The quintessence of protecting the honor and dignity of a National Police officer by S. H. Pevko

“…It has also been established that there was a legislative initiative to recognize the violation of the right to honor and dignity of a police officer as an offense and to make appropriate amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, but it did not come into force. Therefore, it has been proposed to develop a separate mechanism for judicial protection of the right to respect for the honor and dignity of a police officer or to recognize such an act as socially dangerous or socially harmful with appropriate amendments to legislative acts.…”
