The document proposes to deprive state awards of persons who popularize or promote the aggressor state and its authorities, representatives of the authorities of the aggressor state and their actions that create a positive image of the aggressor state, justify or recognize the legitimate occupation of the territory of Ukraine.
According to the current legislation, it is currently possible to deprive a state award only if the awardee is convicted of a serious crime.
The document proposes that the deprivation of state awards can occur not only by a guilty verdict of the court, but also on the basis of a decision of the NSDC on the application of special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions), put into effect by a presidential decree.
“A person deprived of state awards loses the right to all rights and privileges provided for persons awarded state awards of Ukraine. State awards and relevant award documents that belonged to a person deprived of state awards are subject to return within 30 days to a continuously operating auxiliary body , formed by the President of Ukraine,” the document states.
Many associates of the fugitive President Yanukovych, as well as politicians from banned pro-Russian parties, still have state awards.
