A/HRC/27/75 drawn in that respect to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which requires that anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge shall be brought before a judge promptly so as to be charged or freed. While acknowledging that security measures might require the adoption of specific provisions limiting certain guarantees, they must, nonetheless, always be consistent with the norms, standards and procedures of international law. IX. Conclusion 35. Respect for human rights, good governance and the rule of law are key to peace and security and economic and social development. An environment conducive to the promotion and protection of human rights in Ukraine depends on respect for General Assembly resolution 68/262 on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, the absence of armed conflict and the effective control of the State borders between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. 36. As OHCHR has consistently highlighted in its reports, the Government of Ukraine should prioritize addressing systemic and structural issues affecting human rights through institutional reform, with the aim of establishing governance and justice systems that are effective and accountable, promote and protect human rights for all and are non-discriminatory. 37. A comprehensive human rights plan, reflecting recommendations from international and regional mechanisms, should become an integral part of the reform agenda of Ukraine, with the sustained support of the international community, regional organizations and the United Nations. 38. OHCHR appreciates the good cooperation extended by the Government of Ukraine to the Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. The Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine will continue to monitor and report on the evolving situation, with a view to contributing to an unbiased and accurate assessment of the human rights situation and a stronger and effective national human rights protection system. 10
