On 20 August, the Верховна Рада України supported the draft law on the legal status of foreigners and stateless persons fighting for #Ukraine. According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Ukrainian MP Iryna Herashchenko. "315 MPs supported the draft law on the legal status of foreigners and stateless persons participating in the defence of the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine #9585," Herashchenko said. The law proposes:  ◾ Allow foreigners and stateless persons who are defending Ukraine to obtain temporary residence permits or immigrate, even if their documents are overdue.  Grant family members of the military the right to temporary residence.  ◾ Require citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus who have become Ukrainians to submit documents renouncing their foreign citizenship within a year of the lifting of martial law.  ◾ Allow new Ukrainian citizens to fulfil their obligation to pass exams within two years of the lifting of martial law.  ◾ Suspend consideration of applications for citizenship from Russian citizens until one year after the cancellation of martial law (with some exceptions). Earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved a number of resolutions that allow foreign volunteers fighting against Russia to obtain Ukrainian citizenship if they wish, including their family members.  https://lnkd.in/gQdiNTwP

The Ukrainian parliament recently passed a law allowing foreign citizens defending Ukraine’s territorial integrity to obtain temporary residence permits, #immigration permits, and Ukrainian citizenship. The law, effective from 24 November 2024, provides a simplified path to #citizenship for those serving in the defence forces of Ukraine, as well as their families. Consideration of applications from russian citizens will resume one year after martial law is terminated, with exceptions for those with significant merits to #Ukraine or serving its national interest.

The Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures) Bill 2024 is deeply concerning. One aspect that we want to highlight is the implications for the higher education sector - reducing international student enrolment, not allowing students from certain countries to study in Australia, limiting international collaboration and research, and significantly impacting the perception of Australia as a place to study and undertake research. The implications are huge. The Human Rights Law Centre provide a great explainer here - https://lnkd.in/gfd9NrpW. And below is a list of ways to take action.

I'm happy to see the European Parliament's recent resolution on the critical situation in Cuba, calling for the immediate lifting of the US economic, trade, and financial blockade. The blockade has caused immense suffering for the Cuban people, hindering their development and access to vital medicines and medical equipment. It's time for the EU to stand in solidarity with Cuba and reject any attempts to exploit their difficult economic situation for foreign interests. #LevantarElBloqueo #BloqueoNo #CubaNoEstáSola #SolidaridadConCuba #PorLaPazEnCuba #LiftTheBlockade #CubaDeservesBetter #EndTheBlockade #SolidarityWithCuba #CubaIsNotAlone
