Changes that are constantly taking place in the digital economy cause increasing instability of legislation in the field of data protection and security. For example, in Ukraine, under martial law, there is an urgent need to adapt the legal regulation to European data protection standards (in terms of personal data processing). First of all, the correlation between EU law, national law of the EU Member States and national legislation of the EU candidate countries results in the principle of direct effect of EU law. In addition, EU data protection law has become an essential source for EU Member States in regulating artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce and the Internet of Things (IoT). The article considers the specific topic of the conditions of approximation of international norms and legislation of Ukraine to EU law, trying to answer the questions of personal data protection in the conditions of martial law that have arisen. This work is based on a comparative analysis of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and internal data protection rules in Ukraine. At present, the research purpose of the article is to reveal the fact that data protection is a specific category of procedural law based on the principles of intellectual property law regarding data access rights and data ownership rights in the digital economy.

The work is devoted to the main problems and features that have emerged in the field of criminal justice (pre-trial investigation and trial) in a pandemic. The relevance of this article is that criminal justice, like other areas of human activity, has been affected after the spread of Covid-19 and its recognition as a pandemic. The introduction of quarantine was accompanied by some problematic issues, including uncertainty in the work of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies, lack of a unified approach to court schedules, and the conduct of certain investigative actions. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the peculiarities of criminal proceedings in a pandemic. An explorative and collative methodology (that considers the comparative law) was used. The proposals have been made to address the problems that arise during the pre-trial investigation and criminal proceedings in a pandemic, in particular: the need to allow videoconferencing in criminal proceedings out of court; a list of programs for video communication have been defined; to provide adequate funding for technical re-equipment; to suspend the terms of criminal proceedings, and; to prevent in the future the situation of cancellation of previously adopted decisions on the strengthening of criminal liability for intentional infection.
