Supreme Court Resolution of 22 October 2018
On 22 October 2018, the Supreme Court issued its decision issued stating that in exceptional cases leading to serious human rights violations and/or limitations the documents issued by de facto authorities at NGCA should be taken into account. The Supreme Court issued this decision in relation to documents proving necessary work experience and work conditions for the assignment of special pensions. Currently, in NGCA such documents may be issued by enterprises with stamps containing logos and other elements of the de facto authorities. The Supreme Court’s reasoning was based in international jurisprudence. According to the Supreme Court, the recognition of such documents does not amount to the recognition of the de facto authorities. 22 October 2018 | Judicial Body: Ukraine: Supreme Court | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Ukrainians | Countries: Ukraine |

Referring to the Convention of the Rights of the Child, the Court highlighted that this assistance is granted for the benefit of the child per se in order to ensure that he/she has access to proper material support.
