286 26 70 SUMMARY Civic Network OPORA, which implements the project under Cooperative Agreement No.: AID-121-A- 12-00004 with Modification #2 of 22 December 2013, presents a quarterly report on its activities for the period from 01.10.2015 to 31.12.15. During this period, OPORA was focused on implementation of major project tasks and objectives set forth in the agreement. During the reporting period, our observation activities covered regular local elections held nationwide on 25 October and in 29 cities on 15 November (second round of mayoral elections in large cities), as well as elections in the cities of Mariupol and Krasnoarmiisk on 29 November. OPORA has organized 8 PVTs and deployed long-term and short-term observers throughout Ukraine. All reports and information materials were popular among Ukrainian and international observers, analysts of independent organizations, diplomats and political actors. Besides that, PVT results have influenced legitimacy of the election process, and prevented unsubstantiated political confrontations, which could have been caused by losing parties Besides that, OPORA has prepared and launched a number of products for citizen activists, like an Android application, awareness-rising videos, map of violations with geolocation etc.. The organization has been actively working in cooperation with law- enforcement. As a result of such citizen oversight, over 300 criminal proceedings against voting rights violations were initiated, and 3 enforced court sentences in bribery cases. It is the first precedent in Ukrainian history when organizers of voter bribery were brought to responsibility before the election has finished. Making legislative amendments during the election process is contrary to the principle of legal stability. Therefore, OPORA has focused during the reporting period on preparation of recommendations to by-laws and Explanations of the Central Election Commission, which have directly influenced the election process. For example, OPORA's position has positively influenced the second round of mayoral election in Pavlohrad, procedure for preparation and conduct of elections in Mariupol etc. OPORA continued working on strategic planning. For example, we organized 3 meetings with key personnel, prepared a strategic planning session with regional representatives, 2016 calendar plan, and started developing new safety strategy and preparing IT audit. POLITICAL CONTEXT Political activities reached the peak in October – December. Such intensification was mostly due to the local election campaign, the most active stages of which turned out to be in October-November. Ukrainian Parliament, in fact, stops functioning for this period. According to plenary sittings schedule, MPs are actively involved on election campaigns at sites and don't realize their legislative functions. Campaign agenda has little to do with local self-government. It is mostly focused on national topics, used as a background for popularization of party brands. Besides that, a number of small parliamentary parties assume that the parliamentary coalition might collapse resulting in early 3 01103, Kyiv, Pidvysotskoho St. 10/10, office 3 www.oporaua.org, [email protected] +38 044 286 26 70 election to the Parliament. This assumption influences key statements of politicians and election campaign messages to the certain extent. For example, Batkivshchyna, Radical Party of Oleh Liashko (has officially left the Coalition), and Samopomich usually step aside from the results of parliamentary majority's work. Taking into consideration the possibility of holding early parliamentary elections, national-level politicians use more populist

  • Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting on Promotion of Freedom of Expression: Rights, Responsibilities and OSCE Commitments, Vien
    Session 1, 2 and 3 PC.SHDM.NGO/18/14 4 July 2014 ENGLISH only Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting on promotion of freedom of expression: rights, responsibilities and OSCE commitments, Vienna, 3-4 July 2014 Statement of International Partnership for Human Rights1 The epicenter of violations against the freedom of expression in Ukraine have shifted rapidly over the last several months. Aggression against journalists and impairment of press activities in Kiev spiked sharply during the Maidan protests. The number of violations against individuals grew with the subsequent annexation of Crimea and attempts to silence opposition and minority voices became more systematic in that region. Violent aggression against members of the media has increased alarmingly in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk where, in addition to abductions of journalists and regular acts of violence, separatist leaders are attempting to engineer a media system that supports their political ideology and aspirations. Several positive measures have been adopted at the state level to ensure more substantive press freedoms in the wake of the EuroMaidan protests. These include a new law passed by the interim government in April in an attempt to ensure media independence and pluralism. The law assures that “all state-run television and radio companies… shall be transformed into joint entities under control of civil society” in an attempt to ensure that public interests come before those of commercial and political actors.2 Another measure passed in March 2014 amends Ukraine’s

  • Journalists and Bloggers Is an Arbitrary Detention
    Crimean Human Rights Group 2 ARBITRARY DETENTIONS, TORTURES, QUESTIONING ne of the most commonly used methods of pressure on journalists and bloggers is an arbitrary detention. Such actions were mainly carried out by representatives of law enforcement structures or paramilitary units, with the journalists having been usually detained without drawing up any reports. In some cases, battery, injuries, theft or damage to the property of journalists during such detentionsO were recorded, though the occupying authorities refused to investigate these facts. YEAR 2014 On March 4th 2014 the shooting teams of «Al Jazeera» and «1+1» TV Channels were blocked in the military unit close to Yevpatoria. The unknown people encircled their vehicles, demanded them to show the records and allowed them to go only in several hours1. On March 5th 2014 the ‘self-defence’ members did not allow the journalists of «1+1» TV Channel to enter the territory of Crimea. Earlier, when entering the peninsula, the attackers took the shooting team hostages and threatened them with using the journalists as ‘a human shield’ – the journalists were re- leased only after the lengthy negotiations. On March 5th 2014 the ‘self-defence’ blocked Ms Dunja Mijatović, an OSCE Freedom of Speech Rep- resentative, who was meeting with Crimean mass media editors and civil activists, in the center of Sim- feropol. Then she and persons who escorted her were forced to go to the Simferopol Airport2. Dunja MIJATOVIĆ in Crimea. Screenshot of Bogdan KUTEPOV’S video/ Hromadske TB, March 5th 2014

    Publication is made in frames of the project «Secret Service of Ukraine Reform Based on International Experience» between the Institute for the Future and Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs SSU Reform: Challenges and Prospects. The Study / Zakharov Y., Tokarev G., Stupak І., Popov І., Samus M., General edition: Semyorkina О.М. – К., 2021. – 172 p. The study is dedicated to the issues of reforming of the SSU in post-Soviet Ukraine. In particular, we analysed the international experience of reforming the special services, a number of documents of UN, Council of Europe, the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission), as well as legislation and practice of various countries of the world. A prominent place in the study is given to the analysis of observance of human rights in the activities of the SSU. The authors suggested the ways of reforming the SSU, based on the international standards and the best global experience. We have developed the recommendations concerning the model of SSU reform and implementation of parliamentary control. The study is designed for the members of parliament, employees of the public sector working in the fields of criminal justice and law enforcement, representatives of international and non-governmental organisations, researchers, and the general public. Preparation for publication and printing of this publication was carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of the Future.
