Access to justice as a pillar of sustainable development: Digitalization of administrative case management in Ukraine under martial law

This article provides a comprehensive examination of the operational dynamics of Ukraine’s administrative justice system under martial law, identifying critical law enforcement challenges and outlining prospective research trajectories. The methodological framework integrates general scientific, formal-logical, and specialized legal methods to analyze the judiciary as a socio-technological entity at the nexus of legal doctrine, digital innovation, and national security imperatives. An attempt is made to consider the judicial system as a socio-technological structure that functions at the intersection of law, digital technologies and the security needs of the state. The work presents the authors’ vision of the introduction of algorithms into the administrative process, which aims not to replace the human factor, but to optimize judicial activity. The work also substantiates the need to develop criteria for modeling the future development of administrative justice, taking into account the peculiarities of martial law. The practical utility of these findings lies in their potential to refine the Code of Administrative Proceedings of Ukraine, align crisis-management procedures with European benchmarks, and bolster the long-term sustainable development of the state.
