Human rights in Ukraine – 2006. FROM THE EDITORS

07.09.2007   

This report focuses on the human rights situation in Ukraine in 2006 and the first five months of 2007. It contains a “Civic Assessment of government policy in the area of human rights” and an in-depth analysis of specific aspects of the human rights situation during the period in question. The scope of both of the above has been considerably expanded since the previous years’ reports. Sometimes this broadening resulted in entirely new sections, for example, on the work of the Human Rights Ombudsperson; domestic violence; human trafficking; labour rights; the right to education; the right to health care, and a special section on the environmental and human consequences of the Chernobyl Disaster.

The Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union and the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group would like to gratefully acknowledge the enormous help offered us in creating this Human Rights Organizations Report.  First and foremost we wish to thank:
