| Abstract: |
Amid the ongoing armed conflict triggered by Russian aggression, Ukraine faces the enormous task of upholding due process standards and ensuring justice for conflict-related crimes. This article explores the challenges faced by the Ukrainian judicial system following the aggression. The study investigates the impact of the conflict on the country's capacity to prosecute violations of international humanitarian law. Despite the complexity of the situation, Ukraine's judicial system has demonstrated resilience in upholding guarantees of a fair trial. However, obstacles persist that require in-depth analysis of the legal and operational context. This research adopts a systematic approach, investigating contextual considerations, the state of the Ukrainian judicial system, and analyzing inquiry data to highlight organizational, ethical, political, and social challenges. The research presents valuable insights for the debate on justice and accountability in regions affected by armed conflict, underscoring the need for continued efforts to safeguard the principles of due process in Ukraine. |
