Economic and legal dimension of humanitarian demining of Ukraine: problem and research prospects

Keywords: humanitarian demining, mine action, explosive objects, restoration, de-occupied territories, spatial development.

Abstract

In recent years, issues related to humanitarian demining of the affected territories in Ukraine have become increasingly urgent. In this context, the economic and legal aspects of humanitarian demining are of particular importance as they affect the possibility of rapid restoration of economic and other peaceful use of de-occupied territories. The authors focused on identifying the problems and highlighting the research prospects of the economic and legal dimension of humanitarian demining. It is considered in this study as the first stage of the comprehensive restoration of the Ukrainian territories. The present paper proves the importance of forming economic and legal tools that will contribute to the development of conceptual approaches as well as scientific and practical proposals to ensure humanitarian demining in Ukrainian realities.
