Reconstruction and Restitution: A Fundamental Stabilization Issue with Ukraine as Case Study

With over 14 million people now displaced from their housing, land, and property (HLP) in Ukraine there is considerable concern about the reconstruction and restitution process. This is particularly significant in Ukraine given that destruction of HLP appears a purposeful effort on the part of Russian forces. The Ukrainian Prime Minister emphasized the importance of reconstruction and restitution planning before the war is over. As early as July 2022, Ukraine and Western countries began discussion about frozen Russian assets use as part of this effort.120 With such early planning, Ukraine may become a model for rapid and transparent post-war reconstruction. As a case study, Ukraine provides an overview of some of the challenges and opportunities of a forward-focused robust HLP mass claims process for restitution and compensation.
