The Human Rights Centre ZMINA is a human rights focused non-profit and non-partisan organization based in Kyiv, Ukraine. ZMINA was founded on 15 August, 2012 by Tetiana Pechonchyk, Maksym Butkevych and Maryna Hovorukhina.[1][2]
ZMINA works in the field of protection of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, countering discrimination, the prevention of torture, fighting against impunity[3], supports human rights defenders[4], public activists and media in Ukraine, including the Russian occupied territories, and also protects persons who suffered in as a result of Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine[5]. ZMINA documents and records war crimes and crimes against humanity that have been committed in the occupied territories of Ukraine by Russian or occupational authorities such as enforced disappearances, illegal detention, torture and the extrajudicial killings of detainees[6][7]. Additionally, ZMINA collects information for and helps to support political prisoners, including Crimean Tatar political prisoners held in the Russian Federation[8]. The organization conducts information campaigns, educational programs, monitors and documents cases of human rights violations and international crimes, prepares research and analytics, and achieves change through national and international advocacy.
In particular, ZMINA became one of the initiators of the creation of the "Ukraine. 5 AM Coalition" — a union of human rights organizations that also collect and document war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine[9]. The coalition won the Open Society Award of the Central European University[10] and received an award from the German Institute for International Relations Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen[11] for its contribution to the promotion of intercultural relations through social, socio-political or artistic activities.
Recent Reports
edit- Survival or crime: how Ukraine punishes collaborationism[12]: The analytical report is aimed at researching trends in the practice of considering cases on collaborative activity in Ukraine and analysing the relevant case law, studying developments in amending criminal legislation, as well as communication and public perception of responsibility for collaborations and the demand for justice, with the aim of further improving legislation on collaborative activity and developing an effective strategy for considering such cases to form a uniform and proper practice.
- “You’re loyal to Ukraine – are you Nazi?” Torture and other violations as crimes against humanity by the Russian army in Ukraine[13]: This report addresses torture and other ill-treatment of Ukrainian civilians in the territories of Ukraine occupied by the Russian military in February-March 2022 and liberated later that year. It concludes that these violations were widespread, systematic and may amount to crimes against humanity of persecution against a political group.
- Enforced disappearances: national practice v. international standards[14]: The issue of enforced disappearances has gained new urgency for Ukraine due to the ongoing armed conflict on its territory. Since 2014, with the occupation of the Crimean peninsula and the armed conflict within certain districts in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have recorded cases of disappearances and illegal detentions of persons in the territory under Russian control. Similar cases continue to be documented after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. In fact, anyone can become a victim of enforced disappearance in an armed conflict.
