Dear Colleagues,
This Joint Report on Violations of Personal Autonomy Human Rights in
Ukraine
[
https://www.academia.edu/34216513/ ] about oppression of personal
autonomy, neglect of human rights in Ukraine is prepared by Autonomous Advocacy, Ukrainian Council of Freethinkers and Believers, and
Institute of Open Religion in March 2017 for Joint Submission to the
Universal Periodic Review of Ukraine (Third Cycle, 28th session 2017)
in United Nations Human Rights Council, and amended in July 2017 due
to swift degradation of situation with human rights in Ukraine.
Key problems revealed are: war, poverty, impunity of the most crimes
against person, poor implementation of human rights in judicial
practice, economic barriers in access to justice, authoritarian
practices harmful for national, cultural, religious and dissenting
minorities, oppression of free speech, violations of privacy and
property rights by state policies, predatory monopolism and elitism.
Key propositions are: to amend Constitution of Ukraine, recognizing
universal unalienable nature and autonomous meaning of human rights;
to reduce court fees in typical cases of human rights violation,
especially by officials and law enforcers; allow lawyers to develop
pluralism of legal opinions and create alternative independent bar
associations without coercive membership in Ukrainian National Bar
Association; stop blocking social networks; stop force people and
media to use Ukrainian language by violence; stop dictate religious organizations how to worship and manage, comply obligations, noted in
§§ 86-91 of judgment of European Court of Human Rights in the case of Svyato-Mykhaylivska Parafiya v. Ukraine (No. 77703/01 by 14 June
2007); stop involve people to aggressive war, don't discriminate
pacifists, comply obligations, noted in UN Human Rights Committee
Resolution No. CCPR/C/UKR/CO/7 by 22 August 2013, especially stop
violence against minorities and dissenters, provide right to
conscientious objection on non-discriminative basis; stop censorship
of online petitions; allow people to participate in inclusive public
dialogue.
Sincerely yours,
