On Friday, 24 March, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) will release two new reports, on the treatment of prisoners of war and on the overall human rights situation in Ukraine.
Background: Deployed in March 2014, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine monitors, publicly reports on and advocates for the human rights situation in the country with the aim of fostering access to justice and bringing perpetrators to account. In the aftermath of the armed attack by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the Mission has been fully dedicated to monitoring how the attack has impacted the human rights situation in the country. HRMMU has relocated some of its operations due to the hostilities and is now present in Kyiv, Uzhhorod, Odesa, Dnipro and Poltava, as well as in Kraków and Chișinău, and conducts regular visits to other cities. The Mission continues to remotely monitor the human rights situation in Crimea. Every day, human rights officers speak to victims and witnesses of human rights violations throughout the country, including those in territory occupied by the Russian Federation.
