The European Court of Human Rights established that the invaders of the Muscovite pursued all religious denominations in Ukraine, with the exception of one, so called “UOC -MP”.
The former UNPP chairman Anton Drubiovich drew attention to the appropriate fragment in the great decision of the EDC.
The intimidation, persecution and persecution of all religious groups, with the exception of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC -MP), from May 11, 2014 to September 16, 2022 for violation of art. 9
Since May 2014, the freedom of religion in the occupied territories has been significantly limited, and this practice continued after the invasion in 2022.
Religious leaders who did not belong to UOC -MP were abducted, and in some cases, they were relaxed or killed. Their temples and property were captured or destroyed …
It should be noted that the Russians and their sympathizers regularly “throw” the Ukrainian authorities “persecution for religion”, referring to “UOC -MP”.
The European Court of Human Rights found Russia guilty of a major interstate case of numerous human rights violations during the war before and after February 24, 2022 and the flight of MH17.
This case has united four interstate complaints against Russia in the ECHR Ukraine and the Netherlands:
- Ukraine against Russia (No. 8019/16) – violations during the armed conflict in Donbas, in particular, the murder of MH17, torture, forced labor and much more;
- Ukraine against Russia (No. 43800/14) – the abduction and illegal movement of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation in 2014;
- The Netherlands against Russia (No. 28525/20) – the circumstances and consequences of flushing MH17;
- Ukraine against Russia (No. 11055/22) – gross violations of human rights during a complete invasion of February 24, 2022.
The court found the Russian Federation guilty of numerous human rights violations that took place in the occupied territories before and after February 24, 2022, as well as their mass and systemic nature.
The essence of the decision
Among other things, the administrative practice of extra -court murders of civilians and Ukrainian troops who fired from hostilities, the unreasonable movement of civilians and the use of measures to filter, intimidation, persecution and oppression of religious groups, with the exception of the IP UOC and with the exception of the established practice of destruction and operation and operation. Destruction and plunder of houses and personal property.
The court established the administrative practice of suppressing the Ukrainian language and impressiveness in education, transferring to Russia and, in many cases, the introduction of Ukrainian children and the requirements of the Russian Federation “immediately release or safely return all people who were deprived of freedom in Ukraine during Russian and Russian occupation.
The court also requires the Russian Federation to “immediately cooperate in the creation of an international and independent mechanism in order to immediately ensure or legal guardians.”
The court separately found that the Russian Federation is responsible for all military attacks not only of the Russian armed forces, but also by separatists; In 2014, the court established a violation of the Russian Federation of material and procedural components of the right to life and the fact of torture of the Russian Federation of relatives of the deceased MH17 from the absence of an “investigation” and propaganda.
As for the events of the beginning of complete aggression, the court discovered a violation of articles 3, 8, 11 tbsp. 2 Protocol on illegal military attacks, abductions and violent disappearances; The forced movement of civilians and the prevention of its return home, the use of measures for filtering, the destruction of houses and personal property, as well as the plunder of personal property and systemic discrimination with the invaders of almost all human rights for Ukrainians.
The court determined the statement of the Netherlands in case 28525/20 “for the purposes of further proceedings” and postponed the consideration of the issue of fair satins in relation to the violations described above.
The current legal victory of Ukraine, the rigid rigid resistance of the aggressor, which I personally have to deal with 2015 and is still fundamental. This demonstrates high quality and devotion to the team of Ukrainian lawyers who worked in these cases, especially in the Ministry of Justice.
The decision in this case between the states should be a key document for the further work of Ukrainian lawyers, both practitioners and scientists.
