A/HRC/42/40/Add.3 Factual editions 1. We propose to substitute the words “State Penitentiary Service” for the words “State Criminal Enforcement Service” in the paragraph 5 of the draft report since starting from September 2016 such a central authority as State Penitentiary Service does not exist in Ukraine. 2. In the third sentence in the paragraph 13 of the draft report quotes must be removed out of words “anti-terrorist operation” because usage of that construction with quotes may cause controversial legal-political interpretation of antiterrorist operation conducting and raise doubts of its lawfulness. Anti-terrorist operation was officially launched by the Decree of Acting President of Ukraine and Head of Ukrainian Parliament “On the Resolution of the National Security and Defense Council of 13 April 2014 “On urgent measures to overcome terrorist threat and maintain territorial integrity of Ukraine” dated 14 April 2014 No. 405/2014 and was legally justified. 3. Rewrite the last sentence in the paragraph 16 of the draft report in the following way: “In 2015, the President of Ukraine approved the National Human Rights Strategy and subsequently the Government approved the relevant Action Plan for the period up to 2020 to implement it”. 4. In the paragraph 22 of the draft report the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrants and Members of Their Families should be deleted from the list of mentioned ratified international treaties by Ukraine as far as Ukraine did not ratify that treaty. 5. In the paragraph 28 of the draft report numbers “1461” must be replaced to “146 1” considering that the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not have article 1461.
