renewed alliance, particularly concerning the digital sovereignty of the countries. On the one hand, the leading five BRICS nations have the potential to achieve digital sovereignty, earning the moniker “the hawks of digital sovereignty.” On the other hand, expanding BRICS membership to countries with varying levels of digitalization raises issues for the alliance. These include improving national legislation on digital sovereignty and defining actions to foster cooperation within BRICS+. This article aims to design a theoretical legal model for BRICS+ digital sovereignty, outlining its pillars and offering recommendations for achieving digital sovereignty within BRICS+. The comparative legal method, used to analyze regulations in digitalization and digital sovereignty among BRICS+ member countries, ensures a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape. Retrospective analysis, which studied the development of BRICS+ regulations in these areas, provides a historical context. The systematic method, which examined legal tools and instruments that contribute to achieving digital sovereignty, ensures a thorough exploration. The content analysis allowed for the interpretation of news articles and social media sources related to BRICS+ digital sovereignty, adds a contemporary perspective. The authors conclude that achieving digital sovereignty for BRICS+ is possible and offer several recommendations for collaboration, including developing a BRICS+ digital sovereignty memorandum, launching a BRICS+ regulatory sandbox, and deploying a BRICS+ sovereign cloud. These recommendations can inform BRICS+ policy-making, contribute to the limited literature in this field, and serve as a basis for future research on BRICS+ digital sovereignty.

"Tax optimization" and its difference from "tax planning"

The article clarifies the content and relationship between the concepts of «tax optimization» and «tax planning». The criteria for distinguishing these concepts are determined. It is established that tax planning is a multi­stage process which includes both strategic forecasting and careful organization of tax liabilities at each level of business. The main goal of this process is to be able to shape the structure and form of the business in such a way that they are optimal from the taxation point of view. Tax planning primarily determines the choice of a business entity’s strategy. Tax planning is defined as an important element of a company’s strategic management aimed at long-term and comprehensive management of tax liabilities. Tax optimization is an important process aimed at adapting the taxpayer to the peculiarities of the current tax system in order to choose the most profitable and efficient taxation regime. This process is not limited to the passive application of tax rules, but involves the active management of tax liabilities within the limits of legally permissible techniques, means and methods. Tax optimization is not only the ability to choose the most favorable conditions from those offered by the legislator, but also the ability to predict and adapt to changes that may affect the tax burden in the future. Tax optimization as a legal tool for reducing the total tax burden is considered exclusively within the framework of legal actions of the taxpayer. A distinctive feature of tax optimization as compared to tax planning is its focus on achieving short- and medium-term goals of a business entity by directly using the opportunities provided by tax legislation. Tax planning, on the other hand, is an element of strategic management aimed at achieving the long-term strategic goals of a business entity. Tax optimization is aimed at developing the most favorable model for fulfilling tax obligations by a business entity without changing the economic substance of business transactions. This approach allows the taxpayer to flexibly adapt to changes in the tax environment, while maintaining the sustainability of financial results and reducing tax costs. Tax optimization is not just a tool for reducing the tax burden, but also an important element of tax planning.

The military ombudsman as an institutional guarantee for the protection of military personnel rights (based on foreign experience)

The article draws attention to the fact that today, in the conditions of Russian aggression, the state of compliance with the rights of domestic servicemen has significantly deteriorated, which requires the improvement of the constitutional and legal tools for their protection. The foreign experience of developed democratic countries in solving the problem of effectively ensuring the rights of the military through the introduction of specialized ombudsmen in the affairs of the armed forces is analyzed. The legal nature of military ombudsmen as specialized human rights institutions that have proven themselves positively in a number of states, the history of their introduction, and the positive consequences of their functioning are studied. Considerable attention in the work is devoted to the models of specialized ombudsmen in the affairs of the armed forces: a) regarding their legislative recognition and regulation of legal status (at the level of the country’s constitution, law or by-law); b) places in the structure of state power (parliamentary and executive); c) models that are structurally part of the armed forces; are not part of the armed forces, but are authorized to deal exclusively with military issues and ombudsmen of general competence, in which the function of protecting the rights of military personnel is provided for by law; d) individual ombudsmen and collegial ombudsman services; e) various models of ombudsmen in the affairs of the armed forces, depending on the scope and specificity of their powers. It was concluded that for Ukraine in the conditions of war, the introduction of the institute of the military ombudsman is not just timely, it is extremely necessary. The emergence of this institution, on the one hand, will complement the existing means of protecting the constitutional rights and freedoms of the military, on the other hand, it will contribute to the maintenance of their faith in justice, which will generally neutralize the wary attitude of military personnel towards the authorities, and mitigate conflicts between the state, its bodies, and the military. The military ombudsman, exercising his supervisory and human rights powers, will not only contribute to the effective protection of the rights of the military, but also mitigate the contradictions between the state and civil spheres, promote the democratization of the national military sphere, which under his influence should become more responsive to needs and requests of military personnel, which will ultimately guarantee the “democratization” of the military bureaucracy, which, thanks to his activities, will show more attention, sympathy and concern for military personnel.

