Parubiy Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine City of Kyiv 1 March 2018 No 2310-VIII A/72/798 S/2018/232 18-04732 3/7 الضميمة Address of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to the international community in regard of organization of illegal elections of the President of the Russian Federation at the temporary occupied territories of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol On 20 February 2014, the Russian Federation launched a number of aggressive actions against Ukraine that within a week amounted to direct military invasion and temporary occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, that are integral parts of the sovereign territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. (...) Organization of so-called “elections” of the President of the Russian Federation at the occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is yet another effort to legitimize an attempt to illegal annexation. (...) Utilize all possible means to prevent the government of the Russian Federation and the occupation authority from holding elections at the temporary occupied territories of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. 2. Should elections at the temporary occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol held, condemn it, withhold from dispatching monitors to the region in both national and international groups, and outline the fact of illegitimate voting at the temporary occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol that substantially distorts the overall outcome of the elections within the Russian Federation in reports of the monitoring missions, including those dispatched under the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE mandate. 3.

(...) The report is set against the backdrop of the designation of Derry/Londonderry as UK City of Culture 2013. The experience of that city as City of Culture is used as a case study in relation to the realisation of cultural rights in a post-conflict society. As part of the UK City of Culture initiative, the Commission organised a conference and consultation on cultural rights in divided and post-conflict societies in association with the University of Ulster and in co-operation with the UN Special Rapporteur in the Field of Cultural Rights, Ms Farida Shaheed.

As a result of the occupation, Shusha city and 30 villages of Shusha district were destroyed, 195 innocent civilians were killed, 165 were wounded and 58 persons went missing. (...) Along with being an inalienable part of the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan, occupied Shusha city has outstanding historical, cultural, moral and symbolic meaning for the people of Azerbaijan. Occupation of Shusha city - known as “Cradle of the Azerbaijani music”, “Conservatory of the Orient” inflicted heavy damage to the cultural, spiritual and moral heritage of the people of Azerbaijan.

In the morning, students and teachers are stopped and detained at the gates to the old city of Jerusalem without any reasons, resulting in delayed access to school. (...) The plans seek to achieve a set of goals, including: - Eliminating the presence of schools in the old city of Jerusalem. Israel will seize control of these heritage school buildings, ultimately transforming the old city of Jerusalem into a tourist destination (...) - After they are shut down, heritage buildings housing Palestinian schools in the old city of Jerusalem will be seized. To this avail, students who are not residents of the old city of Jerusalem will not be registered at these schools, which are run by the Israeli Jerusalem Municipality and MoE.

The Special Rapporteur visited settlements, slums, holdings and squats, as well as State-run housing construction projects in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the greater Buenos Aires area and the city of Ushuaia.
