President Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed bill No. 10313, which provides for the cancellation of the “limited suitability” status. Persons who previously had this status must re-pass the military medical board within 9 months.
As told in the comment 24 Kanala Oleksandr Zolotukhin, a lawyer in matters of the army and military service. The Verkhovna Rada canceled the status of “limited fitness” and left only “fit” or “unfit” for military service. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has its own internal order number 402, which contains a list of diseases according to which conscripts are classified as “fit”, “limited fit” and “unfit”.
“Until the Ministry of Defense changes this order, there will be no requalification of the “limitedly fit” persons. After all, there is no document that can be referred to in order to qualify a person as “fit” or “unfit”, – noted the lawyer
The Ministry of Defense has to determine what status to give to people who have a certain diagnosis and were previously “limited fit”. Only after the adoption of the internal order, which will be fundamental for the VLK, conscripts who were previously recognized as of limited fitness will be able to undergo a commission to determine fitness for military service.
The lawyer also noted that the conditions of service should be defined for men who had the status of “limited fitness” during the war. Specific conditions must be created for them, because the person has serious health problems.
Most likely, we will not have to wait for an order from the Ministry of Defense for a long time, since there is a nine-month period during which persons who were previously “limited fit” must undergo a military medical examination again. It starts from the moment when the law enters into force.
Also, the Ministry of Defense, in addition to developing an internal order, must also register it with the Ministry of Justice. The order must undergo a legal assessment to see if it is legal and complies with domestic national law and ensures respect for human rights.
Together with the requalification of the “limitedly fit” this bill included changes regarding the Unified State Register of Conscripts. This register will communicate with a number of other registers, in particular, the demographic register, the register of court decisions, the register of the Ministry of Justice regarding acts of civil status and other registers.
“Basic information about the conscript can be obtained from the Unified State Register of Conscripts. Consent for the processing of personal data of the conscript is not required. The Ministry will have access to most of the information about the person that is needed to fill out the so-called military file,” the lawyer added.
A limited number of people have access to such a register. They are responsible for the facts in it, since all information contained in such a file is confidential.
