Synopsis

This article explores the "right to peace" as a foundational principle for the post-war legal system of Ukraine, emphasizing its significance in the context of rebuilding a society affected by large-scale military aggression. The authors analyze the evolution of human rights in Ukraine's legal framework, highlighting the challenges posed by martial law and the transition to peacebuilding. The study addresses the interconnectedness of the right to peace with other human rights, such as security, social protection, and economic welfare, underlining its role as a prerequisite for ensuring a stable and just society.

The research also examines the legal and moral dimensions of peace, its recognition in international law, and the practical mechanisms required to uphold it in the face of ongoing crises. By proposing constitutional guarantees for the right to peace, the article advocates for its recognition as a primary human right, essential for safeguarding the well-being and dignity of individuals and communities in a democratic and lawful state.
