Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status.

The Abduction of Ukrainian Children in Light of Russian Demographics • desk russie

The number of Ukrainian children abducted or forcibly Russified by Russia since 2014 could amount to over 1.5 million—an absolutely monstrous number. This is genocide.

Ukraine Denying Right to Conscience Objection Despite International Commitments

I'm reaching out to the international community for help and awareness regarding the denial of conscience objection rights in Ukraine. Despite Ukraine's commitment to international human rights agreements, the government is currently refusing to recognize this fundamental right.

Key points:

  1. Ukraine signed the 1976 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
  2. Articles 18 (ICCPR) and 9 (ECHR) guarantee the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, which includes conscience objection.
  3. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has recognized that conscience objection can be based on pacifist views.
  4. Ukraine signed a law in 2006 recognizing ECtHR resolutions as a source of law.
  5. Despite these commitments, Ukraine is not respecting conscience objection rights:
    • The government is ignoring existing alternative service laws.
    • Recently, a court sentenced a Jehovah's Witness to 3 years in prison for conscience objection.
    • As a member of pacifist organizations in Ukraine, I'm concerned about my own rights and those of others.

We need international attention and pressure from human rights defenders to urge Ukraine to fulfill its legal obligations and respect the rights of conscientious objectors.

How you can help:

  • Share this information to raise awareness
  • Contact international human rights organizations
  • Reach out to your government representatives to address this issue with Ukrainian authorities

Let's work together to ensure that Ukraine respects its international commitments and the fundamental rights of its citizens. Your support can make a difference in protecting freedom of conscience in Ukraine.
