The basis of sources are regulations, including the Law of Ukraine «On the rights and freedom of citizens and legal regime in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine», the Law of Ukraine «On protection of rights and freedom of internally displaced persons». Research of practical aspects of migration policy is reflected in the works of home scientists. Central to the process of ensuring the rights of any category of persons is to define the legal status of this category.

Originality. The article suggests some ways to improve the situation of internally displaced persons. The main are: when building a system of  IDPs assistance, one should consider and study the experience of foreign countries; to harmonize the regulatory framework and agree the provisions of the Law "On the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons" with the standards of the Cabinet of Ukraine; adopt appropriate laws and regulations that will implement the rights of internally displaced persons, particularly in housing; creation of a separate Ministry or department coordination, which would have guardians, protect the rights and freedoms of citizens who remained in temporarily occupied and annexed territory.

Conclusions. Over the years of internally displaced persons’ existing on the territory of Ukraine, there is certainly a positive trend in ensuring their rights. In particular, there appeared appropriate legal regulation, work of state agencies and local governments in this area were organized, database appeared state funds for support to internally displaced persons. At the same time, a number of issues remain unsolved, regulations are imperfect, and have contradictions and gaps. Overcoming the negative effects of positive potential and the realization of forced internal migration requires concentration of national resources and international donor assistance.
