Social and Economic Handbook.’ Moscow 1999. 1 2 1.2 REGIONAL OVERVIEW The humanitarian consequences of the events in the northern Caucasus continue to devastate the lives of some 330,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 690,000 residents in the Republic of Chechnya and the Republic of Ingushetia. In late autumn 1999, the United Nations, thanks to the generous financial and in-kind support of the international donor community (see annex B), began to address the protection and assistance needs of civilians in the Northern Caucasus, thereby complementing the relief being provided by the Russian Government (see annex C). During October 2000, the UN agencies involved in humanitarian action, including the UN Development Programme (UNDP), UN Population Fund (UNFPA), UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), World Food Programme (WFP), and World Health Organization (WHO), and for the first time in this context Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), reviewed ongoing programmes in Chechnya and Ingushetia, assessed the current situation, and planned programmes for 2001. The Government's Ministry for Civil Defence, Emergencies, and the Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM) and the Ministry on the Affairs of Federation, Nationalities and Migration Policy (Ministry of Federation), as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), participated in this process. Extensive consultations were held with non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The UN Humanitarian Coordinator, supported by OCHA, organised this process. As projected in the 2001 Consolidated Appeal, throughout the first half of 2001, there has been little or no return from Ingushetia to Chechnya (and of IDPs in Chechnya to their place of origin). This is a result of the continuing instability of the security environment inside Chechnya and the subsequent decision of IDPs to remain in Ingushetia until conditions improve to such an extent that they feel it is safe to return home. The overall goal of the UN's humanitarian programme is to complement governmental action to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of living conditions amongst civilians in need by continuing to provide humanitarian assistance. During 2001 UN agencies have continued to work in the following sectors: protection, food, shelter and non-food items, health, water and sanitation, education, mine awareness, and economic recovery and infrastructure. The number of beneficiaries varies by sector, for example 205,000 in education or 770,000 in water and sanitation, assuming that donor support continues to be provided. 2. HUMANITARIAN ACTION BY SECTOR AND UN FOCAL POINTS The UN coordination focal point for PROTECTION is UNHCR. The UNHCR Protection team continues to monitor IDP movement and conditions via their VESTA monitoring teams operational in Ingushetia and recently in Chechnya. The UN is aiming to: ensure that IDPs have access to secure locations and humanitarian assistance, including freedom of movement and the right to remain in safe areas; promote the creation of conditions that allow voluntary return; ensure the IDPs have access to necessary legal documentation and are treated according to human rights standards; empower regional and federal authorities and NGOs to implement effective protection monitoring and intervention; and focus psychosocial assistance on the civilians who have mental health needs, including victims of sexual violence. Other organisations in the Northern Caucasus, such as the Council of Europe who have three observers based in the northern Chechen town of Znamenskoye, the ICRC with expatriates visiting places of detention in Chechnya, and the Russian human rights group Memorial, are also playing a vital role in attempting to identify and assist IDPs with protection-related problems. On 15 June 2001, the Organisation for Security and Humanitarian Action in the Northern Caucasus: Briefing Kit 3 Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) returned to Chechnya, and is now also located in the town of Znamenskoye. Like the Council of Europe, the OSCE indicates in its operational mandate that it will ‘promote respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the establishment of facts concerning their violation’. The UN coordination focal point for FOOD is WFP. In February 2000, WFP replaced UNHCR as the primary supplier of basic foods to IDPs while UNHCR

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    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. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.

  • Laws in Conflict: Legacies of War and Legal Pluralism in Chechnya
    Laws in Conflict: Legacies of War and Legal Pluralism in Chechnya Egor Lazarev Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Egor Lazarev All rights reserved ABSTRACT Laws in Conflict: Legacies of War and Legal Pluralism in Chechnya Egor Lazarev This dissertation explores how the social and political consequences of armed conflict affect legal pluralism; specifically, the coexistence of Russian state law, Sharia, and customary law in Chechnya. The study draws on qualitative and quantitative data gathered during seven months of fieldwork in Chechnya. The data include over one hundred semistructured interviews with legal authorities and religious and traditional leaders; an original survey of the population; and a novel dataset of all civil and criminal cases heard in state courts. First, the dissertation argues that armed conflict disrupted traditional social hierarchies in Chechnya, which paved the way for state penetration into Chechen society. The conflict particularly disrupted gender hierarchies. As a result of the highly gendered nature of the conflict, women in Chechnya became breadwinners in their families and gained experience in serving important social roles, most notably as interlocutors between communities and different armed groups. This change in women’s bargaining power within households and increase in their social status came into conflict with the patriarchal social order, which was based on men’s rigid interpretations of religious and customary norms. In response, women started utilizing the state legal system, a system that at least formally acknowledges gender equality, in contrast to customary law and Sharia.

Its production should be organized so as to constantly meet the needs of the population. The study of the history of the village, the legal framework adopted in the country in recent decades, give reason to believe that there are features of a modern entrepreneur in the Russian peasant. Further formation of its business character will depend on the conditions created by society for motivated work, indirectly promoting economic policy in matters of parity pricing, improvement of the system of state support, etc. Despite a number of measures taken by the government to development of farming and to reorganize unprofitable collective farms, except for the allocation of land for the future individual economy, subsequent problems in the regions are not always solved in time. The proposed concept of development of private agricultural entrepreneurship based on group creation of peasant Enterprise in rural settlements would be appropriate in the allocation of land, the operation of agricultural machinery by farmers and other economic funds.
