On liability for stalking in the context of the Istanbul convention implementation by Dudorov O., Dudorova K.

“…In particular, the establishment of an open list of actions that can be considered as harassment deserves acceptance, because such approach is motivated by a positive desire to cover the variety of behavioral patterns typical for modern stalking and to prevent the possible laxity of the criminal law, for example, due to the development of digital technologies; 3) the fallacy of the approach is argued, according to which the objective aspect of prosecution as a component of a new criminal offense for Ukraine should be determined through an exhaustive list of specified actions. …”
