Synopsis (short abstract) The integrated structure of land law is defined in the Constitution of Ukraine of 1996, which describes the nation's land as the "object of ownership of the Ukrainian people" and as the "national wealth." These principles set a higher-level framework under which there are placed subordinate principles of the state, citizens and juridical persons as owners and users of tracts and parcels of land. The state is given the power to "exercise" the rights of the people as owners of the nation's land, and citizens are each guaranteed the right to make use of land and resources, sufficient to satisfy their needs.
