and interim report of SG on human rights in Crimea
Statement of Japan
Minister Counsellor NISHINO Shuichi
9 July 2021
Japan calls for recommitment to the ceasefire and expects that all concerned parties will continue engaging in the dialogue based on the conclusions of the Normandy format Summit in December 2019. We further expect all concerned parties to implement the Minsk Agreement.
Japan continues to be alarmed by the reports of the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the human rights situation on the ground in Ukraine, including in the form of restriction of access to healthcare services and medicine. It is all the more important to ensure access to humanitarian assistance in response to the pandemic in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula.
Japan also attaches importance to unhindered access of the international monitoring mission, including OHCHR, in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, and strongly expects that international human rights standards will be respected in the region.
Japan remains troubled by the allegations of arbitrary arrest, detention, and torture in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula.
It is essential to ensure the rule of law and effectively prevent and investigate these violations. It is also important to guarantee a safe and enabling environment for civil society organizations, journalists, and human rights defenders.
Madam High Commissioner, how can your Office and the international community assist Ukraine to enable CSOs to act safely throughout the whole territory?
I thank you.
