ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PRACTICE OF THE UKRAINIAN JUDICIARY ON THE APPLICATION OF ART. 173-2 THE CODE OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES OF UKRAINE DURING THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINE WAR
Abstract. The article explores the dynamic of domestic violence in Ukraine during the war and specific problems in the application by courts of Article 173-2 of «Commitment of domestic violence, gender-based violence, failure to comply with an urgent restraining order or failure to notify the place of temporary residence» of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine. The article notes that during the war, in 2022, there was a 40% increase in appeals to the police of Ukraine regarding domestic violence compared to the previous year.
The author draw attention to the fact that courts, when considering of domestic violence, do not always recognize a child who witnessed (eyewitness) domestic violence as a victim of such violence; sometimes domestic violence is treated as a minor act, domestic violence is equated with a conflict over children, which leads to the closing of proceedings or refusal to issue a restraining order.
In the article, the author came to the conclusion that the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, in which it develops and concretizes the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, should become a reference point for the Ukrainian judiciary in solving cases related to domestic violence.
The Istanbul Convention provides for the introduction of additional changes to national legislation, acts as a reference point for establishing criminal responsibility for violence in any of its manifestations, therefore, scientific research is needed in the field of criminalization of any violence, which will expand the possibilities of protection the rights of victims of violence in international court, will contribute compliance with procedural legal guarantees of person who are prosecuted for such offenses, comprehensive protection of their rights and freedoms, as well as approximation of Ukrainian legislation to international standards in this area.
Key words: domestic violence, European Court of Human Rights, Istanbul Convention.
