The European Court of Human Rights has five "Ukraine against Russia" cases for now, as Pavlo Petrenko, Ukraine’s Justice Minister, reported on Facebook.
Over the past year, Ukraine has filed two new interstate cases against Russia on violation of the rights of the political prisoners and the detained Ukrainian sailors.
The approximate time of hearings was appointed for 2019. The first hearing of the case on human rights violations in Crimea is scheduled for February 27.
The ECHR has the following cases:
- “Ukraine against Russia" (on Crimea) on human rights violations in Crimea as a result of its annexation of Russia”;
- “Ukraine against Russia" (on Donbas) on human rights violations in separate districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions;
- “Ukraine against Russia” concerning the kidnapping of orphaned and disabled children on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions by the representatives of the terrorist organizations “DNR” and “LNR” and its illegal or actual displacement in Russia;
- “Ukraine against Russia” concerning Russia’s violation of the rights of Ukrainian political prisoners;
- “Ukraine against Russia” concerning the detained Ukrainian sailors.
As it was reported, the ECHR punished the Ukrainian lawyer who “plied” Strasbourg with questionable complaints on Donbas.
