Can employees of shopping malls forcibly deliver men to update personal data: clarification

On May 18, 2024, a new law on mobilization came into force, according to which all persons liable for military service aged 18 to 60 must update their personal data within 60 days. During this period, the Territorial center for recruitment employees have no grounds to force people to update their personal data.

This was stated by Oleksandr Pavlichenko, Executive Director of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union, during a telethon. Citizens liable for military service can update their data at the Territorial center for recruitment, Center for the provision of administrative services or using the "Reserve+" application.

"Employees of the Territorial center for recruitment have no reason to bring a person to update personal data until the 60-day period has expired," Pavlichenko explained.

He noted that employees of the Territorial center for recruitment can only hand over a summons to verify the data, after which a person will be given a more specific time frame for updating military registration documents.

"But this is a duplication of two procedures. One procedure is provided for by law, these 60 days, and the second procedure is when a person receives a summons," emphasized Pavlichenko.

He also reminded that there are three types of calls: for verification of personal data, for passing the military medical commission (MMC), and a combat call, which is issued for the purpose of mobilization of a person liable for military service.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, on May 18, the Ministry of Defense launched the Reserve+ mobile application. In it, persons liable for military service aged 18-60 can update their data online, after which they will receive information from the Oberig register about themselves in the application.

The Ministry of Defense also urged non-conscripts not to download the mobile application. This leads to an excessive load on the system and, as a result, malfunctions.