The Problems of Ideology in the Context of State-Legal Reality

Introduction. The article analyzes the phenomena associated with the emergence of ideologies, their manifestations in the conditions of state and legal reality, as well as the views of researchers regarding the concept of ideology, which for many decades was considered as false consciousness. Changes occurred only by the end of the XX century with the emergence of new scientific concepts with the participation of foreign and domestic scientists. social group, then there should also be a political direction in the activities of the state. It could have the character of a humanitarian policy. The study presents its author's definition. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the interaction between ideology and law, which is considered as a value phenomenon. After the adoption of the decree on the approval of the foundations of state policy for the preservation of traditional values, such a conceptual document is considered by the authors in the context of its ideological content, without which strategic planning for the development of the country is impossible. The issues of interaction between ideology and law are analyzed in the format of the state as a complex social system. The article contains an analysis of the influence of information technologies used in legal relations, which generates the need for legal regulation, which means that they are included in the object of legal cognition, reflection and comprehension by legal consciousness. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to pay more attention to the factors that have a positive impact on legal consciousness. It is argued that the state-legal reality allows us to see the state in its legal design and legal consolidation, and the law in its state provision and guarantee, without interfering with the detailed analysis of both the state and the law. In conclusion, the author formulates proposals concerning the objective demand for ideological forms by the state and its power structures, even if the dominant ideology is not enshrined in the country, since all social institutions have ideological foundations in the protection of values and traditions in society.Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific research consists of general scientific and special scientific methods of cognition. In the work, the methods of systemic, comparative legal analysis, ascent from the abstract to the concrete, philosophical and legal research tools of ideological processes, the involvement of the results of domestic and foreign research on the interaction of ideology and law, statehood, state structure as a complex social system were used.Results of the study. Based on the results of the analysis, it was revealed that the state and its power structures in the conditions of a specific state-legal reality objectively require ideological forms, even if the dominant ideology is not fixed in the country. Consequently, all social institutions have ideological foundations in the protection of values and traditions in society. Discussion and conclusion. The ideological component is manifested in law, among other things, in politically engaged, opportunistic norms and normative legal acts. The intellectual content of the country's strategic development is closely related to the concept of "Russian identity". Identity answers the questions: What are we? Where are our roots? What are our traditions? How do we pass on these traditions from generation to generation? The description of identity remains a scientific and historical description of society. In turn, identity is closely related to ideology. But if identity answers one question: What are we? Ideological forms contain answers to the questions: Where are we heading? What is our goal?

Институт уполномоченных по правам человека в России: концептуальные основы и эволюция

The article examines the development of the institution of human rights commissioners in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that Russian practice demonstrates the evolutionary development of the institution of human rights commissioners. This institution is a reflection of the federal structure of the state. The Human Rights Commissioner in the Russian Federation and the Human Rights Commissioners in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are competently independent constitutional figures. Their interaction is carried out on the basis of coordination through various forms, which largely developed on the basis of practical activities and were subsequently enshrined in federal legislation. There is a clear tendency to expand the powers of Russian human rights defenders in all areas of their activities, and the «legal tools» of the commissioners are being strengthened. All this allows us to conclude that the institution of human rights commissioners has high authority and is in demand both at the state level and in the environment of civil relations.

How To Communicate Your Estate Plan to Family When Dividing Assets Unequally

Estate planning and transition planning are terms that are often used interchangeably. However, it is important for businesses, including farms, to designate the differences between the two. Estate planning uses legal tools to ensure the next generation inherits assets when the owners retire or pass away. However, many farmers and business owners seek to involve their heirs in the day-to-day operations long before ownership is transferred. This is where transition planning comes into play, offering a more comprehensive approach. Transition planning encompasses four critical components, blending estate planning with business planning to not only prepare for the transfer of ownership but also facilitate the smooth handover of management responsibilities.

