MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THEIR CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIOLATING THE RULES OF USE AND STORAGE OF MILITARY PROPERTY

Abstract

This scientific article is dedicated to a detailed analysis of the issues surrounding the criminal liability of military personnel for violations of rules governing the use and storage of military property, a critical aspect of maintaining discipline and efficiency within military structures. The article examines the motivational factors contributing to such violations, including the insufficient awareness of military personnel, a lack of proper educational influence, and gaps in internal control systems. It identifies the primary causes of these violations as poor management of military property, inadequate professional training of personnel, and the absence of preventive control mechanisms. The analysis of existing disciplinary procedures reveals their limited effectiveness, which is attributed to inconsistencies in the regulatory framework, ambiguity in sanctions, and the lack of effective mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of disciplinary decisions. Significant attention is paid to international experience in regulating the use of military property, particularly in the context of armed forces participating in peacekeeping operations. The necessity of harmonizing national legislation with international standards to enhance control efficiency is emphasized. The article proposes several specific measures to improve management systems and strengthen discipline among military personnel. These include the introduction of stringent monitoring mechanisms, regular training sessions to enhance legal awareness, the modernization of property accounting and storage systems, and fostering a culture of accountability and consciousness within military structures through the development of motivational programs. In conclusion, the findings of the study can serve as a foundation for further improvement of the regulatory framework and practical measures aimed at enhancing discipline, optimizing the management of military property, and preventing violations within military structures. The article aims to contribute to systemic changes in approaches to ensuring discipline and efficiency in the military sector.
