System of accounting for non-property damage from war to be launched in Ukraine: details
21 November 16:02
Ukraine is introducing a system of accounting for non-property damage to Ukrainians as a result of the war. This was reported by Komersant ukrainskyi with reference to the Ministry of Social Policy.
This became possible due to the fact that MPs adopted the draft law “On Accounting for Information on Damage Caused to the Personal Non-Property Rights of Individuals as a Result of the Armed Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
It introduces a system of accounting for non-property damage, an important tool for recording cases of loss of life, health, family, forced displacement, or deprivation of access to education and medicine due to the war. It also regulates the creation and operation of the Register of Data on Children Deported or Forcibly Displaced as a Result of Russia’s Armed Aggression against Ukraine.
Main areas of work of the Harm Information Accounting System:
- registration of people whose lives and health were harmed as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine;
- collection and consolidation of information on the affected citizens and further assistance to them in verifying the data on the damage caused;
- accounting of expenditures of state and local budgets, budgets of social funds related to the provision of assistance and support to citizens affected by the war.
The key principle of the changes is to ensure exchanges between various state registers and databases to facilitate information collection and minimize the bureaucratic burden on the affected person. This will allow the damage to be recorded as quickly as possible. In the future, it is also planned to introduce the possibility for a person to report the damage caused to them through Diia and ASCs. In the future, every affected person will be able to receive a complete dossier on the damage and the types of support available to them through a single window.
The system for recording information on damage is only the first tool for building an effective support system for citizens whose personal non-property rights have been damaged. The next step will be the development and adoption of a comprehensive law on measures to support victims, which the Ministry of Social Policy has already begun drafting. The implementation of the Accounting System will then allow for the construction of an effective victim support system.
