The bill (Reg. No.7252) presents a new version of the Law "On Refugees." In contrary to the effective Law, the bill sets the order for recognizing an individual as a refugee or a person in need of additional or temporary shelter, regulates loss or deprivation of such status, and offers a legal status for the above-mentioned individuals in Ukraine.
The bill takes into account the Convention on status of refugees of 1951, and the Protocol concerning status of refugees of 1967. It improves the legislation on refugees, considering the acts on migration and those adopted by the Council of the European Union.
