LYTVYNENKO Deputy Secretary National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT HAS CONFIRMED ITS POLICY OF DEMOCRATISATION Ukraine is going through the most difficult period of its modern history as an inde- pendent state. The Russian Federation has annexed the Crimea and provides direct support for terrorist activities in Luhansk and Donetsk regions while waging politi- cal, economic and information war against our country. Ukraine’s territorial integrity has been breached, and there is a direct threat endangering its national sovereignty and further progress as a democratic, law-abiding, European state. In this situation, Ukrainian society is going through a radical transformation, and the country’s mili- tary, intelligence and law enforcement forces are re-emerging in a new guise. These transformations have been enshrined in amendments to the legislative framework for national security and homeland defence. Although this volume encompasses amendments made to national security and homeland defence legislation from 2012 to 2014, one can easily see that most of the legislative acts contained herein were adopted in 2014 when military aggression was already well underway. A special mention should be made about the legislative acts concerning homeland security and defence sector development. First and foremost, we are talking about the conduct of a major anti-terrorist operation in Ukraine’s Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts, limited mobilisation, the establishment of the National Guard of Ukraine etc. As a mat- ter of fact, it was a comprehensive modernization of the Law of Ukraine on Counter- Terrorism that has enabled implementation of nationwide mission to deter aggression and defend the Ukrainian State. At the same time, it should be emphasized that, even at the time of special peri- od, a great many legislative acts were adopted to adjust the country’s national se- curity sector, most particularly its law enforcement sector, to European standards. To this end, amendments and updates have been made to a number of Ukrainian laws: the Law of Ukraine on the Militia (with respect to the use of physical force, special operations gear and firearms in the antiterrorist operation area), the Law of Ukraine on Institutional and Legal Framework for Combating of Organized Crime, the Law of Ukraine on the Procuracy (with respect to the establishment of military procuracies), and the Law of Ukraine on the Foundations for Prevention and Combating of Corruption”. 7 8 Introduction Also importantly,
