Abstract

Lutsenko B. Criminological analysis
of the grounds for conducting
the Joint Forces Operation
The article is focused on studying
the events that preceded the decision to
adopt the Anti-Terrorist Operation, and
later the Joint Forces Operation. The
events that took place in the Southern
and Eastern regions of Ukraine
require criminological analysis,
because it is the correct way to make
effective management decisions.Numerous offenses of both
national and international law
were the reasons for the decision
to launch the Anti-Terrorist
Operation on the East of Ukraine.
Data on unprecedented violations
of human rights and freedoms and
encroachment on the territorial
integrity of Ukraine has been
confirmed not only by the official
authorities of Ukraine, but also by a
number of public and international
organizations (United Nations,
International Criminal Court,
Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe).
According to the criminological
point of view the reformatting of
the Anti-Terrorist Operation into the
Joint Forces Operation was aimed
at expanding the parties in order
to ensure national security and
defense, to repel and deter the armed
aggression of the Russian Federation
in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as
well as to provide these subjects with
special powers. The change in format
was a necessary reaction to the events
and consequences that occurred in
the period from 2014 to 2018, which
had already gone far beyond terrorist
activities.However, it should be noted that
it is quite difficult for our country
to act preventively in this situation,
when there is lack of theoretical and
practical experience in counteracting
armed conflicts. Criminological
provision and support of the Joint
Forces Operation will provide an
opportunity to systematically and
in a timely manner, taking into
account the obtained experience and
international practice, to achieve
the set goals of state sovereignty,
restoration of territorial integrity,
protection of human rights and
freedoms, as well as legitimate
interests of legal entities.
