Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine

The purpose of this project is to monitor the impact of the on-going armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine on the protection of human rights. Reporting by the Human Rights Monitoring Mission contributes to the prevention of and accountability for human rights violations and abuses by all parties to the conflict. Project activities include: (1) monitoring and reporting on the human rights situation in Ukraine with particular focus on conflict affected areas and Crimea; (2) supporting national counterparts in monitoring reporting and advocacy as well as assisting victims to obtain legal redress; and (3) providing advice on United Nations human rights and gender-sensitive protection recommendations including those on gender equality and mainstreaming in their programming planning and advocacy.

The project will result in the improved protection of human rights in the conflict-affected regions of Eastern Ukraine.
