War and war crimes in the criminal legislation of Ukraine, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan

It is indicated that in the conditions of the long-term war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the problem of terminological distinction between the concepts of «military» and «war» crime becomes extremely relevant. The protection of the sovereignty, inviolability and territorial integrity of our state from any aggressive encroachments, as well as ensuring its military security is the duty of all Ukrainians. This certainly becomes especially relevant in the context of the undisguised genocide of Muscovy. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the distinction between «military» and «war» crimes in Ukraine, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It indicates, in the conditions of the unfolding armed conflict with the Russian Federation. A “war” crime is defined as a concept from the field of international humanitarian law that has a global and all-encompassing scope. The article examines the peculiarities of the organization of criminal-legal support for military security in Ukraine, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The peculiarities of the distinction between «military» and «war» crimes in these states are determined. An analysis of the Criminal Codes of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan showed that the place of military criminal offenses and «war» offenses in these countries and Ukraine is somewhat different. We propose to consider the feasibility of not only the substantive, but also the formal implementation of the «war» crimes of our northern «neighbor» into the current Criminal Code of Ukraine. In particular, in our opinion, in view of Russian aggression, it would be appropriate to add to the Special Part of the current Criminal Code Section XXI - «War Crimes».
