Summary / Abstract:

ENThis book is primarily designed to address the legal challenges arising in international law and selected fields of national law, both as a result of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and, more generally, other extraordinary situations. The focus of the research is the national and international legal frameworks in selected fields, specifically the transformation of legal norms and changes in their application during emergency situations. The authors examine the values underlying these laws in the context of war, challenge existing legal approaches in international law during emergencies, and evaluate the relevance and transformation of legal regulations in Ukraine as they respond to the changing circumstances in the state and society due to the war.
