The relevance of this study lies in the need to consider the legal instruments for deterring a nuclear conflict in connection with the crisis of nuclear safety and instability in the current military-political geo-environment. The purpose of this study was to examine international experience in the field of legal consolidation of prohibitive norms of deterrence necessary to prevent nuclear threats. The following general scientific and special methods were employed in the study: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, generalisation, as well as formal legal, legal hermeneutics, logical- legal, comparative legal, and historical-legal methods. The study examined the specialised international legal framework of regulatory documents in the field of nuclear safety, safe operation of nuclear facilities and nuclear deterrence, as well as nuclear deterrence strategies and their development depending on the geopolitical situation. Based on the results of the study, it is determined that the legal regulation of nuclear conflict containment is in the form of prohibitory orders consolidated in the relevant international treaties in the field of nuclear and radiation safety. The study highlighted the main international treaties positioned as legal means of nuclear deterrence. The interaction of “soft” and “hard” law in nuclear and radiation safety agreements was considered, as well as the specific features of consolidating such norms in municipal law. The study provided generalising conclusions in terms of nuclear deterrence strategies, specifically, a vision of a new concept in this area, based on technological superiority in non-nuclear means of repelling nuclear strikes and massive precision non-nuclear retaliatory strikes. It was also concluded that attention should be paid to the development of a new international treaty that would combine all the rules prohibiting the use of nuclear energy for military purposes, as well as the rules governing nuclear and radiation safety as integral components of global nuclear security. The practical significance of this study is that its materials can be used for further development of the concepts of non-nuclear or legal nuclear deterrence

Drinking water quality requirements regulate the maximum permissible concentrations of various contaminants to ensure public safety. Methods for testing the quality of drinking water and the frequency of their implementation are determined by the legislative standards governing the activities of water supply companies. The main hygienic requirements for drinking water quality include epidemic and radiation safety, positive organoleptic properties and non-toxic chemical components. In times of military aggression and conflict, there is a serious threat of water pollution. Military operations can lead to damage and destruction of water infrastructure, such as water supply systems, water treatment plants and other facilities. This may result in the penetration of contaminants, including bacteria, chemicals and other harmful substances, into drinking water sources. Such water contamination can pose a serious risk to public health through the possible spread of disease, transmission of infections and other water-related illnesses. Most chemicals pose problems only when exposed over a long period of time; however, some harmful chemicals that enter drinking water are of concern due to their effects over a short period of time. A system of monitoring and early detection of threats is an important element for effective response to potential water contamination under martial law. This system should continuously monitor the quality of water at all stages of its processing, from its entry into the water supply system to its distribution. Any anomalies or changes in water quality may indicate potential contamination, and the monitoring system should alert the relevant services and authorities to take the necessary measures. Identifying potential chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear water contaminants for priority control is critical for the organization and reliable functioning of the monitoring system and early detection of threats in wartime. The task of improving and upgrading drinking water supply systems that pose the greatest risk to public health should be considered a priority. Once potential threats are identified, the monitoring system can respond in a timely manner, preventing contamination of drinking water and ensuring the safety of water supply systems. Keywords: drinking water, chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear pollution, monitoring, safety plan.
The problem of human rights protection is particularly acute during armed conflicts, when the most widespread and serious human rights violations occur. International humanitarian law is a reliable tool for countering such violations, specifically through the implementation of its norms alongside the European Convention on Human Rights in the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The purpose of this study was to make some generalisations about the approaches of the European Court of Human Rights to determining the relationship and correlation between the European Convention on Human Rights and inter- national human rights law, international humanitarian law, and the limits and conditions of application of international humanitarian law by the European Court of Human Rights. The study employed a combination of methods of cognition to collect, analyse, and interpret information, namely: documentary, statistical, legal, historical, and critical. The chosen methodology ensures the objectivity and reliability of the study. The study was based on the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, which examine, analyse, and apply international humanitarian law, as well as on academic publications, recommendations and explanations of international institutions, experts, and human rights organisations regarding the relationship between inter- national human rights law, the European Convention on Human Rights and international humanitarian law, and the possibility of their simultaneous application. The study summarised a range of legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights, which helped to identify the principal approaches and trends in the applica- tion of international humanitarian law in the consideration of complaints of human rights violations in armed conflicts, including the expansion of the practice of applying international humanitarian law, strengthening the protection of human rights in armed conflict, and attention to new challenges associated with armed conflicts. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that it contributes to a better understanding of international humanitarian law and the legal positions of the Court, and to the development of additional mechanisms for ensuring respect for human rights and international humanitarian law
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
