The article analyzes the historiography of the development of deontological knowledge and examines the main scientific works of the English philosopher and jurist Jeremiah Bentham, which are devoted to the problems of deontology. The main basic criteria set by a scientist for the professional component through the prism of moral requirements and various types of culture are considered, and attention is drawn in particular to the deontological foundations in law enforcement activities. We are talking about the need for law enforcement officers to realize the importance of their social mission as Guardians of law and freedom, who are obliged to risk their own lives in countering crime and offenses, and prevent violations of the rights and freedoms of citizens in their professional activities. This requirement of the deontological foundations of law enforcement has both a legal and moral dimension. Exploring and revealing the content of deontological foundations, attention is focused on the two main social regulators of social relations as morality and law. It is also noted that Ukraine, along with other European countries in its arsenal in the regulation of social relations has common values (meaning democratic, legal values), such as good (according to Je. Bentham), which is equated to natural and legal values. Therefore, in their professional activities and the regulation of public relations (especially conflicts), first of all, law enforcement agencies must adhere to such a specified value as good. The main theory of Je. Bentham – utilitarianism is also mentioned. The main idea of which is what needs to be done for the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people. And therefore, to denote the utilitarian system of ethics Je. Bentham introduces such a new concept as "deontology" – the doctrine of the right, proper (not only in life but also in professional activities).

The Right

Currently, the use of firearms and special devices by law enforcement agencies in civilised democracies is strictly determined in accordance with the current legislation on the use of firearms and special devices. Their illegitimate or unauthorised application causes censure and sparks public outcry. Nevertheless, sometimes situations arise in which it is difficult and problematic for a law enforcement officer to make the right decision on the use of firearms, physical force, special devices and military working dogs. At the moment, the officers of the Latvian Border Guard are often simply unable to resist the illegal actions of offenders, since the current legislation is not always capable of justifying the lawful actions of the border guard. Also, sometimes the specific character of duty performance (a large crowd of people, the proximity of the state border) makes it impossible to use firearms. At the same time, the lack of regular training on the practical use of special devices (stack, handcuffs and others) significantly reduces the chances of their successful use by the Latvian Border Guard officers. Bearing and using electroshock weapons, and specifically stun guns of the TASER type, will significantly increase the level of security of the Latvian Border Guard staff, and will also allow the use of stun guns to ensure public order without risk to others and with minimal risk to the offender. The stun guns will allow you to blur the lines between physical abilities and the degree of physical fitness of the border guard and the offender, as a result of which a fragile girl - border guard can easily neutralise a raging athlete who is trying to disrupt public order and border control order with minimal harm.

The Impact

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is inarguably the most disrupting occurrence in human affairs since the World War II. This virus left governments, communities and systems with the legal, social and moral duties to protect from its impacts. However, some of the approaches adopted towards protecting the victims, potential victims, and the entire society, especially in Nigeria, caused more harm than the disease itself. This work reviews the impact of the curtailment measures adopted by governments in Nigeria and their adverse bearing on human rights, especially the right to life as a sacrosanct and universal right. It further examines how law enforcement agencies’ operations - within the confines of the institutional and international best practices - their non-adherence to the rules of engagement or principles of ethical operations have resulted in the violation of human rights, rather than protecting them. It also analyses the impact of the virus on the right to health and access to medical facilities in times of emergencies in Nigeria and concludes that both rights were either violated or not realized within the context of the ‘war’ against the COVID-19 pandemic. This work advocates for the continuous training on human rights responsibilities of law enforcement agents, a more rigorous recruitment process with a minimum qualification from school certificate to ordinary national diploma, the use of video camera in the course of operations, among others that would help safeguard the rights of citizens in times of emergencies like the COVID-19.

The article highlights the results of a study of the situation with official investigations into criminal offenses related to the enforced disappearance of persons in the context of armed aggression in eastern and southern Ukraine. The example of individual criminal proceedings presents some systemic problems that arise during the investigation of the facts of disappearance and suggests possible ways to solve them. There are several «blocks» of problems that lie in the field of criminal law, criminology, and criminal procedure. The points of view of scientists and practitioners on this problem are highlighted. It is concluded that Ukraine, in today’s conditions, needs to take measures aimed at improving the legal mechanisms of observance and protection of the right of persons staying in its territory to freedom from enforced disappearance, as well as intensifying law enforcement agencies to prompt, complete and impartial investigation of such facts, their proper qualification, search for victims, identification of those responsible for their disappearance, ensuring that victims receive timely and adequate compensation. The methodological basis for writing the article was a dialectical-materialist method, as well as the set of general scientific and special methods and techniques of scientific knowledge.

The article highlights that the systematization of legislation is an essential measure on the path to European integration of our country, as well as that the systematization allows improving and streamlining legislation for ease of application and effective implementation in practice. The article reveals that the role of systematization of legislation is to create all the necessary conditions for its further development, to get rid of gaps and shortcomings in it and to ensure its internal unity. The article clarifies that the systematization of legislation creates opportunities to quickly find and correctly interpret all the necessary regulations, which provides a purposeful and effective legal education of society. Systematization of legislation becomes important in reviewing the sources of law, orientation in the system of legislation, for the adoption of new regulations by law enforcement agencies in coordination with all regulations, addressing obsolete acts and finding the most effective means of regulatory regulation of public relations. In the article, the systematization of legislation should be understood as a set of organizational and legal actions defined by the current legislation of Ukraine, which is carried out by authorized public authorities to bring existing regulations into a single internally coordinated system that improves overall efficiency. Systematization is a process of organizing individual elements, creating the right conditions for them to cooperate and interact with each other. Systematization is one of the main factors of purposeful and effective legal education (formation of legal awareness) and research in the field of student education.

The Impact

The article substantiates the need to change the criminal procedural legislation that regulates the powers of the prosecutor and the status of the victim and gives the prosecutor the right to initiate a criminal case. The proposed changes in the procedural powers of the prosecutor are also considered through the prism of organizing the activities of law enforcement agencies and the impact of statistical reporting indicators on their activities. The experience of prosecutorial and investigative practices and the opinion of distinguished domestic legal scholars are analyzed. The changes proposed by the authors could have a significant positive impact on the work of preliminary investigation bodies and reduce the number of violations committed during preliminary investigation stages. In addition, bringing the status of the prosecutor and the preliminary investigation bodies into a logical procedural position could eliminate unnecessary and inherently harmful corporate competition.