Criminal Legal Steps to Stop the Irregular Migration in Hungary

Abstract From 2015, migratory pressures put a heavy burden on EU countries. In 2015, Hungary took a new approach by building a border fence and creating criminal legal rules to protect it. This study aims to assess these measures in the EU sphere. Our research was based on EU (frontex) and national (Prosecutor General’s Office information) data and assessed the Hungarian solution in the light of the migration policy of other Member States located along the main migratory routes. The data show: (1) the criminal law has no substantive effect, and (2) the law enforcement tools are effective. Moreover, the domestic data also show that Hungary is not consistent in its policy and has preferred law enforcement tools to criminal legal tools in the past few years, which violates the basic principles of criminal law: the principle of legality and the principle of ultima ratio.

CLASSIFYING CYBERCRIME NETWORKS: ORGANIZED AND TRANSNATIONAL SCHEMES IN THE DIGITAL ERA

The purpose of this study is to analyze and classify the main schemes of organized and transnational cybercriminal activity, as well as to identify the methods and technologies used by cybercriminals to carry out criminal activities in the digital space. The article explores current trends in cybercrime, such as the rise in financial fraud, ransomware attacks, phishing, and DDoS attacks. The study shows that the use of the latest technologies, particularly cryptocurrencies and the Internet of Things (IoT), significantly complicates the detection and prosecution of cyber criminals, necessitating the constant improvement of legal and technical tools to combat cybercrime. Key findings indicate that the transnational nature of cybercrime often makes it difficult to prosecute criminals across jurisdictions, requiring greater international coordination. It was also found that cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to conceal their activities, incorporating modern technological solutions into criminal schemes. This underscores the need for continuous monitoring of new threats and the updating of protection methods for both organizations and individual users. The main conclusions of the study emphasize the importance of global cooperation in the fight against cybercrime, the need to enhance technological protection, and the development of legal mechanisms to counter modern cyber threats.

Environmental Intervention: An Activist Idea or Legal Tool? An Analysis of the Possibilities of Environmental Protection under the Principle of Non-Intervention

Environmental Intervention: An Activist Idea or Legal Tool? An Analysis of the Possibilities of Environmental Protection under the Principle of Non-Intervention

Дерогація, аброгація, нуліфікація: поняття, особливості та приклади застосування

The article analyzes the legal concepts of derogation, abrogation and nullification, which are tools for regulating relations in society and international relations. It is determined that the derogation means the partial cancellation of the law or its individual provisions, for the purpose of temporary deviation from obligations during emergency situations. Examples of the derogation include the actions of Ukraine during armed aggression by the Russian Federation and the actions of European countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Abrogation (abolition) means the cancellation or change of an outdated law or agreement. The term has its roots in Roman law, where various forms of abrogation existed. Over time, repeal has evolved into a legal tool that allows governments to repeal outdated laws or make changes without having to maintain the application of the previous rule. Contemporary applications of abrogation include criminal procedure law, where proceedings can be dismissed if charges are not proven, and international procedures, such as pardons or amnesties, which allow convicts to be released without overturning the sentence. It has been established that the term "nullification" is used both in the legal and economic spheres, and means the deprivation of documents of legal force or the recognition of securities as invalid. The historical practice of nullification is considered, starting from the formation of the confederation of North American states, attempts to conclude a new union treaty between the republics of the USSR in 1991, and centrifugal tendencies in the European Union. In modern conditions, as the example of Ukraine with Russia shows, the nullification of treaties can serve to protect national interests in response to external challenges. In conclusion, the author concludes that these legal mechanisms are important for ensuring legal stability and adaptability, allowing to respond to emergency situations and social challenges without violating the basic rights and freedoms of citizens.

