Теоретико-правова характеристика визначення поняття «внутрішньо переміщені особи»

Abstract

Досліджено поняття «внутрішньо переміщені особи» в українському законодавстві. Проаналізовано теоретико-правові підходи до поняття «внутрішньо переміщені особи» та запропоновано авторське його визначення. Акцентовано увагу на необхідності приведення юридичних термінів до таких, які мають однакове визначення в усіх актах з метою виключення можливості різного тлумачення правових норм. Наголошено, що соціальний захист внутрішньо переміщених осіб є складовою цілеспрямованої соціально-економічної політики держави, хоча і потребує великих матеріальних витрат.

The article deal with the concept “internally displaced persons”. The problem of international advocacy of internally displaced persons is the object of cooperation at the international level. Any military conflict causes the emergence of internally displaced persons, refugees, and crises. In 2014, for the first time in its history, Ukraine faced the problem of internally displaced persons, protection of their socio-economic and cultural rights and freedoms, and guarantees of their realization. There has also been defining theoretical-legal problems related to protection of socio-economic and cultural rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons and guarantees of their realization, conducting an integrated analysis of the concept “internally displaced person”, and developing our own definition of the studied concept. Social protection of the internally displaced is inherent in the state social-economic strategy whose implementation requires considerable material resources. Since that time, Ukraine has adopted a number of normative-legal acts and begun the study of international practices related to regulation of such processes with a view to solving the specific problems of internally displaced persons. The process of internal displacement of the population has a negative impact and consequences, during an ongoing war conflict in particular. The mass migration without crossing Ukraine’s borders was the result of the war conflict in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. A great number of people was forced to leave their homes and move to other localities without crossing the state borders because of an increased threat to security in different spheres of their life activity. This category of persons was mostly harmed materially, confronting with legal, property, and socio-cultural problems It is important to create favorable conditions for adapting the internally displaced in their new places of residence. Development of adequate conditions for comfort living and integration into the workforce market should be prioritized by the state policy aimed at eliminating discrimination of internally displaced persons. Thus, improvement of legal regulations that define the legal status of internally displaced persons involves, first and foremost, systematizing legal terms for them to denote the same in all acts with a view to excluding different interpretations of legal norms.
