A/HRC/43/CRP.7 several similar entry bans issued to media workers since the beginning of the occupation and raises concerns about further narrowing of possibilities for independent reporting in Crimea.124 118. Under international humanitarian law, individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the occupying Power, or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited regardless of their motive.125 In addition, by forcibly transferring Ukrainian citizens to mainland Ukraine, the Russian Federation contributes to internal displacement within Ukraine. C. Freedom of movement 119. During the reporting period, two significant developments improved conditions for those who both work at and cross the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) between mainland Ukraine and Crimea. 120. On 15 November 2019, the Ukrainian Government renovated and re-opened two crossing points, “Chonhar” and “Kalanchak”, at the ABL. As a result, crossing conditions in both places have improved significantly for pedestrians and those who travel by car. 121. In another positive development, on 24 December 2019, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted Resolution No. 1157,126 which simplified the freedom of movement of children between Crimea and mainland Ukraine. According to the Resolution, children below age 16 are allowed to cross the ABL in the direction from Crimea to mainland Ukraine if accompanied by at least one parent, and can return from the mainland to Crimea across the ABL accompanied by the same parent. Notarized approvals of the second parent are, therefore, no longer required. Moreover, children aged between 14 and 16 may cross the ABL in either direction unaccompanied if they study in mainland Ukraine and reside in Crimea. The Resolution entered into force on 9 February 2020. IX. Technical cooperation and capacity-building 122. OHCHR regularly provides the Government and other stakeholders with technical cooperation and capacity-building to enhance the promotion and protection of human rights in Ukraine. 123. As part of human rights week celebrated by the Parliament from 2 to 6 December 2019, OHCHR made several presentations during parliamentary sessions, including on conflict related sexual violence, remedy and reparation, and minority rights and delivered the closing address of the week. OHCHR prepared briefing and communications materials on questions relating to lack of process in accountability proceedings for killings and violent deaths at Maidan.127 Legal analysis was also shared with the authorities with regard to legislative developments, namely recommendations to the parliamentary committee responsible for drafting a law on harmonisation of national criminal law with international criminal law and international humanitarian law.128 124. As part of the global Free&Equal campaign, OHCHR trained 78 police officers (57 men and 21 women) on the protection of the rights of LGBTI in four sessions in Kyiv, Chernivtsi, Kharkiv and Mariupol. 125. Eighty-two university students and human rights defenders throughout Ukraine also benefitted from OHCHR expertise, including through presentations on women’s and human 124 125 126 127 128 See OHCHR, Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine, 16 November 2018 to15 February 2019, para. 112.