Administrative Lawfare at the European Union’s External Borders: Some Perspectives on Administrative Regulation of NGO Search and Rescue Activities in Italy and the Situation at the Polish-Belarusian Border

Abstract Violations of the rights of migrants by state actors at the EU’s external borders, including through the use of pushbacks and indiscriminate violence, both on land and sea, have resulted in NGOs, lawyers and citizen activists engaging in forms of humanitarian action and legal mobilization aimed at contesting inhumane state policies. State actors can similarly rely on various legal tools to create a chilling effect and a hostile environment for migrants’ rights activism. Such practices can be considered to constitute a form of lawfare against migrants’ rights activism, an instrumental and hegemonic use of the law in order to weaken support for migrants. The use of criminal law has been a common tool of lawfare at the European Union’s external borders. However, administrative law is increasingly being used to bring activists into compliance with states’ interests, creating compliant environments through the use of regulatory instruments and administrative sanctions. To critically assess the instrumental use of administrative law as a form of lawfare, it makes sense to review their application at the EU’s external borders. A good opportunity for such a review is being provided by looking at the administrative regulation of search and rescue (SAR) operations in the Mediterranean creating a hostile environment for SAR NGOs in the case of Italy, and the instrumental use of administrative regulations to limit access for activists to the Polish-Belarusian border in the case of Poland.

Jordanian Cybercrime Law No. (17) of 2023 between Regulating Social Media Sites and Restricting Freedom of Opinion

The primary objective of this research is to study the Jordanian Cybercrime Law No. (17) of 2023 between regulating social media sites and restricting freedom of opinion. In addition, it clarifies the concept of cybercrimes and how to control social media sites while preserving citizens’ rights to freedom of expression. In terms of balancing digital security and controlling social media sites. Defining concepts and terms, such as “regulating” social media sites and “restricting freedom of opinion,” is crucial to understanding the law's impact on users. Monitoring and implementing the law by the competent authorities to avoid excessive violations of individuals’ rights. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method, as well as the inductive method, and the legal text analysis tool was used. This research has reached several results, the most important of which are that the Jordanian cybercrime law has used broad, vaguely defined, inaccurate, ambiguous, and non-specific terms, such as fake news. Even though these texts do not meet the requirements of international law regarding drafting legal texts precisely enough to allow individuals to regulate their behavior accordingly. In addition, the Jordanian cybercrime law focused on the penal and punitive dimensions and did not include any institutional or preventive measures to reduce negative phenomena in the digital environment. This research has reached several recommendations, the most important of which are that the Jordanian legislator must reconsider amending legal texts that are unfair to internet users in a way that leads to the adoption of balanced legal texts compatible with basic rights. These rights include the right to exchange information, the right to express opinions and ideas, and the right to privacy, which the Jordanian Constitution guarantees in Article (7).

Rule of Law v. Balancing Test: The Admissibility of Illegally Obtained Evidence in Civil Procedure

Abstract The article aims to reveal, explain and critically assess the balancing test as a legal tool to decide on the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence in civil procedure. The main part of the article is divided into four sections. First of all, the article provides a general overview of the concept of illegally obtained evidence. In other words, the research tries to outline how the concept of illegally obtained evidence should be understood. Secondly, the article provides an overview of one of the most common ways of resolving the issue of the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence – the balancing test. Thirdly, the article assesses the balancing test while employing two requirements derived from the rule of law. The research shows that, in the context of the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence, the balancing test does not meet 1) the requirement of legal certainty and 2) the requirement that civil procedure must be based on the rule of law and not on the rule of men. Lastly, the article concludes that in order to avoid identified shortcomings, the balancing tests should be characterised by a predefined exhaustive list of criteria that should be balanced when deciding on the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence and should not contain too broad, vague balancing criteria.

Іnternational and foreign practice of compensation for war crimes

The scientific article is dedicated to the study of international and foreign practices of compensation for war crimes. The article analyzes legal mechanisms and tools used for compensating victims of war crimes in various countries of Europe and the world. The main focus is on the practice of international courts, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), as well as national judicial institutions that handle war crime cases. Specific cases and decisions that have influenced the development of law enforcement practices in this area are examined. One of the key aspects of the work is the analysis of international treaties and conventions that regulate compensation issues, including the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, as well as the Rome Statute of the ICC. Various compensation models are considered, including monetary compensation, rehabilitation, and other forms of reparation. The article also explores the role of non-governmental organizations and international funds in the process of compensating war crime victims. The effectiveness of different approaches and mechanisms used to ensure justice and restore the rights of victims is analyzed. The work pays attention to the problems and challenges faced by law enforcement agencies when handling war crime cases, as well as the prospects for improving the international legal mechanism for protecting the rights of victims. The research is based on the analysis of specific cases, court decisions, and legal acts, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the current state and possible ways of developing the compensation system for war crimes. Thus, the article contributes to the scientific discussion on improving the mechanisms of legal protection for victims of war crimes and ensuring justice in international law.
