On 2 July 2026, Maryna Utkina, Associate Professor at the Department of Criminal Law Disciplines and Procedure of the academic and research institute of law, Sumy State University, participated in the CAJI Annual Conference 2026, hosted by the Centre for Access to Justice and Inclusion at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
As part of Panel 3: “Exclusion, Marginalisation and Human Rights,” she presented a research paper examining the impact of martial law, institutional exclusion, and accountability in Ukraine. Her presentation explored how emergency legal frameworks may create structural barriers to access to justice and social inclusion, while also addressing the implications of these challenges for the development of effective post-conflict accountability mechanisms.
Participation in the conference provided an excellent opportunity to present current research findings, engage in academic discussions with international scholars, and strengthen international cooperation in the fields of law, human rights, and access to justice.
