Title:
Organising elections during wartime: the case of Ukraine
Summary / Abstract:

ENThis chapter focuses on one reason for the postponement of elections: the declaration of martial law. Martial law should be declared only via the law, and authorised only in the case of a threat to the nation’s life, where measures compatible with the Constitution and laws in force are inadequate to address the situation (The Charter Center 2016). The imposition of martial law is intended to be a temporary measure implemented in exceptional circumstances such as war, invasion, insurrection, rebellion, riot or any violent resistance to law, primarily to address threats to the country’s territorial integrity, independence, or constitutional order. [p. 234].
