Compensation for war-related moral damage: Ukrainian and international practice

This paper presents our analysis of the practice of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in Ukrainian law, as well as the UN Compensation Commission and the European Court of Human Rights.

The peculiarity of non-pecuniary damage is that it cannot be calculated precisely. Therefore, we have investigated who can claim compensation for moral damages, what emotional and psychological experience is recognized as legally compensable, and what the amount of such compensation can be paid.
