THE PROBLEM OF STATELESSNESS IN UKRAINE AND THE WAYS OF ADDRESSING IT of statelessness that would allow stateless persons to confirm their status, to regularize their stay with documents and to obtain access to the rights and freedoms guaranteed by Ukraine’s laws and international treaties. A mandatory stage in overcoming the problem of statelessness in Ukraine consists of information workshops and trainings both for the staff of the bodies directly working with stateless persons and for stateless persons themselves to overcome a legal limbo among these groups in Ukraine and to explain the procedures of access to Ukrainian citizenship.. A key role in this process should be assigned to non-governmental organizations that have invaluable experience of work with the above-mentioned population categories. A specific task should include establishing cooperation between the non-governmental sector and the public authorities to identity common goals and divide strategy implementation roles. It is the level of understanding between UNHCR, non-governmental and governmental sectors that will greatly determine success of the entire campaign. 43
