| Video Discription | The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights presented to the Human Rights Council the findings of the latest OHCHR report on the situation of human rights in Ukraine, covering the period of the 1st August to the 30th of November. “Peace is not a word that I hear very often these days. The situation in Ukraine has been added to a litany of continuous suffering, and the world’s attention seems jaded by the multiple crises that we face. I feel for the Ukrainians, who have a right to peace, and who deserve peace, in line with the UN Charter and international law. Instead, I fear that protracted and entrenched conflict will impact lives and human rights for generations to come,” Türk said. It has been 662 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The UN Human Rights office continues to undertake extensive monitoring and documentation by our Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), based on the tried and tested methodology we have developed over decades. “This documentation continues to indicate gross violations of international human rights law, serious violations of international humanitarian law, and war crimes, primarily by the forces of the Russian Federation,” Türk said. “They include 142 cases of summary execution of civilians since February 2022, in territory controlled by Russian armed forces or occupied by the Russian Federation. On occupied territory, we have documented widespread torture and ill-treatment of detainees, including sexual violence, as well as large numbers of enforced disappearances,” he said. “In addition, there has been extensive failure by the Russian Federation to take adequate measures to protect civilians and protected civilian objects against the effects of their attacks,” he said. “As of 4 December, my Office has recorded and confirmed over 10,000 civilian deaths resulting from the conflict since February 2022, including more than 560 children. A further 18,500 civilians have been confirmed injured, many of them severely. The true toll is probably substantially higher,” he said. The UN Human Rights office also has no access to Ukrainian prisoners of war who have been interned in territories occupied by the Russian Federation. Many families have received no communication from them, creating deep worry about their fate. Russia has also retained Ukrainian military medical personnel, contrary to international humanitarian law. The Office is analyzing six new reported cases of Russian soldiers killing civilians in occupied territory. The Russian authorities announced the arrest of two Russian soldiers in connection with the killing of a family of nine, including two children, in Volnovakha, in Donetsk oblast. There are also indications that an investigation has been opened into a second case that we have verified, in which a couple was killed in Maly Kopani, Kherson oblast. Under international law, the report states that the occupying power must maintain the status quo, to the extent possible. However, the UN Human Rights Office has continued to document actions by the Russian Federation to impose its laws, as well as legal, political, and administrative structures in areas it has occupied and purported to annex, in violation of international law – even conscripting Ukrainian men to serve in the Russian military against their people. In the reporting period, Ukrainian authorities have continued to prosecute and convict individuals from areas that are or have been under Russian occupation. As of 30 November, some 8,600 criminal charges have been made about collaboration activities or similar charges, with courts ordering, in most cases, that the accused remain in custody pending trial. Verdicts have been handed down in 941 cases. “In the view of my Office, many of these individuals were convicted for conduct that could be lawful – including, for example, work to ensure the continued functioning of social services and schools in occupied areas. I urge the Ukrainian authorities to narrow its definition of “collaboration,” to avoid any conflict with activity that is lawful under international humanitarian law,” he said. “I also continue to be deeply concerned about potential safety threats at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – one of the largest nuclear facilities in Europe – which continues to be occupied by Russian forces. The continued use of heavy weapons near the site, and fears about mismanagement of its complex systems, could result in catastrophic harm to human rights,” Türk stated. In conclusion, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that there is only one solution to this tragic and far-reaching conflict: cessation by the Russian Federation of its violence against Ukraine, and a just peace, in line with the United Nations Charter and international law. uVng7dllHSY |
