Recovery Must Include Everyone: Over 100 Signatures Collected for the Statement of Human Rights Organisations on the Rights of People in the TOT

July 9, 2025

For a week, national and international humanitarian and human rights organisations have been collecting signatures in support of their Unlocking the Potential for Recovery by Guaranteeing the Rights and Inclusion of Ukrainians from the Temporarily Occupied Territories Statement. On the last day of the collection, the number of signatures under the Statement reached over 100.

They had called for joining the Statement, which addressed international donors and the government of Ukraine and recommends to:

• integrate the needs of TOT residents into all recovery directions;
• prioritise funding for documenting violations, establishing transitional justice mechanisms, and developing reintegration services and safe evacuation routes for Ukrainians in the TOT;
• promote the inclusion of both property and non-property losses and damage caused by human rights violations since 2014 in international mechanisms for compensation;
• develop and implement a national system for collecting, analysing and monitoring data on human rights violations.

"No roadmap for recovery can be implemented without a clear commitment to ensure the rights, needs, and future of every citizen of Ukraine, no matter where they are today," the Statement reads.

The full text of the Statement is available here.
