Ukraine has welcomed the adoption by the United Nations Human Rights
Council (UNHRC) on July 3, 2015 of the resolution "Cooperation and
assistance to Ukraine in the field of human rights."
"From now the most authoritative international institute in the
field of human rights on a regular basis will hear the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights regarding the findings of each of the periodic reports of the UN
Human Rights Monitoring Mission on the situation of human rights in Ukraine,
particularly in the temporarily occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic
of Crimea, Sevastopol, in Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine," reads
the report by the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
The ministry noted that "by approving the resolution, the UNHRC has
once again confirmed the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial
integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders."
As stated in the commentary, the resolution initiated by Ukraine,
despite the apparent resistance of Russia, has been adopted.
"Russia voted against [the document], it obviously does not want
all the countries in the world to hear the truth about the systematic and mass
character of human rights and freedoms violations in the occupied territories
of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Donbas, about the gray area of
arbitrariness and impunity created by Russia," reads the report.
