Political rights are designed to enable the participation of citizens in the socio-political life of the country and the management of public affairs. They can be implemented in various forms, such as the engagement in the activities of political parties, participation in elections and referendums, peaceful assemblies, etc. Under special legal regimes, these rights can quite naturally be limited — that is why elections do not take place during martial law. Because of the need to effectively resist the aggressor, it is impossible to ensure compliance with international standards and principles of suffrage instrumental to the democratic elections, and indispensable for the elected government to be considered legitimate.
