Visionary designs for a broad, pan-European security system have not been realized. Neither have apocalyptic, Cassandra-like prophesies about a relapse into the dark Middle Ages or a „Back to the Future“ (Mearsheimer 1990) become real. However, it is a matter of fact that the European states system is under a high amount of stress. (see the contributions in Bredow/Jäger/Kümmel 1997) After the Iron Curtain fell, the further development and orientation of European integration, the transformation of Transatlantic relations and the transition to democracy and market economies in the former Soviet empire are important ingredients in the volatile European cocktail. The object of the following analysis, however, is the role of Russia in the European order and its relevance and importance for European security.

  • Ukraine: the Forgotten Victims
    FIDH - Center for Civil Liberties August 2014 Ukraine: The forgotten victims Serious human rights violations Introduction I - Chronology of events II - Human rights violations 1. Shots fired against non-military targets and lack of protection of civilians 2. Abductions and torture: the escalation of terror 3. Violations of freedom of information and speech 4. Violation of minority rights 5. The fight against impunity: numerous obstacles III - Recommendations Introduction The human rights situation in Ukraine is alarming. Civilians are caught in the conflict between the Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian armed groups mainly in the East of the country. They are also abducted or arbitrarily detained, tortured, threatened and subjected to discrimination, especially in Crimea. The serious human rights abuses committed between November 2013 and February 2014, when Euromaidan activists were repressed, received wide coverage from the world media. In- depth investigations were or are presently being carried out by international and national bodies, national civil society and international organisations. The crash of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, shot down by a missile, brought the situation back onto the front page just as the international community’s interest was waning after the events in Maidan and Russia’s annexation of Crimea, having had little influence on efforts to solve the conflict. It has become extremely difficult to document human rights violations in the context of the conflict between the Ukrainian army and pro-Russian groups. This difficulty is due to the overall insecurity in the territory, difficulties in reaching conflict areas, obstacles impeding the work of journalists and NGOs, fears of reprisal on the part of victims if they provide testimony, and the information war waged by both sides.
