ANNUAL REPORTOF UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS 92 Ukraine created artificial barriers to the payment of compensation for real property to military personnel who ended their service. Insufficient funding to assist with the rehabilitation of personnel, to resolve their social and household issues and creation of the obstacles to receive these payments is a common problem of all military detachments. Example The Commissioner received a complaint from V., a former member of the Sumy Border Detachment, who alleged that the command structure of his detachment had not allocated financial support for the personnel. After the Commissioner sent an instruction, this violation was resolved. Example The Commissioner was approached by the wife of armed forces personnel member K., who stated that her husband had not been provided with rehabilitation assistance, although he had submitted a request for this type of this monetary support several months earlier. The payment was made following the intervention of the Commissioner,. CHAPTER 4 Restrictions on the right of military personnel to receive additional paid leave during a special period The Commissioner receives appeals regarding military personnel who are participants in combat operations who have not been granted additional paid leave to study or meet their spouses, or the leave provided for in law for personnel who have two or more children or a child with a disability. This violates Law of Ukraine 2011-XII “On the Social and Legal Protection of Military Personnel and Members of Their Families” of 20 December 1991, which established their right to study leave and parental leave. The Commissioner has made numerous requests to public authorities to develop relevant amendments to the legislation to renew this right. It was also considered by the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court33, and is to be settled through adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the draft Law of Ukraine “On Social and Legal Protection of Military Servants and Members of Their Families” (registered as no. 2343 of 29 October 2019). Violation of the right of military personnel to be provided with housing Despite long waiting lists, in some military garrisons housing has not been built for personnel for a long time. The amount of compensation set by the Government for renting military housing is lower than the actual cost of such housing. Because of insufficient funding from the budget, this payment cannot be provided to everyone who needs it. As a result, military units’ command strcutures create artificial obstacles to military personnel receiving this support. 33 www.reyestr.court.gov.ua/Review/84153019
