The reasons for not appearing at the TCC have been determined: the new law on mobilization
On May 18, 2024, the Law of Ukraine dated April 11, 2024 No. 3633-IX “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding Certain Issues of Military Service, Mobilization, and Military Registration,” which provides for a number of significant changes, will enter into force. Before proceeding to them, it is necessary to recall the stages of passage of the draft law – its life cycle, so to speak, in order to understand why the legislative process is so long.
Therefore, Article 22 of the new law emphasizes the duty of citizens to respond to the summons of the Territorial Procurement Center (TCC). However, at the same time, valid reasons are defined for which they have the right not to appear before the TCC with impunity.
Such reasons include:
– disaster;
– illness of a conscript;
– military operations or other consequences of the war, due to which the conscript does not have the opportunity to arrive at the TCC on time;
– death of a close relative of a conscript or a relative of his wife/husband.
It should be noted that good reasons must be confirmed by the relevant state authorities.
If a citizen has good reasons for not coming to the TCC, he must inform him of what happened as soon as possible, but no later than three days from the date specified in the summons. The maximum permissible legal delay in non-arrival of a conscript to the TCC is seven days.
At the same time, the new law stipulates that, in addition to representatives of the TCC, summonses may be served on conscripts by:
– National police;
– local bodies of state power and self-government;
– representatives of the State Border Service of Ukraine in the border lane, the controlled border area and at checkpoints across the state border of Ukraine;
– heads of institutions, organizations, companies.
According to the law, all conscripted men between the ages of 18 and 60 during martial law must carry a military registration document – a military card or a temporary card, which is checked together with an identity document. They must be presented at the request of an authorized person during a data check, while authorized representatives of the TCC or the police have the right to take photos and videos, as well as use technical devices, tools and specialized software with access to the Unified State Register of conscripts, conscripts conscripts and reservists.
