Martial Law.

 

What obligations does a country under war have to democracy? The question remains unanswered for Ukraine. In the case of Ukraine’s 2024 presidential election, the impact of martial law on the democratic process is particularly ambiguous. Currently, Ukraine is an aspiring liberal democracy; however, this contentious position depends on Ukraine’s commitment to upholding the democratic values of its peers. In its attempts to join international institutions such as the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Ukraine has strived to demonstrate its increasingly democratic governing mechanisms. However, after the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, the Ukrainian government instituted martial law, which continues to present a dilemma for the Ukrainian people. [1] Despite their understanding that wartime actions require increased legal flexibility, Ukrainian citizens are also entitled to democratic norms and privileges. Accordingly, Ukraine has a legal imperative to hold its 2024 presidential election because the cancellation of its election violates several international covenants and treaties and violates its own martial law due to the unlawful seizure of power.

 

The Ukrainian government has continuously reiterated its rationale for not holding the 2024 presidential election in Ukraine. First, the government has relied on the Ukrainian Constitution to support the election cancellation process. [2] In addition to using the Ukrainian Constitution to defend the cancellation of its elections, the government argues that logistically, it would be nearly impossible to hold a wartime election because many Ukrainian citizens have fled the country to seek asylum in neighboring countries. Furthermore, those who are active duty Ukrainian soldiers would also have immense trouble participating in an election as they fight on the front-lines. [3] Yet these arguments––no matter how rational––do not excuse the government from upholding its international and legal obligations. Democratic alternatives need to be presented to Ukrainian citizens, which is something that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself has acknowledged. Zelenskyy has attempted to collect feedback from Ukrainian citizens, even those who have become refugees, using government-operated digital platforms; notably, his government has “. . . worked to digitize Ukrainian democracy by creating (or updating) state-run apps that are accessible to all citizens.” [4] If, during a global pandemic, countries were able to hold free and fair elections, Ukraine and its democratic partners can work together to create electoral solutions.

 

By canceling its 2024 presidential election, Ukraine has violated multiple international legal covenants and treaties to which it is a signatory. Ukraine ratified the United Nations (UN) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 1973. [5] According to Article 4, “[in] time of public emergency . . . the States Parties to the present Covenant may take measures

 

derogating from their obligations . . . provided that such measures are not inconsistent with their other obligations under international law.” [6] Derogation is “. . . the suspension or suppression of a law under particular circumstances.” [7] Different international laws often contain derogation clauses which permit states to avoid legal responsibilities during times of crisis. While derogation is permitted in certain circumstances, this article is one among an array in the covenant, and these articles must be weighed equally. Section (b) of Article 25 states that state signatories should provide the opportunity “to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot.” [8] Ukraine is derogating from its obligations and in turn, is violating the international law to which it subscribes. Holding regular elections is a critical component to ensuring that countries do not violate the civil rights of their citizens. In essence, canceling planned elections is the opposite of regularity. In addition to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Ukraine ratified Protocol 1 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in 1997. Article 3 of Protocol 1 states that parties are obligated to “hold free elections at reasonable intervals by secret ballot.” [9] International law reinforces Ukraine's responsibility to hold elections at regular intervals, an obligation that a country which aspires to join liberal democratic institutions should uphold.

First up, Fire Fuckery.

 

"Partner" list seems SPOOPY as all hell.

Something tells me, this is a trap.

You voice your concerns, they retaliate.

 

They don't REALLY want to change shit.

All they want to do, is figure out where they're being SEEN, and then sweep it under the rug.

 

Thought things were changing, until I went up against the SNAKE and realized I WAS ALONE!!
