UN Committee recognizes imposition of Russian citizenship on Crimean residents as a human rights violation - Lubinets
Kyiv • UNN
The UN Human Rights Committee has recognized that Russia's imposition of Russian citizenship on residents of occupied Crimea constitutes ethnic discrimination and a violation of human rights, including arbitrary detention of Ukrainians, their illegal transfer to Russia to serve their sentences, and the forced imposition of Russian citizenship.
The UN Human Rights Committee has recognized that the imposition of Russian citizenship on residents of the temporarily occupied Crimea is discrimination on the basis of nationality and violates human rights. This was reported by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets, UNN reports.
The imposition of Russian citizenship on residents of the temporarily occupied Crimea constitutes discrimination on the basis of nationality and violates human rights. This has been recognized by the UN Human Rights Committee. The Committee also found that Russia illegally transfers Ukrainian citizens from the Crimean peninsula to its territory to serve their sentences, which is also a violation of human rights
Details
He noted that the UN Committee considered individual complaints from three Ukrainian citizens. One of them was detained before the occupation of the peninsula and then convicted under Russian law. The other two were convicted before the occupation of Crimea, and their sentences were later changed based on the Russian Criminal Code. All three were imposed Russian citizenship and sent to serve their sentences in Russia.
The Ombudsman added that the UN Committee recognized that Russia had indeed violated human rights under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which it is a party.
In particular:
the detention of Ukrainian citizens by the Russian Federation is arbitrary, as they were convicted for actions committed before the Russian Federation extended its criminal legislation to Crimea.
the transfer of Ukrainian citizens to the Russian Federation to serve their sentences there was illegal;
The forced granting of Russian citizenship also violated the rights of Ukrainian citizens and constitutes discrimination on ethnic grounds.
The Committee considers that a person's nationality is an essential component of his or her identity and that protection against arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy includes protection against the forced imposition of a foreign nationality. The conclusion of the UN Human Rights Committee can be called historic without exaggeration. After all, a serious basis is being formed for further decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in similar Crimean cases
