The article is devoted to the philosophical and legal problems of the natural and legal regulation of social relations during the war as the most acute period of social and legal anomie, when a number of norms of society's existence are devalued and no longer in effect, the system of values and social norms is disintegrating. In the crisis-transitional period of the development of society, positive law (written norms of the state) loses its regulatory power due to certain circumstances: a change in the form of the state system, the rule of the regime; hostilities, political crisis, etc. It is under such conditions that people's life activities are regulated by the unwritten norms of natural law.
 It has been found that social, religious, and cultural organizations contribute to the maximum implementation and observance of human rights during wartime, which not only support the moral and spiritual sphere of human existence, but can also, through their representatives, identify persons who need legal assistance in a critical period and to help law enforcement agencies in preventing manifestations of illegal behavior of citizens.
 It is emphasized that active military actions are the reason that the life of society is disturbed within the positive legal field of the state and, as a rule, citizens feel the need for a deeper, closer relationship between man, the state and the law, namely for active involvement in the process of legal regulation norms of natural law, morality, customs.
 As for the manifestation of natural and legal properties of a person, they are enshrined in human rights, where the complementarity of law and morality occurs in connection with the reproduction and protection of universally significant values of civilized human activity and communication.
 It is noted that on the basis of the norms of natural law, human behavior is «retained» within legitimate value orientations, because such tragic periods provoke illegal, deviant, conformist, etc. behavior, which with its antisocial characteristics can provoke a person to criminal behavior.
 Anomic states of social development encourage a person to actively synthesize valuable manifestations of legal, social and moral consciousness, with the aim of legitimate self-realization and prevention of misconduct.
