CURRENT DIRECT VICTORY OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN THE MINDS OF THE MILITARY STAN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the current state and prospects of using electronic information systemsin the investigation of war crimes and military offenses during martial law. The relevance of the topic is driven by practical needs, as the number of war crimes and military offenses has significantly increased, as evidencedby the data from the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations. Additionally, there is an urgent necessity foreffective investigations and bringing perpetrators to justice. Furthermore, these types of criminal offensesattract high public interest.Objective. The purpose of this article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current state of electronicinformation systems and the prospects for their application in the effective investigation of war crimes underthe conditions of martial law.Methods. To obtain reliable results, the study used the following methods: the logical-structural method,which allowed for a logical and sequential presentation of scientific material; induction and deduction;formal-logical methods; as well as analysis and synthesis, which made it possible to generalize the findingsof previous studies. The comparative legal method was applied to develop and clarify specific concepts, whilethe method of logical generalization was used to formulate conclusions.Results. The author explores the definition of the category of “war crimes”, analyzes the current stateof electronic information systems used by investigative bodies for war crimes investigations, and highlightspromising areas for the potential use of digital tools in such investigations.The article concludes that electronic information systems are actively utilized in the investigation of warcrimes, particularly for collecting and storing evidence, searching for and systematizing information, and draftingprocedural documents. Additionally, the author suggests expanding the scope of electronic information systems,particularly through the application of cloud storage technologies, facial or voice recognition systems, remotecommunication between pre-trial investigation bodies, courts, and international institutions, as well asthe systematization and indexing of evidence and the collection of information from open sources.
