Pdf | 153.62 Kb Ingushetia Situation Report No. 15 Latest developments 1. One of the top Chechen warlords has been captured by the Russian Intelligence Service in Chechnya. 2. Russian Acting President Putin rules out talks with Chechen fighters. 3. United Nations Human Rights Commission is urged to get tough on abuses in Chechnya. 4. Russia warns of Chechnya trip ban if expelled from Council of Europe. 5. A Salvation Army shipment arrived in the Chechen capital of Grozny a few days ago. 1. Russia has captured one of the most wanted Chechen warlords, Salman Raduyev, and taken him to Moscow. Raduyev led a mass hostage-taking raid on the neighbouring Russian republic of Dagestan in January 1996 when his unit took about 150 hostages at a hospital in the town of Kizlyar, were encircled by Russian troops in the village of Pervomaisk but fought their way out and escaped back to Chechnya. Raduyev is respected by some Chechens partly because he is a relative of the late president, Dzhokhar Dudayev, who was killed by a Russian missile in 1996. He is the most high-profile figure yet captured by Russian forces in Chechnya. 2. Acting President Vladimir Putin on March 17 firmly ruled out talks with Chechen guerrillas. "Holding talks with the bandits would effectively mean the same as pulling our troops out of Chechnya. We did that before...and it was a major mistake. We cannot allow ourselves to do this. There will be no more experiments of this kind with Russia" said Putin. At the same time the Chechen separatist leader, Aslan Maskhadov, repeated his call for negotiations to end the fighting. "To stop the war I am ready to speak to anybody, including Putin. But this is most unlikely to happen," said Maskhadov, believed to be hiding in Chechnya's mountainous south. 3. A prominent human rights organization urged the U.N. Human Rights Commission on March 17 to put aside political considerations and get tough on abuses in Chechnya. Reports of human rights violations in the region are expected to cast a long shadow over the session of the 53-nation Rights Commission which opens Monday and runs through April 28. UN human rights chief Mary Robinson is going to visit Russia, including a trip to Chechnya starting March 31. It is expected that the visit will provide impetus for the Commission to take up human rights issues there. Robinson and other international officials have protested the large number of civilian casualties in Russia's campaign against Chechen rebels, and have called for independent investigations into alleged torture and other abuses. Russia has denied the allegations. 4. On March 17, Moscow warned that Council of Europe delegations would be banned to go to Chechnya if Russia is excluded from the CE membership. "If we are excluded, we will no longer be able to hold a dialogue with the Council of Europe, and experts from the Council will no longer be able to visit Chechnya" said Sergei Yastrzhembsky, the Kremlin's chief Chechnya spokesman. A statement from the Council, meanwhile, confirmed that Russia's special representative for human rights in Chechnya, Vladimir Kalamanov, would visit the body next week. Kalamanov is expected to meet with the Council's Secretary General, Walter Schwimmer, to discuss the possible incorporation of European human rights experts in a Russian office due to open shortly in Chechnya. The office is intended to handle complaints from Chechen civilians against mistreatment and human rights violations by Russia troops. 5. A Salvation Army shipment arrived in the Capital of Grozny a few days ago. The aid program is run by Canadian SA Captain Geoffrey Ryan. He says security is a big concern for aid workers. In Chechnya SA was provided with security by the federal troops. One of the official invitations to come in was sent by the commandant of the Grozny region. He provided a couple of trucks with guns mounted on them and a detachment of soldiers that accompanied SA around. Ryan says Grozny is a scene of utter devastation. The Salvation Army has two teams now working in Chechnya delivering aid. According to some estimates, 20 to 60 per cent of the aid sent to the region is stolen by criminals or the Russian military. But Ryan says because the Salvation Army controls the aid from start to finish he is confident that food and medicine is reaching those who so desperately need it. Distribution DRC Emergency Assistance Project In the period from 11/03 to 18/03, DRC field workers conducted distributions of ECHO, UNHCR winter clothing, UNHCR soap and UNHCR children’s tights for IDPs living in with host families in Ingushetia.

