HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The UWC Human Rights Commission works systematically to inform the international community and raise its awareness of the human rights abuses in Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. It also closely monitors the general human rights situation of Ukrainians in their countries of residence and leads the UWC international advocacy efforts to protect their human and collective rights. The Commission members work with governments, civil society, international organizations and a broad range of partner organizations in Ukraine to achieve the Commission’s primary goals, namely to counter gross violations of human rights of Ukrainian citizens in the occupied Crimea, occupied Donbas and within the Russian Federation.
