Preserving democratic institutions during the armed conflict has been an essential challenge for the Ukrainian government since 2014. Ensuring human rights observation is a crucial component of that task. My research project aims to assess the challenges to human rights implementation in the frontline communities in Donbas since 2014. I will try to determine which rights were prioritized and which, on the contrary, faced systemic violations. The project will also assess how the human rights implementation mechanisms adjusted to the challenges created by the international conflict during different stages of the Russo-Ukrainian war: the hybrid period from 2014 to February 2022 and the full-scale war since February 2022 to account for possible differences in fulfilling human rights obligations during different types of conflict. Thus, it will help to better understand the challenges to human rights implementation and observation in the communities on the frontline of an international conflict.
