Transitional Justice and Human Rights in Ukraine.
It was found that transitional justice in Ukraine is a set of measures and methods by which social justice is restored, the restoration of violated human and civil rights is guaranteed, and the observance of fundamental human rights is ensured. Transitional justice in Ukraine during military operations is aimed at restoring the violated rights of citizens due to military operations and russia's armed aggression against Ukraine. This concerns compensation for material and moral damage, in particular, to those persons recognized as internally displaced persons, as well as those who are in temporarily occupied territories. Such a process is activated after the cessation of hostilities. The basis of transitional justice in Ukraine should be international legal standards and transnational experience. It is noted that the concept of transitional justice, which encompasses a set of processes and mechanisms aimed at overcoming large-scale violations of human rights, is very relevant today for Ukrainian society, because russia ignores all the rules of warfare. Human rights and children's rights are being violated on a massive scale, particularly in areas where active hostilities are taking place and in temporarily occupied territories. The aggressor state russia must be held accountable for war crimes committed in Ukraine. The world community and international legal organizations must contribute to this. The article emphasizes that today in Ukrainian society it is important to ensure the rights of internally displaced persons who are forced to leave their homes due to hostilities. This category of citizens requires comprehensive support from the state and society. In particular, providing housing, social guarantees, providing the opportunity to fully exercise the right to education and guaranteeing the rights of children. Currently, Ukraine does not have a law on transitional justice, but active work is underway to adopt it. The draft law on transitional justice was created to legislatively consolidate state policy during the transformation period, which provides for a set of measures in response to russia's armed aggression against Ukraine. Key words: transitional justice, human rights, justice, military actions, moral norms.
