COUNTING TERRORIST ACTIVITIES ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF ARMED CONFLICT
Abstract
Abstract. The purpose of the article is to analyze the mechanisms countering terrorist activities on the territory of Ukraine in the conditions of armed conflict. Methodology. General scientific methods of formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, abstraction, and modeling) were used, with the help of which the mechanism of countering terrorist activities on the territory of Ukraine in the conditions of armed conflict was analyzed. Results. The definition of the concept of terrorist activity is established as a type of criminal illegal activity that is directed against public security or international legal order to achieve political goals by means of violent coercion. Terrorism, in the conditions of the armed conflict in Ukraine, should be equated with terrorist activity in terms of meaning, because in the conditions of countering such a negative phenomenon, the essential features of both concepts are the same, and therefore the volumes of their content may be identified. Also, it is established that certain countries and international institutions have an arsenal of proven mechanisms for combating crimes related to terrorist activities, particularly at the international level, and continue work on determining the most effective areas of this activity, eliminating contradictions and inconsistencies. Practical implications. In order to properly consolidate the evidence regarding preparation for the commission of a terrorist act, a list of actions of authorized persons during the simulation of the crime as a form of control over the commission of the crime is proposed, namely: preparation and execution of all procedural documents; making a decision to use deceptive (imitation) means; direct conduct of covert investigative (detective) actions with proper fixation by technical means; procedural registration of the results, and the identification and detention of suspects in the commission of a crime.
Keywords: terrorism; terrorist activity; terrorist act; crime; countermeasures; criminal proceedings; pre-trial investigation; covert investigative (search) actions.
