Abstract

The aim of the research was to reveal the legal regulation of the status of internally displaced persons in  Ukraine in terms of theoretical and administrative aspects. A positive step towards realization of the rights and guarantees of forced migrants consists in the introduction by the Government of Ukraine of the following areas of assistance: monetary assistance, promotion of their employment, introduction of compensation for the costs of payment of communal services for families who have taken in displaced persons free of charge. It has been established that such a public initiative as «Prykhystok» («Shelter») plays an extremely important role in exercising the rights and guarantees of forced migrants. The following methods were used in the research: analysis of biographical sources, synthesis, deduction, comparative analysis and meta-analysis, etc. Conclusions: it has been shown that programs such as «Prykhystok» are a positive step towards proper implementation of the rights and guarantees of IDPs, but at the moment they are not working properly. Even fulfilling all the conditions, many forced migrants have not yet received their funds, they have been denied their certificates and most employers do not want to hire people belonging to this category.
