Abstract

The aim of the article was to analyze the main scientific and practical provisions with respect to the aspects of ensuring the implementation of the law enforcement function of the state under the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine. The object of the analysis were the social relations arising in the sphere of its implementation under the legal regime of martial law. The diversity of the posed object of research gave rise to the use of a wide range of methods, namely: analysis, logical, generalization, interpretation, system and structural, comparative and legal method. It was concluded that the most essential mechanism for the functioning of complicated legal regimes for the state is the provision of human and citizens’ rights and freedoms (performance of law enforcement functions) regardless of varying circumstances, situations and factors. In practical terms, the rights violated as a result of the martial law regime must be restored by the state, which includes a set of relevant actions and means. The implementation aspects of the State’s law enforcement function are defined as the main vectors that are grouped according to common characteristics.
