The aim of the article is to analyze the state of human rights in Ukraine during martial law. The following analysis is necessary to understand how the imposition of martial law affects basic civil rights and freedoms and what protective mechanisms are in place during this time. The main research problem is to assess the extent to which martial law in Ukraine violates human rights and what are the main threats and challenges to the legal system and institutions responsible for their protection. On the other hand, the hypothesis assumes that the introduction of martial law in Ukraine leads to significant violations of human rights, restricting freedom of speech, assembly and the right to a fair trial. However, there are also some mechanisms that can mitigate these violations and ensure a minimum level of protection for citizens’ rights. The article is based on the methods of qualitative analysis, mainly including a review of legal acts and decrees introducing martial law and their compliance with international human rights standards. The analysis points to significant restrictions on civil rights and human rights violations during martial law in Ukraine.
