STATEMENT Coalition of organisations dealing with the protection of the rights of victims of armed aggression against Ukraine, on the Draft Law on Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Ensuring the Exercise of the Right to Acquire and Retain Ukrainian Citizenship (Reg. No. 11469)
February 17, 2025
The Coalition of Organisations Dealing with the Protection of the Rights of Victims of Armed Aggression against Ukraine in its POSITION provided a detailed description of the key risks contained in the draft law No. 11469, adopted by the Parliament as a basis. The coalition of organisations believes that if adopted in the current version, the draft law will create significant risks of violation of citizenship rights for residents of the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, as well as stateless persons, those in need of complementary protection, their kids, and children of asylum seekers in Ukraine.
In February 2024, the Coalition of Organisations already expressed warnings about the shortcomings of this draft law, emphasising the significant risks of violating citizenship rights for residents of the temporarily occupied territory (hereinafter — TOT) of Ukraine, stateless persons, their children, children of persons with complementary protection and children of asylum seekers in Ukraine.
“Despite the importance of improving Ukraine's citizenship legislation, the changes proposed by the draft law will have a direct negative impact on the possibility of acquiring Ukrainian citizenship for stateless persons and those at risk of statelessness, undocumented Ukrainian citizens from the TOT of Ukraine, refugees, persons in need of complementary protection, asylum seekers and their children”, — declaredhe Coalition.
The STATEMENT was developed by experts in the advocacy, statelessness and refugee protection, including from R2P.
The STATEMENT contains a description of the four key risks of the draft law and a proposal for its revision. You can review the document by the link below:
