The article is devoted to the study of one of the stages of the development of legislation on war crimes in Ukrainian lands in the 16th c. Section II of the Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (1529, 1566, 1588) is analyzed. War crimes groups and a system of punishments for war crimes have been identified. Changes made to the legislation on war crimes are considered.In the second section of all three Charters of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, entitled «On the Zemsky Defense», some of the war crimes depictions and penalties for them were placed. The Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania did not contain the concept of war crime, but defined the range of subjects and age (17, 18 years).The analysis of the text of the second section of the Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania allows to identify the following groups of illegal actions, which can be classified as military: flight from combat, evasion, improper military service, war crimes, damage to civilians.The purpose of punishment remained intimidation, damages, loss of property or life. As is typical of the system of punishments for war crimes, the statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania provided for punishment without determining its size.The statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for war crimes provided for such punishments as the loss of one’s personal estate, loss of office, fine, reparation, deprivation of honor, death sentence. With the adoption of each subsequent Statute of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it should be noted that the system of penalties for war crimes has not undergone significant changes. ; Статья посвящена исследованию одного из этапов развития законодательства о воинских преступлениях на украинских землях в XVI в.
