Abstract

In the article an author researches the problems of modern state of legal regulation of social protection of a child under conditions of the military and armed conflicts in Ukraine. It was concluded that children are the most vulnerable category of population whose rights are constantly violated during the military and armed conflicts. Thus, in connection with the events which happened on our territory and which paid the world’s attention to Ukraine, the majority of children can not realize their social interests, preserve or improve their social status. The author defines that legislation of Ukraine on social protection of children under conditions of the military and armed conflicts needs significant improvements, since their status is outlined in general terms, without real content and clear mechanisms for their implementation. A problem of social protection of a child intensifies under conditions of crisis situations, in particular during the armed conflicts in Ukraine. This is especially about children suffered in the result of the military actions and armed conflicts. So, first of all, it is necessary to define a nowadays state of legal regulation of this sphere of relations in order to define a state of social protection of children under conditions of the armed conflicts in Ukraine.
