In this article analyzes the rights of refugees or persons who need of additional protection regarding the sustainability of family ties and family reunification in cases of recognition of asylum seekers and their family members by refugees or persons who need of additional protection by the State Migration Service of Ukraine and courts. Suggestions are made to improve the protection of rights of asylum seekers and their family members to reunite families and ensure the sustainability of family ties.

The list and analysis of the main international and national normative legal acts in the sphere of securing the rights of asylum seekers and their family members for family reunification and ensuring the sustainability of family ties are presented.
The judicial practice on cases of claims of asylum seekers in Ukraine to the State Migration Service of Ukraine for recognition as illegal and the cancellation of decisions refusing to recognize them as refugees or persons who need of additional protection are analyzed. The main problems are the observance of the rights of asylum seekers regarding the sustainability of family ties and the reunification of their families in Ukraine.
In the article analyzes that the European Court of Human Rights has taken the position of prioritizing the sustainability of family ties and family reunification in cases of recognition of the asylum seeker and his or her family as refugees.
