Ukraine's Constitutional Court curbs government epidemic emergency powers

Original: 📰 Ukraine's Constitutional Court strikes down govt's power to limit rights during epidemics 🔗 https:// en.interfax.com.u

Ukraine's Constitutional Court has ruled against a law that allowed the government to restrict citizens' rights during epidemics. The decision limits the executive's emergency authority in public health crises. The ruling is drawing attention as Ukraine continues operating under martial law amid the Russian invasion, raising questions about the balance between state emergency powers and constitutional protections.

Why now: The ruling narrows state emergency powers at a time when Ukraine is already under martial law due to the war.
