Abstract

The purpose of the investigation is to improve criminal legislation in accordance with international standards in the context of the prevention of crimes against humanity in Ukraine. The issue of combating crimes against humanity in the twenty-first century was addressed. The commission of such crimes violates a number of international conventions and treaties, including the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998, the Charter of the United Nations of 26 June 1945, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 10 December 1948, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 4 November 1950, etc. The methodological basis of the research consists of general and special scientific methods of scientific knowledge. The conclusions have established that the invasion of the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the use of weapons of mass destruction, missiles and machine guns against the civilian population is a usurpation not only of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but also of the European values that have been built over centuries in response to the experience of war.
