ADMINISTRATIVE-DELICT LAW AS A TOOL FOR ENSURING STATE SECURITY

Abstract

The presented material examines administrative tort law as a key tool for ensuring state security, especially in conditions of martial law. The emphasis is on the relevance of this branch of law in the modern conditions of armed aggression against Ukraine, when the state needs to quickly respond to violations of law and order, ensure mobilization readiness, protect strategic objects and maintain the internal stability of society.The work emphasizes that administrative tort law performs complex functions: regulatory, preventive and punitive, which are aimed at maintaining discipline, ensuring law and order, protecting public safety, protecting the defense capability of the state and stabilizing management processes.The normative and legal grounds for administrative liability in wartime are analyzed, including the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law «On the Legal Regime of Martial Law», the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and special laws in the field of defense and national security. The institutional level of implementation of administrative tort law is revealed, which involves coordinated interaction of central executive bodies, security and defense sector bodies, state emergency service, local administrations and territorial defense bodies. Particular attention is paid to the procedural and legal level, which includes the detection, documentation and investigation of offenses, the application of administrative penalties, control over the implementation of decisions, as well as preventive measures and assessment of the effectiveness of law enforcement practice.It is emphasized that administrative tort law in wartime is distinguished by its efficiency and accessibility, which makes it a critically important mechanism for rapid response to threats to state security. The preventive function is aimed at preventing offenses through explanatory work, monitoring compliance with the rules and preparing a rapid response system. The punitive function ensures the prosecution of persons who violate the rules of martial law or threaten the security of the state, with the possibility of imposing fines, confiscation of objects, temporary restriction of rights or other administrative measures. The regulatory function consists in establishing clear rules of conduct for the population, organizing the activities of government bodies and coordinating actions between central and local structures to ensure the stability of social processes.
