This report focuses on the human rights situation in Ukraine in 2009-2010. 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.
