A/HRC/42/40/Add.2 91. The Working Group also recommends that the Government digitalize the judicial system and the prisoners’ registry. An official up-to-date register of all persons deprived of their liberty must be maintained in every place of detention, in accordance with article 10 (3) of the Declaration. 4. Reparations 92. The Working Group recommends that the Government of Ukraine: (a) Develop, as a matter of urgency, a reparations policy that takes into account the specific needs of women and children, and make adequate provisions for it; (b) Develop a gender-sensitive policy and plan of action to provide support to and rehabilitation for families of forcibly disappeared persons, including specific measures to support families of disappeared persons whose death has been confirmed through truth-seeking processes. (c) Create a comprehensive system of reparations that includes professional and victim-oriented psychosocial assistance for relatives of disappeared persons in relation to the physical, mental and economic consequences resulting from the absence of the disappeared person; (d) Ensure that the mechanisms created under the new Law on Missing Persons for social and other allowances comply with international standards. 93. The Working Group invites the Government of Ukraine to submit within 90 days of the date of the presentation of the present report to the Human Rights Council a timetable of the steps that it will take to implement the present recommendations. B. Self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republic” and “Luhansk People’s Republic” 94. The Working Group recommends that the self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republic” and “Luhansk People’s Republic”: (a) Lift restrictions on OHCHR operations; (b) Ensure unimpeded and confidential access by OHCHR and other international observers to detainees and places of deprivation of liberty in the territory under their control; (c) Repeal the systems of administrative and preventive detention in the “Donetsk People’s Republic” and the “Luhansk People’s Republic”, as they allow for the deprivation of liberty of a person without effective supervision, for 30 or 60 days respectively, on the mere suspicion of involvement in certain illegal activities. C. Russian Federation, in relation to Crimea 95. The Working Group recommends that the Russian Federation take measures to ensure the protection of all residents in Crimea from enforced disappearance, and that independent human rights monitoring missions be allowed to visit the region in order to assess the situation. D. International community 96.
