After the previous 3rd cycle of Universal Periodic Review of the Russian Federation, new human rights issues have emerged. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian troops, security services and Russian-controlled armed groups have committed gross violations of international humanitarian and human rights law against civilians in the territories that have been or remain under the Russian control. The numerous violations include among others torture and ill-treatment, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and deportations of the civilian population. Cases of torture and enforced disappearances committed by Russian armed forces in territories under their control are systematic and directed against specific groups of the civilian population.
