The United Nations (UN) has urged Ukraine to take action to address human rights abuses in the country. The call comes after a recent report by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) which documented a range of violations, including torture, arbitrary detention, and ill-treatment of detainees.
The report, which was released in April 2021, found that the Ukrainian government had failed to take adequate steps to address the human rights violations. It noted that the government had not taken sufficient measures to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the abuses, and that the victims had not been provided with adequate reparations.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, has called on the Ukrainian government to take immediate action to address the human rights violations. She urged the government to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the abuses, and to provide reparations to the victims.
Bachelet also called on the government to ensure that all detainees are treated in accordance with international human rights standards, and to ensure that all detainees have access to legal representation. She also urged the government to ensure that all detainees are held in humane conditions, and that they are not subjected to torture or ill-treatment.
The UN has also called on the Ukrainian government to ensure that all human rights defenders are able to carry out their work without fear of reprisal. The UN has also urged the government to ensure that all journalists are able to report freely and without fear of reprisal.
