A United Nations report finds a sharp deterioration in the human rights situation in Crimea since Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula in March 2014, triggering the biggest crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.
In the most comprehensive report to date on Russian-occupied Crimea, the U.N. Human Rights Office report documents grave human rights violations between February 2014 and September 2017. It finds Russia, as the occupying power, to be in breach of multiple international humanitarian and human rights laws.
