%X This research analyzes the legislation on human genomic information in wartime conditions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the practical implementation of the aforementioned Ukrainian legislation in wartime conditions, to determine problematic issues and ways to solve them and to study positive international experience in this direction. The types, procedures, and peculiarities of mandatory state registration of genomic information by the military were considered. Positive international experience regarding the functioning of DNA sample registries was studied, advantages and disadvantages were outlined. The statistics of the identification of missing persons during the hostilities, the consequences of cooperation with the International Commission on Missing Persons, and the relevance of initiating the creation of collection points for DNA profiles of Ukrainians abroad were analyzed. The main problematic questions that occur during the practical implementation of the above-mentioned Law were identified; and the ways of their solution were planned. Proposals were made regarding: the provision of clear guarantees regarding the prevention of the risk of loss of genomic information or its leakage, as well as the owner's (controller's) duty to notify the person of such violations; introduction of an amendment to the Instruction on the Organization of the Burial of Military Personnel Who Died (Passed Away) During Military Service regarding the part concerning the prohibition of burying unidentified servicemen as unknowns; provision in the Electronic Register of genomic information of people a separate section, which will record information exclusively about persons who disappeared as a result of hostilities‎.
