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.
