Since 2014, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center has been collecting and documenting human rights violations in the occupied Crimea, and since the beginning of the full-scale Russian war in Ukraine, we have continued this activity in the new occupied territories.
We not only record human rights violations, but also systematically inform the international community about the crimes of the Russian Federation in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
Over the entire period of their work, our experts submitted 108 applications, complaints, reports to international human rights organizations and their structures:
— ECHR (25 applications);
— UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples (7 documents);
— EMRIP (7 documents);
— UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (8 documents);
— UN special procedures (22 documents);
— UN Human Rights Committee (2 statements);
— UN Committee on Women’s Rights (4 documents);
— Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2 reports);
— European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (7 complaints);
— HDIM, OSCE (22 reports);
— other OSCE bodies (2 documents).
The CTRC team systematically makes presentations at various international and Ukrainian platforms, and also reports quarterly on the situation with human rights violations in occupied Crimea.
Very soon we will present an Analysis of human rights violations in the occupied Crimea and the newly occupied territories of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions for 2023.
