At this stage national refugee-related legislation in Ukraine is relatively precise and transparent. In particular, the Law ?On Refugees and Persons in Need of Complementary or Temporary Protection? is a directly applicable law, since all the procedural issues are precisely and consistently regulated in it, there are practically no provisions that are optional as to their content. The problem remains as regards adjustment of provisions of other laws with provisions of the new Law. In addition, in the course of almost ten years since the moment of Ukraine?s accession to the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, the problem of compliance of Ukraine?s national legislation with its provisions has not been solved. The maximum approximation of national legislation in the area of refugees with the respective legislation of the European Union, in the author?s opinion, is complicated because of differences in the contents of the notion of asylum. In particular, provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine on asylum have been borrowed from the USSR legislation on political emigrants, which is not adjusted to the notion of asylum generally accepted in the international law. ; Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union
The issue of combat against human trafficking is very pressing for Ukraine, just like for most postSoviet countries. As it is indicated in the Migration Profile of Ukraine compiled in 2011 by Ukrainian migration experts based on research and on statistical data provided by Ukrainian national authorities and international specialists in the field of migration, Ukraine is primarily a state of origin for human trafficking victims1. Ukraine is also a country of transit for foreigners who became human trafficking or smuggling victims on their way to other countries, primarily Turkey or United Arab Emirates, from Moldova, Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.The issue of combat against human trafficking is very pressing for Ukraine, just like for most postSoviet countries.

На данном этапе национальное законодательство Украины в сфере беженцев является достаточно четким и прозрачным. В частности, Закон «О беженцах и лицах, нуждающихся в дополнительной или временной защите» является законом прямого действия, так как в нем четко и последовательно регламентируются все процедурные вопросы, практически не существует положений, являющихся по своему содержанию дискреционными. Проблемой остается согласование положений иных законов с положениями нового Закона. Также на протяжении почти десяти лет с момента присоединения Украины к Конвенции о статусе беженцев не решена проблема приведения национального законодательства Украины в соответствие с ее положениями. Максимальное приближение национального законодательства в сфере беженцев к соответствующему законодательству Европейского Союза, по мнению автора, утруднено в связи с неодинаковым содержанием понятия убежища. В частности, положения Конституции Украины об убежище были позаимствованы из законодательства СССР о политических эмигрантах, что не согласовывается с общепринятым в международном праве понятием убежища. Для полной гармонизации законодательства Украины в сфере убежища с законодательством ЕС, по мнению автора, требуется внесение изменений в Конституцию Украины, в частности, исключения положений о предоставлении убежища Президентом. ; Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union ; Russian version of CARIM-East 2012/09

Вопрос борьбы с торговлей людьми является для Украины, как и для большинства стран постсоветского пространства, крайне актуальным. Как отмечается в Миграционном профиле Украины, созданном в 2011 году украинскими экспертами в сфере миграции по результатам проведенных исследований, а также с учетом статистических данных, предоставленных центральными органами государственной власти Украины и международными специалистами в сфере миграции, Украина, в первую очередь, является государством происхождения жертв торговли людьми.1 Украина также является страной транзита для иностранцев, ставших жертвами торговли людьми или незаконного ввоза, следующих в другие страны, преимущественно в Турцию или Объединенные Арабские Эмираты, из Молдовы, России, Киргизстана, Узбекистана. ; Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union ; Russian version of CARIM-East 2013/40