After the information collected during the additional registration had been processed, it appeared that the total number of IDPs from Chechnya in Ingushetia increased significantly and by late February had arrived at 213,821 instead of the originally registered 186,149 IDPs. Below is some statistical information extracted from the database on IDPs in Ingushetia based on the February 29 up-dated figures. A total of 23,009 IDPs from the Prigorodny District (North Ossetia-Alania) and 5 IDPs from Daghestan were registered in Ingushetia during the process. Thus, the total number of IDPs (from Chechnya, North Ossetia and Daghestan) in Ingushetia is 236,835. Time of arrival of IDPs from Chechnya in Ingushetia September 1999 94,546 October 1999 84,588 November 1999 19,065 December 1999 5,948 January 2000 5,546 February 2000 4,128 The male part of the IDP population from Chechnya amounts to 98,368, while the female part consists of 115,453 persons. Children 0 -16 years of age, (born from 1984-2000): boys 44,224, girls 43170. Elderly 60+: Men 5,336, women 9,283. With regard to ethnic affiliation, 196,987 persons are Chechens (92,1%), 15,726 are Ingush (7,4%), 682 Russians (0.3%) and 426 other groups (0.2%). With regard to religious affiliation, 213,392 are Muslims (99.8%), 426 are Christians (0.2%), while 3 (0.0%) are Jews. The database includes information on certain vulnerable groups including pregnant and lactating women (3,243), infants 0-12 months (5,177), children 12-36 months (12,073), IDPs with mental/physical handicap or disease (4,380), elderly 65+ (9,605), children up to 14 without adequate family/social support (1,569) and single-parent families (3,222). The IDP database is already available on a searchable CD-ROM and has been provided to 15 international agencies and NGOs. DRC has finished registration of host families (HF) in Ingushetia. A total of 12,711 HFs have been registered. Out of them 10,384 HFs do not charge IDPs for provision of the accommodation. DRC is preparing to expand its logistics operation in Ingushetia also to cover host families. Each family will receive the food ration also provided to the IDPs. The families will receive food in quantities for 6-7 persons, no matter the number of host family members. The food will be distributed to the host families at the distribution points in conjunction with the distribution of food for the IDPs. At each FDP the host family beneficiaries will receive their rations just after the distribution for IDPs have been concluded. UNHCR is now providing food for distribution among host families through DRC and discussions with the Ingush authorities are being carried out on the technical modalities. Inter-Agency Issues On March 13, the Deputy Minister of EMERCOM - Ingushetia, Mr. Zinedy Movlanov, who is in charge of the Chechnya IDPs’ issues, visited DRC FO in Nazran. He was briefed on the current results of the DRC on-going Program of Emergency Assistance to IDPs from Chechnya, and promised, on his part, to support the future DRC activities concerning both Ingushetia and in Chechnya. On March 14, an Inter-Agency meeting took place at DRC FO Nazran. MDM, MSF - H, MSF - B, MCI, ARD (Holland), Salvation Army, DRC, Islamic Relief, Stavropol Human Rights Center participated in the discussion of co-ordination issues. Grozny Region and Alkhan-Kala Heads of Administrations were present at the meeting. They informed the participants about the living conditions in these areas. There are 38 villages in Grozny Region and the village of Alkhan-Kala itself numbers 12,700 inhabitants. MSF - H informed the participants about the distribution of medical kits consisting of basic drugs, dressings, suture, syringes, etc. in the clinics of Ingushetia. Islamic Relief is working in three directions: food, water-supply and medicine. IR covers 25,000 IDPs by distributing food items 4 times a month.

    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state.

The Report is aimed at comprehensively tackling the issues of observing in Russia the rights enshrined in the Convention and at drawing the Committee experts’ attention to the most burning problems in the sphere of these rights realization, which have not been reflected in the Russian Federation Report. When working on the Report we did not strive to refute the official information and to confront the Russian Federation’s official position.
