Differences between diplomatic protection and consular assistance.
Анотація
According to the state official statistics, more than 5 million Ukrainian citizens legally live abroad on the permanent bases. In addition, according to the International Labour Organization, approximately 700,000 of the Ukrainians migrate for temporary work. Furthermore, about 24 million nationals visit foreign countries as tourists each year. This means that a great amount of the Ukrainians crosses the state borders with various purposes and stay in foreign countries during some period. Being abroad they retain all rights provided by the Constitution, laws of Ukraine, and international conventions. At the same time possibility of rights violation is high and the citizens will need their state advocacy. It is a legal axiom that the right without protection is useless. So, diplomatic protection of citizens’ rights abroad and consular assistance is a matter of the highest importance.Посилання
