ANNUAL REPORTOF UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Failure to provide sanatorium and resort vouchers to military veterans and veterans of the National Police of
Ukraine, as well as veterans of other units of the security and defence sector who received pensions not under
Law 2262, but in accordance with other laws of Ukraine
Analysis of appeals of military service veterans who receive a pension not under Law 2262, but under
other laws, gives grounds to allege systematic violations of the rights of this group of veterans to
rehabilitation and recreation.
The Procedure for providing sanatorium and resort vouchers to military personnel, war veterans, military
service veterans, police veterans and certain other categories of persons and members of their families
(approved by Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution 446 of 27 September 2011) sets forth that public
authorities only provide vouchers for sanatoriums to persons covered by Law of Ukraine 203/98-ВР “On
Status of Veterans of Military Service, Veterans of Internal Affairs, Veterans of the Nation Police of Ukraine
and Certain Other Persons and Their Social Protection” of 25 March 1998, and who receive pension in
accordance with Law of Ukraine 2262-XII “On Pensions to Persons Released from Military Service and
Certain Other Persons” of 9 April 1992. At the same time, this Procedure does not regulate provision of
vouchers to veterans of military service, who receive pensions under other laws.
The Ministry of Defence, with the support of the Commissioner, has developed a draft resolution of the
Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which should eliminate this problem.
CHAPTER 4

Protection” of 25 March 1998 who receive pensions in accordance with Law of Ukraine 2262-XII “On
