ABSTRACT. The scientific article deals with the peculiarities of detention of a person who is suspected of committing a criminal offense. Attention was also drawn to the transformation of the provisions on maintenance under martial law. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, the current Criminal Procedure Code has undergone many changes and additions, which is due to certain specifics of the state of war and the execution of procedural actions within its framework.

According to international practice, the detention of a person suspected of committing a criminal offense is not fully justified when it is carried out to establish the personal data of the person or his location if they are known to the pre-trial investigation body. So, it is about the objectification of any restriction of the right to freedom and personal integrity, which consists in determining the presence of risks that will threaten the effective implementation of the pre-trial investigation.

These changes and additions relate to the transformation of various institutions of the criminal process, in particular the institution of detention. The legal acts regulating the protection of the right to freedom and personal integrity have been analyzed. The author draws attention to numerous theoretical and applied studies in this field. American law on detention is also analyzed and key aspects are emphasized. However, it was also established that US legislation and the grounds on which the police can detain a person suspected of committing a criminal offense are closely correlated. The only issue is that there are bureaucratic mechanisms in Ukrainian legislation that affect the quality and effectiveness of the pre-trial investigation.

Keywords: detention by an authorized official, martial law, arrest, right to liberty and personal integrity.
