Geopolitical Processes And Their Impact On Criminal Law Policy In Ukraine

Abstract

The activities of terrorist organizations is in direct connection with the aggravation of criminal situation, not only in areas under their control. Special resonance and widespread crimes of terrorist orientation aimed at destabilizing the socio-political situation; new impetus to the development of criminal fishing was associated with illicit trafficking in firearms and ammunition, drugs, smuggled movement of goods, illegal occupation of property.
In order to ensure implementation of the state policy in the field of civil protection established criminal liability of citizens of Ukraine (Art. 3361), which are civil defense or signed contracts for the passage of such a service in a special (other than renewal) period and in the case of targeted mobilization for avoiding such service. According to the author, the exclusion of the legislator, when describing the circumstances of the crime, with the term «special period» of such component parts is groundless. From his position, «partly recovery period after the end of hostilities» actually is a peaceful time, while its possible duration is uncertain. Therefore criminalization evasion of service in an environment that is no longer any war or emergency, excessive step.
