Kyiv Court of Appeal Resolution of 4 July 2018
On 04 July 2018, the Kyiv Court of Appeal confirmed the decision of the Kyiv Circuit Administrative Court dd. 29 June 2017 on recognizing several points of Governmental Resolutions 365 and 637 as not corresponding to the Law on IDPs and Law on ensuring the mandatory State pension. Referring to the legislation in force, the Kyiv Court of Appeal agreed with the conclusion of the lower instance court on the discriminatory nature of the disputed points as they define additional criteria for IDPs willing to receive social benefits and pensions. The existence of such criteria put IDP-pensioners in less favourable conditions in comparison with other pensioners and social benefits’ recipients. 4 July 2018 | Judicial Body: Ukraine: Appeal Courts | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Internally displaced persons (IDPs) - Ukrainians | Countries: Ukraine |

The Supreme Court Resolution of 14 March 2018
On 14 March 2018, the Supreme Court of Ukraine established the fact that forced displacement in July 2014 of the applicants in a case from the “occupied part of the Luhansk region” occurred as a result of the “armed aggression” of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the occupation of the part of the Luhansk region by the Russian Federation. Both the first instance court and the court of appeal rejected the application indicating that the establishment of such reasons for internal displacement and its further clarification into a legal fact do not fall under the competence of the court of general jurisdiction. The Supreme Court decided to establish a clear link between the “widely known and accepted fact of the Russian aggression” and the forced displacement. 14 March 2018 | Judicial Body: Ukraine: Supreme Court | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Internally displaced persons (IDPs) - Ukrainians | Countries: Ukraine |
