In the contemporary era of global scientific and technological development and the formation of a new world legal order, the concept of human ecology economics was introduced into scientific circulation, and a novel ecological and economic approach was developed in the theory of economic science. This approach enables the reduction of the risks of depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation due to unbalanced economic development. The ecological and economic approach is predicated on the widespread utilisation of an economic and legal mechanism that facilitates the reconciliation of environmental and economic interests of society with maximum respect for human rights in the formulation of economic policy. In the further development of a new branch of economic science, namely human ecology economics, it is essential to take the latest developments in the field of human rights into consideration, with particular emphasis on those pertaining to the generations of these rights. The article is dedicated to theoretical and legal approaches to understanding the generations of human rights in the era of globalization, at the crossroads of the world order and the emergence of existential challenges for modern civilisation. The new order should be formed based on the principle of respect for human rights as a fundamental value. However, contemporary economic policy and scientific and technological progress have the potential to compromise the right to human dignity, exacerbate disparities in access to fundamental resources, notably drinking water, and contribute to the infringement of other economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights. The new world order must be founded on the basis of respect for human rights and necessitates a radical transformation of the economy. The implementation of novel approaches to economic development, a component of which is the economy of human ecology, will facilitate reform. It has been demonstrated that the sustainable development model has a contribution to the development of a new type of economy. This necessitates novel approaches to environmental human rights, which, in light of scientific and technological progress, should be regarded as ecological-economic rights. The impact of economic development on human rights is analysed, and it is concluded that such development exacerbates risks, including resource depletion, violations of human rights to equality and non-discrimination, etc. Concurrently, it is emphasised that risks can be circumvented through the implementation of an ecological economy as a prerequisite for sustainable development. The text places particular emphasis on the economic aspect of environmental human rights. The ecosystemic approach to the classification of human rights is a concept that is currently being explored. It has been argued that it has significant potential; however, the rights of nature differ from human rights. These categories cannot be equated. Therefore, it is only appropriate to speak about the greening of human rights as part of the global process of greening world development. This new discourse requires a change in approach to understanding the category of "generations of human rights". Attempts to argue for the inclusion of somatic, digital and environmental rights in the fourth and fifth generations of human rights are being examined, respectively. The approach under discussion is rendered moot by the fact that it harbours risks of disrupting the established architecture of human rights. Drawing upon the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, this study underscores the emergence of digital and somatic rights as novel facets of the human right to life, the right to respect for private and family life, the right to freedom of expression, and the right to information confidentiality.

Вступ. Активний розвиток цифрових технологій і систем штучного інтелекту зумовлює їхнє поступове впровадження у сферу правничої діяльності, зокрема в адвокатську практику. Водночас використання таких технологій породжує нові етичні та правові виклики, пов’язані з ризиками алгоритмічної упередженості, непрозорістю функціонування систем штучного інтелекту, загрозами конфіденційності клієнтської інформації та можливим впливом на незалежність професійного судження адвоката. Мета. Метою дослідження є аналіз правових та етичних засад використання штучного інтелекту в адвокатській діяльності, а також визначення меж його застосування з урахуванням необхідності дотримання принципів верховенства права, законності, незалежності адвоката, конфіденційності та уникнення конфлікту інтересів. Матеріали і методи. Матеріалами дослідження є: нормативно-правові акти України, що регулюють здійснення адвокатської діяльності, зокрема положення Закону України «Про адвокатуру та адвокатську діяльність» та Правил адвокатської етики; міжнародно-правові акти та рекомендаційні документи у сфері регулювання використання штучного інтелекту, прав людини та правосуддя, зокрема Рекомендації ЮНЕСКО з етики штучного інтелекту, Рамкова конвенція Ради Європи про штучний інтелект, права людини, демократію та верховенство права, а також Регламент Європейського Союзу про штучний інтелект (AI Act); праці вітчизняних та зарубіжних учених, присвячені проблемам цифровізації правничої діяльності, етичним аспектам застосування штучного інтелекту, а також питанням забезпечення принципу верховенства права у сфері правосуддя. У процесі здійснення дослідження використано такі наукові методи: формально-юридичний метод (для аналізу змісту нормативно-правових актів, що регулюють адвокатську діяльність та використання технологій штучного інтелекту); порівняльно-правовий метод (для дослідження міжнародних підходів до правового та етичного регулювання застосування штучного інтелекту у сфері правосуддя та адвокатури); метод аналізу та синтезу (для визначення основних ризиків і переваг використання штучного інтелекту в адвокатській практиці); метод теоретичного узагальнення (для систематизації наукових підходів до проблеми використання штучного інтелекту у правничій діяльності); метод логічного узагальнення результатів (для формулювання висновків і визначення перспектив подальшого нормативного та етичного регулювання використання штучного інтелекту в адвокатській діяльності). Результати. У дослідженні встановлено, що використання штучного інтелекту в адвокатській діяльності може суттєво підвищити ефективність юридичної роботи, однак його застосування повинно здійснюватися з дотриманням чітких етичних і правових обмежень. Обґрунтовано, що результати, отримані за допомогою систем штучного інтелекту, мають розглядатися виключно як допоміжний інструмент, тоді як остаточна правова оцінка та відповідальність за прийняті рішення повинні залишатися за адвокатом. Перспективи. Перспективним напрямом подальших досліджень є розроблення комплексних етичних стандартів використання штучного інтелекту в адвокатській діяльності, а також удосконалення національного нормативного регулювання з метою забезпечення балансу між інноваційним розвитком технологій та гарантіями дотримання прав людини і принципів правової держави.

