| Title | Combating Legal and Structural Challenges in Trafficking in Human Beings Victims' Redress Seeking in Ukraine: Developing a State Compensation Mechanism |
| Summary | Victims of intentional violent crimes, such as trafficking in human beings, usually appear at risk of redress unavailability due to the offender’s non-identification or insolvency. The duty of providing the compensatory relief is therefore transferred to the state, which embodies public sympathy for victims and executes the remedial function through the state compensation mechanisms. Since Ukraine lacks an operating public redress mechanism for trafficking and other violent crimes victims beyond the one-off financial assistance, this work explores the background criteria to be considered for establishing such a mechanism. By previously outlining the necessity of the state’s involvement in the matter through the lens of the social solidarity philosophy, this capstone thesis analyses the current Ukrainian legal framework and prior legislative attempts in the light of the European Union’s ‘fair and appropriate’ compensation concept and two practical examples of the state compensation mechanisms in Romania and the Netherlands. Finally, this project provides a list of policy recommendations based on the deliverables of the comparative case study to shape the future development of the Ukrainian state redress scheme. |
