Legal-Structural Functioning Of Civil Society Institutions In The Field Of Civil Protection In Wartime Conditions – Example Of Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzed the issue of the functioning of civil society institutions in the provision of civilian protection under wartime conditions. The authors focused their considerations primarily on the legal-structural dimension of the activities of security actors responsible for this task dimension, as well as the interaction of civil society institutions and the state in the direction of civilian protection . In such a problem-oriented approach, the organization of evacuation of civilians, documentation of war crimes, provision of legal aid and information, influence on the formation of state policy, social control, volunteer movement and humanitarian aid become particularly important. Interesting conclusions on the considered issue of civil protection both in terms of the existing legislation that regulates the sphere of activity of civil society institutions in the direction of ensuring the civilian security of the population, as well as the mechanisms of interaction between civil society institutions and state bodies come from the war-covered Ukraine.