This article examines the necessity and legal feasibility of institutionalizing psychosocial support within the criminal procedure framework of Ukraine, particularly in the context of martial law and post-war recovery. Drawing on doctrinal legal analysis and comparative law, with special attention to the German model, the study highlights the acute psychological vulnerability of certain groups—children, persons with disabilities, war veterans, victims of war crimes—and their increased exposure to secondary victimization during criminal proceedings. Existing legislative gaps in the Ukrainian Criminal Procedure Code are identified, with emphasis on the lack of procedural mechanisms for the involvement of psychologists and facilitators. It proposes a comprehensive legal reform package, including the introduction of new procedural definitions, participant rights, and institutional roles for psychosocial facilitators. By conceptualizing psychosocial support as a form of crisis procedural communication, the study argues for its critical role in ensuring procedural fairness, dignity, and effective participation. The findings aim to inform national legislative efforts and promote alignment with international human rights standards, particularly those established under EU Directive 2012/29/EU. The article concludes with specific legislative recommendations and calls for the development of an integrated system of support services within the Ukrainian justice system.

The article considers how a high occupational safety culture is beneficial to employees, employers and the state. It is emphasised that AI can be used to solve the following issues: assessing risks in the workplace; preparing materials for training and briefings; developing questions to test knowledge of a specific regulatory legal act on labour protection; conducting and analyzing audits of the state of labour protection during work and operation of machines, mechanisms, and equipment; developing and updating documents; investigating and analyzing accidents and incidents; planning comprehensive measures for established safety, occupational hygiene, and production environment standards, improving the existing level of labour protection, preventing industrial injuries, occupational diseases, accidents, and fires; planning work of labour protection specialists with task priorities. Various prevention methods have proven effective in preventing accidents at work and in increasing labour productivity. Only through social dialogue can employees, employers and governments come together to address the complex issues surrounding artificial intelligence and employment, and ensure that all work is decent work. However, along with the benefits, digitalization brings new challenges, including issues of ethical data use, protection of personal information, the risk of discrimination due to algorithmic bias, and the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life. New technologies will change the field of occupational health and safety, in particular through task automation, the use of smart tools and safety monitoring systems, the use of augmented and virtual reality, as well as algorithmic work management. The digital transformation of work has led to the evolution of forms of work organization, such as remote work and digital work platforms. Technologies, approaches, and management of the economy of Ukraine and the whole world are changing.

The article examines the processes of transformation of education in the context of globalization and digitalization, in particular, trends in the development of lifelong learning and the introduction of digital educational technologies. It examines modern strategies for the formation of competencies in different countries of the world, including the USA, Canada, the countries of the European Union and Japan, and also analyzes Ukrainian realities in the context of integration into the global educational space. It is shown that digitalization, personalization of educational trajectories, development of open educational resources and introduction of innovative technologies are becoming key factors determining the effectiveness of continuing education. The importance of creating a national digital educational ecosystem integrated with European certification systems, which allows ensuring mutual recognition of qualifications, expanding academic mobility and adapting curricula to the needs of the global labor market, is substantiated. A theoretical and analytical model of the development of lifelong learning is presented, reflecting the complex interaction of global trends and national characteristics, allowing to predict future transformations of educational systems and optimize strategies for their development. The article emphasizes the practical significance of the results for higher education institutions, education management bodies and educational platforms, as they form an analytical basis for planning educational programs that meet the modern requirements of the knowledge economy and global society. Thus, the study demonstrates that the transformation of education in a global context contributes to the formation of competencies necessary for effective participation in modern society and creates conditions for the development of lifelong, flexible and inclusive learning. Keywords: globalization, lifelong learning, digitalization, transformation of education, competency-based approach

Ukraine is undergoing accelerated population ageing under conditions of full-scale war, displacement, and systemic pressure on public institutions.These dynamics have exposed structural limitations of fragmented health and social care systems and intensified the need for integrated, person-centred approaches to supporting older people.This article analyses Ukraine's systemic readiness to implement the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework, with a particular focus on governance, financing, workforce policy, and administrative coordination.The study is based on a national mixed-methods readiness assessment conducted in 2025-2026 across two regions of Ukraine.Using the WHO ICOPE Implementation Scorecard as an analytical framework, the research evaluates macro-level (system) and meso-level (service delivery) capacities for integrated care implementation.Findings indicate that Ukraine demonstrates partial and uneven readiness, corresponding to an early implementation stage.While important enabling factors exist -including primary health care reform, decentralised social service networks, and high professional motivation -critical systemic enablers remain underdeveloped.These include interministerial governance mechanisms, integrated financing models, workforce coordination structures, and interoperable information systems.A structured SWOT analysis suggests that Ukraine's challenge lies not only in limited system capacity but in the misalignment of institutional, financial, and governance arrangements.Workforce shortages and resource constraints remain significant, yet existing elements of integrated care operate largely in parallel rather than as a coordinated system, reducing their effectiveness and sustainability.At the same time, post-war recovery, digitalisation, and ongoing public administration reforms create a window of opportunity to align these capacities and institutionalise integrated care as a core component of national ageing policy.
