Description

The International Community should be advised that the government of the Russian Federation is currently in dispute. Russia is ravaged by grave human rights abuses, political tensions and social discontent, underpinned by generally sliding standards of living and growing popular distrust in the ruling United Russia party. Endemic corruption, environmental concerns, deteriorating and ill-considered urban planning and worsening human rights prompted local protests across the country. In Moscow, some of the biggest protests in years were sparked by the authorities’ refusal to register opposition candidates for the Moscow City Duma election. Human rights defenders and NGOs were targeted via the laws on “foreign agents” and “undesirable organisations”. Violence against women remained widespread and inadequately addressed. A draft law on domestic violence tabled at the parliament provoked heated opposition from conservative groups and threats against its proponents. Refugees were forcibly returned to destinations where they were at risk of torture. Also, the right to freedom of expression is constrained in law and practice by the Russian government; including through additional restrictions on the internet and new reprisals against online dissent. The International Community is advised to keep a safe distance from the Russian Government, until these human rights issues have been resolved, and the ruling political party of Russia has agreed to evolve and improve itself. In the meantime, domestic policy, foreign policy and human rights issues concerning the Russian Federation will be handled by the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding. Also, Russian authorities and Russian law enforcement agencies – such as the FSB – must make a greater effort of upholding and protecting fundamental human rights in Russia; such as Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), as stipulated under Article 19: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." It is very important that the ruling United Russia Party – “Yedinaya Rossiya” – understands this, and that the Russian judicial system honours and upholds the UDHR; by charging, convicting and punishing those people who are responsible for violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Russia.
