In order to improve the observance and enforcement of human and citizen’s rights and freedoms in Ukraine and pursuant to part two of article 102 of the Constitution of Ukraine I decree thereby:
President of Ukraine P.Poroshenko
APPROVED
by the Decree of the President of Ukraine
# 501/2015 of 25 August 2015
The need for approval of the National Strategy for Human Rights (hereinafter – the Strategy) was determined by the necessity to improve state activities on observance and enforcement of human rights and freedoms, establishing an efficient mechanism of protecting human rights and freedoms in Ukraine and settling systemic issues in this realm.
Developments of the Revolution of Dignity (November 2013 – February 2014) proved irreversible commitment of Ukrainian people towards shaping a true constitutional and democratic state, where rights and freedoms of each and every person are respected.
The problem of protecting human rights and freedoms is aggravated by the temporary occupation of the part of Ukrainian territory and the military aggression of the Russian Federation in certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Along the top-priority objectives related to strengthening national security, overcoming economic crisis, reforming public administration, etc., observing human rights remains the main commitment of the state, and it should direct the state activities in all efforts that it undertakes. The risks of restrictions of human rights and freedoms grow disproportionally during the crisis and require a particular control on the side of civil society.
The Strategy aims at uniting the society around understanding the value of human rights and freedoms that shall be protected equally and without discrimination.
The Strategy focuses on responding to the main systemic challenges in the area of protecting human rights and freedoms and new challenges that the society faces with, but it is not exhaustive in terms of the problems in this area. The system of protecting human rights and freedoms will be improved with due account of both domestic experience and frameworks and principles developed and piloted by the international community. In this regard, the Strategy will effectively build on the experience of Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Ukrainian human rights defendants, the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, other international organizations, and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights.
In cooperation with other states, Ukraine will apply a human rights based approach and develop bilateral relations based on respect for international commitments in this area.
The goal of the Strategy is to ensure the priority of human rights and freedoms as a pivotal driver of the state policy that guides state authorities and local governments in a decision-making process.
The implementation of the Strategy will result in introducing systemic approach to fulfilling the objectives and ensuring cohesive actions of the state authorities and local self-government bodies in the area of human rights and freedoms, establishing the efficient (accessible, understandable, predictable) mechanism of observing human rights and freedoms in Ukraine.
The Strategy is based on the following principles:
- openness and transparency of implementation of the Strategy with the aim to maximize the involvement of all stakeholders to implementation and monitoring;
- equality and non-discrimination in observing equal rights and freedoms;
- specificity and feasibility of strategic goals and measurability of the expected results of the Strategy;
- integrity at interpretation and implementation of the Strategy;
- allocation of financial and other resources necessary to achieve the strategic goals;
- addressing the new challenges in time.
Ensuring the right to life
Human life is the highest value of society. The state’s duty to protect human life is of particular significance, with regard to current circumstances, in particular:
Strategic goal:
To ensure adequate protection of the right to life and the availability of remedies and mechanisms for effective investigation of violations of the right to life.
Expected outcomes:
- an efficient system aimed at ensuring combating criminal acts against life, their prevention, suppression and punishment for such acts an remedies of the families of victims is established;
- rules of the international law are observed for the protection of life of peaceful population on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine;
- the conditions of detention and treating persons in the detention facilities where they are detained upon the court or administrative decision pursuant to the law are in line with international standards;
- pre-conditions are created for minimizing the increased risks to life and health.
The torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment remains a systemic problem in Ukraine.
Lack of efficient investigation of crimes and inefficient system of prevention and protection from tortures create an atmosphere of impunity and provoke the spread of it.
Developments related to the aggression of the Russian Federation aggravated the problem of improper treatment and made society more tolerant to it.
Strategic goal:
Expected outcomes
- an efficient system of investigating crimes related to torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including enforced disappearances, is established;
- efficiency of legal protection from the improper treatment is ensured;
- an efficient remedy and rehabilitation of victims of crimes related to torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is provided to the victims, in accordance with the international standards;
- conditions of detention and treatment of detainees in all places of custody where they are detained upon the court or administrative decision pursuant to the law conform to international standards;
- efficient operation of the national preventive mechanism is secured;
- the principle of prohibition of expulsion of aliens and stateless persons to the state where they can suffer from improper treatment is observed.
Systemic problems in this area are particularly the practice of non-compliance with procedural law by law enforcement officers and judges, unconformity of the domestic human rights law to international standards leading to arbitrary deprivation of liberty (in particular, violation of human rights during admission to mental health hospitals, in temporary facilities for foreigners and stateless persons who stay in Ukraine illegally and in temporary facilities for refugees), enforced disappearances on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine and in the area of anti-terrorist operation in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

- support is provided to victims of enforced disappearances and their families.
The right to independent, impartial and unbiased trial is not ensured in a proper way. In particular, it is proved by the facts that judges are dependent from executive and legislative authorities; the judiciary is appointed in non-transparent way; procedural instruments to protect the rights and interests of persons are imperfect; system of legal aid does not include new categories of people who need it; systematic failure of court decisions; insufficient unity and consistency of jurisprudence; justice legislation and its application do not comply with international standards.

At the same time, an array of problems still has to be addressed. The most urgent of them are excessive state regulation of information relations; improper protection n of the journalists; state propaganda and restrictions of public speeches on certain issues; influence of owners of mass media on editorial policy; improper implementation of legislation in the area of access to information, including public information; no guarantee of access of everyone to information resources, in particular to the Internet.

Despite the adoption of progressive legislation on the protection of personal data, a number of problems are there is the area if ensuring the right to privacy. In particular, there is no effective protection of the right to privacy, prevention and termination of infringements of legislation during the processing of personal data. No effective institutional mechanism of independent control over the protection of right to personal data is in place.

Strategic goal:
To ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine.
Expected outcomes:
- the measures aimed to protect the rights of citizens of Ukraine residing in the temporarily occupied territory are implemented, including through the available bilateral and multilateral international legal mechanisms.

Low awareness of individuals authorized to perform state functions of the international human rights standards leads to the disregard for human rights and, thus, to violations of the rule of law in their activities.
Strategic goal:
To enable every person to have access to information and gain knowledge about the rights, freedoms and duties of a person and a citizen, the mechanisms of their exercise and protection.
Expected outcomes:
