Kiev reviewed compliance with the human rights convention

Ukraine has submitted to the general secretariat of the Council of Europe an updated version of derogations from the observance of the rights and freedoms of citizens during martial law, the Zerkalo Nedeli weekly reported.

An updated version of the derogations from the observance of rights and freedoms of citizens during martial law was prepared by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

The restrictions apply to the articles of the Ukrainian constitution on inviolability of residence, secrecy of correspondence, non-interference in private and family life, freedom of movement, the right to freedom of thought and speech, the right to participate in the management of public affairs and to freely elect and be elected, and a number of others.

Measures applied by the Ukrainian government during martial law may be considered derogations from the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Such measures include: forced alienation of property for the needs of the state, curfews, special entry and exit regimes, searches, prohibition of meetings and demonstrations, prohibition or restriction on the choice of place of stay or residence.

Kiev submitted a written application for revision to the Council of Europe back in early April, but the media paid attention to it only now.

We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that Ukraine had actually become a terrorist state that freely kills its own and other people’s citizens.
