Today, Ukraine needs to develop a comprehensive state policy on the future de-occupation and reintegration of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
It is worth highlighting the relevance of formulating a state policy on the following issues:
1) protection of human rights;
2) legal status of the Crimean Tatar people.
Recognizing this need, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, V.M. Koretsky Institute of State and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People and the Foundation for Institutional Development of Ukrainian Science jointly held an expert discussion "Autonomous Republic of Crimea: Legal Framework for De-occupation, Reintegration and Human Rights Protection" on February 10. The expert discussion brought together very different groups of interested parties in the Crimean issue: representatives of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Crimean human rights organizations, scholars, members of the Ukrainian Parliament, and public figures.
The expert discussion allowed to formulate new approaches to:
1. Future processes of de-occupation and reintegration of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea;
2. Protection of the rights of victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Russian occupation administration in the occupied ARC;
3. New approaches to the legislative definition of the legal status of the Crimean Tatar people in Ukraine;
4. Some vectors of modernization of the constitutional and legal status of the ARC.
