The goal of the research paper is to study, with active reference to the comparative legal method, Ukrainian and foreign models of civil-military cooperation (CIMIC). The following scientific methods have been used to study chosen military-legal issues, substantiate the theses expressed by the authors, and formulate conclusions: historical-legal, system analysis, formal-logical and method of comparison. It has been determined that CIMIC concept remains novel for both Ukrainian military and civil society in general at the current stage of national, political and defense development; in fact, CIMIC doctrine is also a relatively new phenomenon in the military doctrine and standards of NATO member states. Based on the results of the study, it has been argued that Ukrainian CIMIC doctrine of the Central Command as a program document in a certain direction should further focus on the following areas: 1) development of a culture of mutual respect, trust and support between all involved military and non-military actors; 2) promotion of patriotic education in Ukrainian society, protection of the rights and freedoms of members of the Central Election Commission; 3) use of CIMIC units as a platform for civil-military contact and cooperation in eastern Ukraine, especially in the area of the Joint Forces Operation; 4) promotion of legal guarantees of gender equality and equal opportunities for men and women in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. |
