SERVICEMAN AND VOLUNTEER LEGAL AND SOCIAL PROTECTION

Abstract

Legal and social protection of the population is the basic function of a legal, social state. However, mechanisms such protection can’t be identical for all groups of population without exception. This is determined by the specific relationship of personal, group and public interests in each case. Among the social groups of society, a special place is occupied by servicemen, and to them are added volunteers whose status is not defined. Their specific purpose is to serve the interests of the entire society and the state. This service imposes a number of significant restrictions on their legal status and legal status in society, which is especially important to note given the conduct of hostilities in the territory of our country. At the same time, the legislator does not extend this status to employees of enterprises, institutions, organizations involved and directly involved in providing anti-terrorist operations, as well as persons who voluntarily provided (or voluntarily involved in providing) anti-terrorist operations (including volunteering activity). The problem of legal guarantees of the rights and duties of military personnel and persons, which were part of the volunteer units, was and remains one of the most important, given the conduct of hostilities on the territory of the state. The author considers is necessary to streamline legislation without repeating the relevant norms, in legal acts of different legal force and agree on general theoretical concepts which will avoid a number of problems in practice. There is a particular problem with the recognition of volunteers as volunteers who participated in hostilities. This tendency is negative both socially and legally.
