The Association of Ukrainian Human Rights Monitors on Law Enforcement (Association UMDPL) is a that oversees nationwide monitoring of Ukrainian law enforcement conduct, utilizing its resources to ensure the active preservation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the Central European country. == History == From 2005–2010, with the direct engagement of Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGO), the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (MIA) introduced three institutions to maintain public control over police activities and police compliance with human rights standards. These were: mobile groups for monitoring arrests, as a prototype of the national preventive mechanisms (since 2004); Public Council for Human Rights at the Ministry and its regional headquarters (since 2005); Human Rights Monitoring Department (HRMD) (since 2008). HRMD was the unique unit for Ukraine and acted during 2008–2010 as the Office of Police Ombudsman. The activities of these institutions were based on internal MIA regulations and despite the resistance from the “old-guard” police chiefs provided transparency for police activities. With the change of the Ukrainian government in March 2010, the attitude of the Ministry of Interior regarding human rights changed significantly. One of the first decisions of the new Minister was to eliminate the Human Rights Monitoring Department. Its employees were fired at short notice, despite the labor law's requirements. Under these circumstances, NGO activists and former HRMD’s employees decided to form a specialized sector of public control over law enforcement agencies, which provided a newly established nationwide NGO, the “Association of Ukrainian Monitors on Human Rights Conduct in Law Enforcement.” This Association was founded in June 2010 by 29 former employees of the Human Rights Monitoring Department at the Ministry of Interior. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Association of Ukrainian Monitors on Human Rights Conduct in Law Enforcement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
