understanding of the human rights of women. It further recommends the
establishment of institutions to provide protection and assistance to victims
of violence and discrimination.

include information on any developments regarding the new legislation
regulating trade unions rights, including the right to strike.
274. The Committee urges the Government to elaborate, as part of the
preparatory work for the 1996 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements
(Habitat II), a comprehensive national plan of action with respect to housing
and to make it available to the Committee, along with information on its
subsequent implementation, in time for the consideration of Ukraine’s fourth
periodic report. In this connection, the Committee recommends that the next
report also include detailed information on the 1992 State Privatization Act,
as well as any other housing laws that might be enacted in the meantime, and
on their impact on the enjoyment of the right to adequate housing by the
people of Ukraine.
275. The Committee recommends that the Government continue to make full use
of international assistance in the collection and analysis of data in general,
including data regarding the most vulnerable groups of persons, and in
addressing their needs. Such categories of persons include pensioners, the
unemployed, children with disabilities and children assigned to homes or
institutions, members of repatriated minority groups and victims of the
Chernobyl accident. With regard to the latter group, the Committee urges that
special assistance and medical care be further granted to the persons
concerned and that special measures continue to be taken to clean the
environment and to dispose of contaminated objects and consumable items with
which people may come into contact.
276. The Committee recommends that steps be taken to incorporate human rights
education in all school curricula, in accordance with the goals and objectives
of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education, and that education in
the field of human rights be provided to law enforcement officials.
277. The Committee suggests that the Government request the United Nations
Centre for Human Rights to evaluate the assistance needs of Ukraine in order
that the State party might draw on the technical assistance programmes
available from the Centre, in particular for the Ukrainian National Centre for
Human Rights.
