European Court declares IDP's application admissible
The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has declared admissible an application lodged by an internally displaced person (IDP) from Chechnya living on the territory of Stavropol Region. The regional migration service deprived him of official IDP status a year ago, when he submitted an application to be entered in a composite list of IDPS who needed accommodation.
Almost 80 thousand IDPs have been registered in Stavropol Region since July 1992. As of today, altogether 7,145 people have official status, which gives them a right to get government support.
