In 2022, Ukraine notified the Council of Europe of derogations to several articles of the European Convention on Human Rights resulting from the Russian aggression and ongoing state of war in the country. Ukraine regularly updates the Council of Europe about these derogations. As of 4 April 2024 - contrary to some media reports based on false information - the scope of the derogations has been significantly reduced. Ukraine announced earlier this month that the derogations would no longer cover articles Articles 4.3 (related to forced or compulsory labour), 9 (freedom of thought, conscience or religion), 13 (right to an effective remedy), 14 (prohibition of discrimination) and 16 (restrictions on political activity of aliens) of the Convention.
