On February 20, 2014, the russian army took over the Crimean Peninsula – it was the day when russia first violated international law – which was qualified as an act of aggression against Ukraine. On that day, on Maidan in Kyiv, Ukrainian criminal authorities shot people who were defending the European integration aspirations of the Ukrainian people. In fact, the Russian-Ukrainian war began on that day, and it happened because of Ukraine’s European vector of development. On February 24, 2022, russia launched a full-scale offensive, committing thousands of war crimes against the civilian population of Ukraine.
On June 23, 2022, the EU granted candidate status to Ukraine, which once again legally enshrined the European integration choice of the Ukrainian people, which they continue to defend in the war, at the European level.
Realizing the need to develop and popularize high-quality Ukrainian books on law, security, and European integration under war and Ukraine’s preparation for EU accession, at the end of 2022, Odesa State University of Internal Affairs initiated the unification of the Ukrainian Publishers & Booksellers Association, Publishing House “Juridica”, and CUESC as co-organizers to prepare, arrange, and conduct the All-Ukrainian (national) competition of scientific and educational publications on law, security, and European integration “Juridica”.
In 2024, the competition encouraged scholars from all over Ukraine to publish works on law, security, and European integration. Despite the war, 134 publications were submitted to the 2nd competition, and 81 winners were selected in 27 nominations. More information about the event and photos are available here.
