Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Situation in Ukraine: Mrs. Olena Shaloput

10:00 am

Mrs. Olena Shaloput:

International human rights missions have no access to Crimea. According to the resolution agreed to in December, Crimea was recognised as an occupied territory. The resolution urged Russia to allow access to all international human rights missions to exercise their mandate over the entire territory of Ukraine, including Crimea. Therefore, we have information on the human rights situation in Crimea from some non-governmental organisations, but it is rather restricted.
