This article analyzes institutional, procedural, and behavioral attributes, principles, and indicators of typology of challenges and threats caused by the coronavirus pandemic in the world. The analysis shows that most countries faced external shocks caused by COVID-19 in the absence of a universal social protection system, a reliable health system, a plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, or a stable real economy with quality jobs. Economic security has become an important priority, although this is not about social protection, but also about supporting strategic sectors of the economy. Balancing on the brink of the needfor socialprotection, on the one hand, and the rise of austerity, on the other, governments opted for severe economic restrictions. Thus, through the naaliticos method the authors describen the main geopolitical trends that will be the basis for the construction of a new world order that awaits us on the other side of the pandemic, including deglobalization, the geopolitical rise of China, the severe restrictions on human and civil rights, the intensification of the interstate armed forces, in context of growing conflicts and local protests.

The normative legal acts of Ukraine and the member states of Europol and Eurojust are analyzed, which are part of joint investigation groups within the European Union in the organization of the investigation of military crimes. The authors have pointed out that the customary international law requires the states to exercise their jurisdiction and provides an opportunity to exercise the universal jurisdiction regarding the military crimes, which are not serious violations. The authors determine that the universal jurisdiction may be provided by the norm of international customary or treaty law. Universal jurisdiction can be exercised either by the adoption of internal legislative acts (legislative universal jurisdiction), or in the form of investigation of persons, who are suspected of committing offenses and their transfer to the court (lawful universal jurisdiction). The grounds for the exercise of universal jurisdiction regarding the military crimes are present in both international treaty and customary law. The authors suggest forming a single concept for the investigation of the military crimes that have been committed in the conditions of armed conflict and the criminal prosecution of perpetrators. Namely, this concept, according to the authors, is defined as one that has important scientific and practical significance, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary holistic theoretical system regarding the activity in special conditions, which in general brings together a set of theoretical provisions on specific patterns in the sphere of legal support, organization of investigation and collection of evidentiary information on military crimes, search, detention and transfer of officials, who are involved in committing military crimes, carrying out the international legal proceedings regarding the perpetrators. Such concept will allow uniting scientific provisions on the activities of criminal justice bodies in the condition of the armed conflict into a single system, which, in turn, contributes to the identification of unexplored issues and the systematic solution of relevant problems. It is important for investigative and judicial practice, because it equips the criminal justice authorities with scientifically sound recommendations regarding the organization of the investigation of military crimes, as well as the methods of their conduction.
