Abstract. The issue of social and legal protection of demobilized war veterans and family members of the deceased is a priority for Ukraine. Modern system of state support for veterans should include not only traditional forms and types of social protection, but also measures to reintegrate the demobilized into peaceful life, as well as special programs of medical and psychological rehabilitation. Research of the experience of states that have a long-term state policy of supporting war veterans and family members of the dead (USA, Croatia, South Korea, Israel) has proven to be useful in this regard.
Key words: combatant, state veteran policy, demobilized, adaptation to civilian life, rehabilitation.

Abstract. Comparative analysis and summary of the legislation on the implementation of architectural and construction (urban planning) control by independent non-governmental (private) entities was carried out in the analytical note, within the framework of the issues raised in the request: conditions and procedure of power delegation to provide architectural and construction (urban planning) control by independent non-governmental (private) entities; supervision of the independent non-governmental (private) entities' activities under architectural and construction (urban planning) control by the state; powers and liability of independent non-governmental (private) entities in the implementation of architectural and construction (urban planning) control.
The legislation of Ukraine and five European countries: Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, France and Norway was analyzed in the study. It has been established that the delegation of powers to carry out architectural and construction (urban planning) control to independent non-governmental (private) entities is one of the manifestations of a common European country's tendency towards gradual deregulation of this area. The process of such delegation is accompanied by the introduction of new certification systems and licensing systems designed to ensure proper performance by independent non-governmental (private) entities of architectural and construction (urban planning) control to fulfill their duties.
Key words: urban planning, architectural and construction control and supervision, entities of architectural and construction control, the legal status of architectural and construction control entities.
