The output of the Russian High Commissioner for Human Rights, who was dismissed by no vote of no confidence, has been considered too sensational and ill-considered in the country. Human rights organizations criticize Denisova’s dismissal.
One Among the most prominent speakers in the international media about the atrocities of the Russian attack has been the Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova.
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian parliament voted no confidence in Denisova and decided to dismiss her by 234 votes.
Several people are talking about it Ukrainians and others international media. HS has also previously written about it in its updated follow-up to the war in Ukraine here.
Denisova said she considered the decision illegal and intended to appeal it.
Why in such a prominent position, the person who told the victims of the war is now suddenly dismissed against his will?
There are several reasons. Denisova has been criticized for failing to open humanitarian corridors leaving the war zones, investigating the situation of Ukrainians abducted from the occupied territories, and protecting and exchanging prisoners.
Deputy Prime Minister instead of Denisova Iryna Vereshchukin has been said to have acted in these matters, says Deutsche Welle.
Denisova has been accused of focusing too much on media work at the expense of other work and of describing in too much detail even sexual crimes against children in the Russian-occupied territories.
Not all the information he shared about the crimes has been confirmed,for example, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktovan according to Denisova, she would not have provided evidence of all the rapes she reported on social media.
In addition, Denisova has MPs by shared in the public information that Russian forces have been able to use, for example, in abducting children in Russia.
Denisovan occasionally very detailed statements have been widely quoted in the international media, including the HS. For example, in May Denisova said very detailed information on how the Russian army would have raped even infants and babies in the vicinity of the city of Kharkov. Denisova’s statements have been considered sensational and ill-considered among domestic media and human rights workers.
In an open letter on 25 May, dozens of Ukrainian journalists, psychologists and other experts appealed to the Commissioner for Human Rights, saying that “the Commissioner for Human Rights must give priority to the rights and dignity of victims and their relatives”.
Yle says Denisova has received information about sexual offenses from her daughter, among others Oleksandra Kvitkowho works as a volunteer psychologist on the UNICEF Emergency Helpline.
Ukrainian Congressman Fedir Venislavskyi said on Tuesday, according to the news agency Unian, that the decision to dismiss Denisova had already begun to mature of his first public appearances since the start of the Russian war of aggression in late February. Venislavskyi is a member of the Ukrainian Parliament’s Committee on National Security and Defense and Intelligence.
Tuesday Denisova said she plans to appeal her dismissal to court.
“I have been fired in violation of the Constitution, the laws of Ukraine and international standards. I will appeal the decision to the court. The law is the same for everyone, ”he said said According to Krim.Realii.
More than thirty human rights organizations were also on Tuesday vetoed To the Ukrainian Parliament on behalf of Denisova in order for Parliament to “stop politicizing and destroying the independence of the judiciary”.
Denisova said she intended to “continue to protect Ukraine and the rights of our citizens”.
Lyudmila Denisova was appointed Commissioner for Human Rights of the Ukrainian Parliament in 2018. The term should have lasted five years and will not end until next year.
It is estimated that a new High Commissioner for Human Rights could be appointed within a month or two, says Fedir Venislavskyi.
According to Venislavsky, the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights operates normally despite the absence of the Commissioner.
