Executive summary
A set of legal analyses is conducted in partnership with the Rule of Law Institute Foundation (FIPP). For 20 years FIPP has been providing legal assistance to refugees and migrants in Poland. Since the escalation of the war in Ukraine, FIPP has been helping displaced persons in need of legal and integration assistance in the Lublin region.Since 2022, FIPP has been cooperating with DRC in providing legal aid, legalization and integration assistance to war refugees from Ukraine. The DRC-FIPP partnership specifically aims at assessing the holistic picture of the legislative frameworks, deepening knowledge on various topics related to temporary protection and asylum, as well as tracking changes in primary and secondary legislation on matters relevant to the Ukrainian displaced population living in Poland.
Legal aid is a part of DRC protection services delivered in Poland. Responding to the increasing demand of Ukrainian refugees related to a wide spectrum of cross-border legal aid issues, DRC Legal Aid Program aims to ensure a coherent and effective provision of free legal aid to displaced persons across Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and other European countries, enabling informed decisions, access rights and services and pursue solutions.
Timely and high-quality legal information and assistance is provided through DRC Legal Aid Platform, a virtual interface where people have access to legal information in relevant languages (Ukrainian, Polish and English) and can get in contact with required legal aid services, with the support of DRC Ukraine Legal Aid department.
