  • Identification of Victims of Trafficking in Human Beings in International Protection and Forced Return Procedures in Latvia
    IDENTIFICATION OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS IN INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION AND FORCED RETURN PROCEDURES IN LATVIA FOCUSSED STUDY Riga, October 2013 Aim of the study Identification of victims of trafficking in human beings in international protection and forced return procedures in Latvia is to examine whether, and how, victims of trafficking in human beings are detected and identified in Latvias’ procedures for international protection, and in forced return procedures if they have received a (final) negative decision on their application(s) for protection or have abandoned the procedure. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Latvia is considered as the country of origin of the victims of trafficking in human beings rather than the transit or destination country for human trafficking. So far there have not been any cases of identification of human trafficking victims during the international protection or forced return procedures. Latvia has introduced in its regulatory enactments all requirements set forth in the EU Directives (2004/81/EC and 2011/36/EU). There is a mechanism in place in Latvia for reaction and cooperation of authorities in identification, recognition and provision of necessary assistance, but so far it has been applied only in respect of Latvian nationals who have been recognized as victims of trafficking in human beings. The State Border Guard carries out recognition of the victims of trafficking in human beings both during the international protection and forced return procedures. In the event of doubt that a third-country national might be a victim of trafficking in human beings the State Border Guard notifies the State Police of this fact whereby FOCUSSED STUDY IDENTIFICATION OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS IN INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION AND FORCED RETURN PROCEDURES the latter takes the necessary measures within the limits of its competence for the alleged victim to be legally identified and to receive the statutory protection and assistance.

  • Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1
    ARTICLES Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine 8 Mečislav BORÁK at the Time of the Great Purge Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1 prof. Mečislav BORÁK Abstract In its introduction, the study recalls the course of Czech emigration to Ukraine and the formation of the local Czech minority from the mid-19th century until the end of 1930s. Afterwards, it depicts the course of political persecution of the Czechs from the civil war to the mid-1930s and mentions the changes in Soviet national policy. It characterizes the course of the Great Purge in the years 1937–1938 on a national scale and its particularities in Ukraine, describes the genesis of the repressive mechanisms and their activities. In this context, it is focused on the NKVD’s national operations and the repression of the Czechs assigned to the Polish NKVD operation in the early spring of 1938. It analyses the illegal executions of more than 660 victims, which was roughly half of all Czechs and Czechoslovak citizens executed for political reasons in the former Soviet Union, both from time and territorial point of view, including the national or social-professional structure of the executed, roughly compared to Moscow. The general conclusions are illustrated on examples of repressive actions and their victims from the Kiev region, especially from Kiev, and Mykolajivka community, not far from the centre of the Vinnycko area, the most famous centre of Czech colonization in eastern Podolia. In detail, it analyses the most repressive action against the Czechs in Ukraine which took place in Zhytomyr where on 28 September 1938, eighty alleged conspirators were shot dead, including seventy-eight Czechs.

Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the Department. Organized Economic Crime and Corruption in Ukraine Alexander G. Kalman Yaroslav Mudry National Law Academy of Ukraine One of the most disastrous consequences of the collapse of the Ukrainian communist system has been the wide-spread increase of economic crime. This phenomenon is self-sustaining, penetrating all levels of Ukraine’s economy and administrative sectors. Criminal activity helps to sustain the shadow economy in Ukraine, which has been estimated by various sources to constitute 50-60% of the economy. Law enforcement and administrative efforts have been largely futile in curbing this corruption. Nevertheless, it is possible to overcome the criminal social and economic order that has become ingrained in this “shadow economy.” This paper seeks to propose policy solutions for Ukrainian economic crime and corruption, that could be implemented at the national level. Present day organized crime and corruption in Ukraine, complex in both content and structure, are a direct result of the profound economic, cultural, and political changes brought about during Ukraine’s transition as a Newly Independent State.
