Common Issues of Compensation Mechanisms and the National and International Regulatory Sources on the Compensation

Chapter 7 explores the intricate landscape of compensation mechanisms
following the Russian military aggression against Ukraine declared on February
24, 2022. At the national level, legislative initiatives such as the draft law “On
compensation for damage and destruction” and Cabinet of Ministers’ Resolution
No. 326 outline procedures for compensation application and damage assessment.
However, international support is essential for implementation due to resource
constraints. Internationally, Decree No. 346/2022 forms a working group to develop
proposals aligned with international legal frameworks, including the creation of an
international claims commission. Drawing insights from past conflicts, such as the
Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, bilateral negotiations remain crucial, although
Russia’s reluctance poses challenges. In conclusion, the chapter underscores the
urgent need for comprehensive legislative frameworks and international cooperation
to address the multifaceted challenges of compensation in the aftermath of conflict. It calls for concerted efforts to ensure equitable and timely restitution for victims,
laying the groundwork for long-term recovery and reconciliation.
