human rights situation

The report of the UN Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on the human rights situation in Ukraine covering 1 September to 30 November 2024 expressed continuing concern in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine. “Russian authorities continued to restrict the exercise of freedom of religion or belief in violation of their obligations under IHL [International humanitarian law] and IHRL [international human rights law],” the report, published on 31 December 2024, noted. “‘Anti-extremist’ legislation was used as a tool for targeting members of certain religious communities.” The OHCHR report noted continued criminal prosecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Crimea “based on the designation of their religious community as an ‘extremist’ organization in the Russian Federation”. สล็อต เว็บตรง
