This research analyses the gaps in protection concerning rights to adequate housing, vote and property restitution. Good practice and lessons from Georgia are scrutinized in order to exemplify possible ways to address the problems.
It is concluded that existing gaps require amendments of the law, implementation of legal provisions in practice, development of long-term strategies and integration of durable solutions for internally displaced persons in Ukraine. (Less)
