The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) is a group of human rights monitors established in Ukraine in 2014 by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.^[1]

Creation and aims

The

HRMMU was led by Fiona Frazer in 2016[2] and by Matilda Bogner in March 2022.^[3] HRMMU had 57 staff in 2020^[1] and 60 in March 2022.^[3]

HRMMU's monitoring is based on firsthand testimony from people claiming human rights violations. HRMMU also contacts security services about suspected violations.^[2]

Actions

In 2016, issues treated by HRMMU included the cases of five people who had apparently been held in secret prisons in Kharkiv by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and legal advocacy for victims of human rights violations. As of December 2016^[update], HRMMU had not obtained access to places of detention in the parts of Donbas occupied by Russian forces.^[2]

In December 2016, Frazer, the head of HRMMU at the time, stated that civil society support had played a significant role in helping internally displaced persons over the previous two and a half years.^[2]
