Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the international community is facing many serious challenges such as human rights violations and an increasing number of armed conflicts. The number of victims of these violations is enormous and is still growing. The scale of these problems forces us to reflect on the role of international law and the tasks of the international community. One of the biggest challenges for international law is, on the one hand, prevention of international crimes and serious violations of international human rights law, and, on the other hand, protection of victims of these violations. The international community should endeavor to minimize damage and trauma caused by breaking international law and to provide justice for the victims. The main research problem is to reconstruct the standard of protection for family members of victims of serious violations of human rights under international human rights law and international criminal law.
