A bill on the identification and powers of the TCC has been tabled in parliament
This refers to draft law No. 15176 “on ensuring the visual identification of TCC and SP personnel and confirming their authority”, which has already been published on the parliament’s website.
In Ukraine, there is discussion of an initiative to introduce mandatory visual identification for TCC and SP staff, as well as new rules for ethical communication with citizens.
The idea is that every employee should be easily identifiable whilst performing their duties. According to preliminary discussions, this involves personal badges that may display a service number and unit without revealing excessive personal data.
It is expected that such changes could increase public trust, reduce the number of complaints about inappropriate behaviour, and enhance the accountability of officials.
A separate component of the initiative involves the introduction of uniform communication rules for TCC staff.
Possible changes include the use of neutral and polite language, a ban on raising one’s voice during communication, the mandatory introduction of staff members, and the recording of interaction procedures in a standardised format.
It is anticipated that such rules will reduce social tension and make processes more understandable to the public.
Such initiatives are already sparking lively debate in society. Some citizens support the idea of greater transparency and oversight, whilst others emphasise the need for additional mechanisms to protect the rights of both conscripts and the staff of the institutions themselves.
Experts, as noted, believe that the key to the effectiveness of such changes will be their practical implementation and monitoring of compliance with the new rules.
The initiative is currently under discussion. If adopted, detailed guidelines may be drawn up to define the format of identification, communication standards and mechanisms for monitoring compliance.
It is expected that final decisions may be presented following further consultations with relevant bodies and the public.
As reported by ThePublic, in the first quarter of 2026, the Office of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights received 1,657 complaints regarding possible violations by the TCC and the SP. Most frequently, people complained about the conscription of those not subject to mobilisation, the process of military medical commissions, and appeals against decisions during mobilisation measures.
