Review

Abstract. Today, a rather difficult situation has developed in Ukraine, which is connected with the armed aggression on the part of the Russian Federation. It certainly affects all spheres of social life, including law enforcement. Conduct of active hostilities on a large territory of our country, massive forced resettlement of citizens, aggravation of the security, socio-political, and economic situation in the country led to an increase in the level of crime, in particular, the commission of criminal offenses by organized criminal groups. Investigators of pre-trial investigation bodies faced a situation in which the form and methods of committing criminal offenses by organized criminal groups in martial law conditions changed, which, accordingly, led to difficulties with their investigation. It was established that the current legislation was not fully adapted to such realities of today, and needs to be revised and clarified. In addition, in the conditions of Ukraine’s current course towards European integration and the introduction of European legal standards into the domestic legal system, the regulatory and legal acts of the European Union are gaining no less importance, in particular, those related to the regulation of issues related to the fight against organized crime and those aimed at to provide assistance during the investigation of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups. In order to find new approaches to improving domestic legislation in the specified area, it is necessary to carry out a thorough analysis of the state of international and domestic legal support in the area under consideration. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of international and national legislation in the field of investigation of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups in wartime conditions, and to determine ways to improve it. It is noted that the current events taking place in our country have led to an increase in the level of organized crime, which in turn has led to the need to revise the current legal acts, which are the basis of the legal regulation of the investigation of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups under martial law. . The author analyzed and classified the main international and national acts in the field under consideration and suggested ways to improve domestic legislation in accordance with international acts and the needs of practice. Key words: investigation, legal basis, organized crime, organized criminal groups, martial law, legislation, convention. REFERENCES LIST OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS LEGISLATION
