A/HRC/41/CRP.2 reporting period, due to the insufficient number of EECPs and the precarious crossing conditions. During the reporting period, at least nine civilians (eight men and one woman) died from health complications while crossing the EECPs in both directions.36 41. In March 2019, SBU changed the validity of permits that civilians can apply to cross the contact line through the five EECPs in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. 37 Permits requested or renewed as of 28 March 2019 no longer have an expiry date. Permits applied for, and approved before, or on, 28 March 2019 will be valid for one year but will be renewed thereafter without an expiry date.38 OHCHR welcomes this positive development, which should facilitate civilian crossing of the contact line.39 42. OHCHR notes a recent court decision40 rendering void a list issued by the Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories of goods allowed for transfer across the contact line, which is currently being appealed. The implementation of any decision without a clear preestablished procedure regulating the transfer of goods, including a list of prohibited goods, may create a gap at the legislative level and could lead to arbitrary decisions by authorities administrating the EECPs. OHCHR reaffirms its recommendation to the Government on the necessity of substituting such list with a list of goods prohibited from transfer. IV. Right to physical integrity 43. OHCHR documented 231 human rights violations and abuses involving arbitrary detention, torture, ill-treatment and/or threats to physical integrity, committed on both sides of the contact line.41 Sixty-eight violations occurred within the reporting period, which affected 39 victims (38 men and one woman). Of these, 14 are attributed to the Government of Ukraine, four are attributed to ‘Donetsk people’s republic’ and 50 are attributed to ‘Luhansk people’s republic’.42 A. Access to places of detention 44. OHCHR enjoyed access to official places of detention and conducted confidential interviews with detainees and prisoners in accordance with international standards in Government-controlled territory. During the reporting period, OHCHR interviewed 125 conflict-related detainees (120 men and five women) in pre-trial detention facilities (SIZO) 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 14 At least three civilian deaths (60-year-old and 66-year-old men and an 86-year-old woman) were recorded at EECP Stanytsia Luhanska (two on Government-controlled territory and one in armed group-controlled territory); at least two men died (81 year-old, the age of the second man is unknown) at EECP Maiorske (reportedly, while crossing from the armed group-controlled territory to Government-controlled territory). Two deaths occurred on the Government-controlled territory of EECP Novotroitske (64-year-old and 83-year-old men). Another 65-year-old man died at EECP Marinka (Government-controlled territory), and another in unknown circumstances. The information is available at https://urp.ssu.gov.ua/. Crossing permits valid for one crossing will be valid for 20 days. The provision for termless electronic passes was introduced in April 2017, following advocacy on the implementation of such amendments by OHCHR with other organisations. See OHCHR Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine, 16 May – 15 August 2017, para 94. Also see OHCHR Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine, 16 February – 15 May 2017, para. 100. The decision is available at http://reyestr.court.gov.ua/Review/80383536?fbclid=IwAR3zQnLsEnGBXfEZ6hKDlnY4WM4dDy_ feU8ZSTsKqhxSic48au8WPbLngVY. This number includes violations of the right to decent detention conditions and humane treatment documented by OHCHR while interviewing pre-conflict prisoners transferred on 7 February and 20 March 2019 from detention facilities in the territory controlled by ‘Luhansk people’s republic’ to Government-controlled territory. The majority of these abuses were documented by OHCHR via interviews with pre-conflict prisoners transferred to Government-controlled territory and related to detention conditions in detention facilities in territory controlled by ‘Luhansk people’s republic’. Having no current access to detention facilities, OHCHR was able to verify information provided by transferred prisoners only through corroborating this information through interviews with other prisoners held in the same facilities.
