Refugees, Resources, Security, and Beyond

Legal and Broader Impacts of the War in Ukraine on Hungary and Poland

The eligibility and rights granted under the Directive

The mechanism established by the Directive applies to mass influx of ‘displaced persons’. This category is defined by the Directive, which provides a general framework for eligibility conditions (general eligibility criteria). According to this definition,1 eligible persons include third-country nationals or stateless persons who have been forced to leave their country or region of origin, or have been evacuated, particularly in response to an appeal by international organisations. Such individuals are unable to return in safe and durable conditions due to the prevailing situation in their country. Refugees within the meaning of the 1951 Refugee Convention2 or under other international or national instruments providing international protection are eligible, particularly those who have fled areas of armed conflict or endemic violence, or those at serious risk of, or who have been victims of, systematic or generalised violations of their human rights. Thus, while the Directive potentially defines the scope of eligible persons very broadly, the actual scope has been specified by the decision activating the temporary protection (specific eligibility criteria).

This volume examines the multifaceted consequences of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with a focus on Hungary and Poland. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of legal, social, and political responses to the war, highlighting the refugee crisis, resource challenges, and security implications. Divided into two parts, the book first addresses the unprecedented displacement caused by the war, analysing refugee protection frameworks, humanitarian assistance, and legal solutions in Hungary and Poland, alongside the specific needs of vulnerable groups. The second part expands the scope to consider broader impacts, including technological and cultural dimensions, energy security, and public discourse in the region. By bringing together contributions from Polish and Hungarian scholars, this volume provides a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the far-reaching effects of the war, offering critical insights into the legal and socio-political transformations shaping Central and Eastern Europe.
