With the Rada expected to renew the ban on the sale of farm land in December, Ganna Yudkivska, Ukraine’s judge of the European Court of Human Rights, urges the government to extend property rights to Ukraine’s seven million rural residents who own land, but cannot sell it. Last May the Court determined that Ukraine’s ban on the purchase and sale of farm land violates the European Convention on Human Rights and ordered Ukraine to lift this moratorium. “The state should do something for seven million of its citizens in order to prevent further violation of their property rights,” Yudkivska tells European Pravda news site.
