Social protection of economic and legal rights of emigrants in the context of reforming veterinary legislation of Ukraine and preservation of human capital under conditions of war and digitalization

The authors have proven that the right to work, which is the basic
international standard in the countries of the European Union, Great Britain
and Canada, is one of the priority provisions for Ukrainian emigrants under
conditions of war today. The analysis of international legal acts,
international programs of assistance to Ukrainian labour resources, allows us
to conclude that the countries of the European Union and Great Britain
ensured not only the right to work, but also the social protection of the
Ukrainian people. In its turn, Canada, providing the right to work,
encourages Ukrainian emigrants to form decent social conditions in the
country. We proved that Ukraine today suffers not only because of the war,
but also because of the migration crisis of the Ukrainian working population
in the field of veterinary medicine.
The article revealed that according to the Article 3.2.5. of the
Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Health Organization, only
the Self-governing Body carried the legal responsibility and acts on the
basis of legislative acts. The authors proposed the draft of the Law
of Ukraine “On Professional Activity of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
and Self-governing Body (Veterinary Parliament)” as one of the ways
to preserve the human capital of a doctor of veterinary medicine. Implementation of this Law on practice is necessary and timely, because:
1) veterinary medicine doctors will be united into the single body, which is
interested in increasing the prestige of the profession; 2) there will be the
reduction in the percentage of conflict of interests (the state provides
services and the state controls the performance of these services) due to the
transfer of state veterinary doctors to the private segment; 3) the state will
delegate services to the self-governing body for the organization of
preventive measures and measures to eliminate infectious and parasitic
diseases of animals, zoonosis; 4) there will be control of “Lifelong
learning” by deprivation of permission or suspension of the permit to carry
out veterinary practice.
