- Abstract
The Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights is an independent constitutional institution, since 1997 authorised to exercise parliamentary control over the observance of constitutional rights and freedoms of an individual and a citizen, to protect the rights of everyone within the territory of Ukraine and its jurisdiction. It is recognised by citizens, national stakeholders and the GANHRI. The Commissioner works on the basis of international and European human rights law and the Paris Principles to meet the challenges of the human rights promotion and protection as a state non-judicial mechanism of providing remedies in case of human rights abuse and violation. Despite different factors of political, economic and social nature as well as internal problems, it strives for and implements developments. In October 2019 it was for the third time re-accredited with "A status" as fully compliant with the Paris Principles. The Commissioner's recent developments are conditioned by the Edinburgh Declaration, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.
