New Scientific Publication in "Law of Ukraine" (No. 5/2026)
The Institute for System Statistical Studies (ISSS) is pleased to announce the publication of the article "Preventing Systemic Human Rights Violations: Mechanisms of Interaction Between the United Nations and International Organizations" in the peer-reviewed journal Law of Ukraine (No. 5/2026, pp. 54–67, DOI: 10.33498/louu-2026-05-054).
Authors: Prof. Igor G. Mantsurov (Director, ISSS), Prof. h.c. Rafał Marcin Wasik (Secretary General, IHRC), Dr. Iryna Stolietova.
_*Conceptual foundations*_
The article substantiates a methodological approach in which contemporary human rights violations must be understood not as isolated legal facts but as systemic, interconnected phenomena generating cumulative demographic, economic, institutional, and humanitarian consequences. Through systemic analysis, the authors identify structural weaknesses in the existing international human rights architecture — institutional fragmentation, decision-making inertia, weak coordination mechanisms, political asymmetry, and the persistent dominance of reactive over preventive approaches.
The proposed systemic analytical model links human rights violations to demographic degradation, economic destabilization, and the accumulation of long-term structural risk, positioning preventive governance not as a declarative aspiration but as an instrumentally grounded strategy — built on integrated analytical systems, early-warning mechanisms, and interdisciplinary coordination of decision-making at global and national levels.
Particular attention is given to the growing role of institutional innovation and emerging global governance actors — most notably the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC), whose analytical and coordinating capacity is treated as a structural component of the future architecture for preventing systemic crises. Ukraine is examined as an empirical case demonstrating both the systemic nature of contemporary human rights violations and the practical applicability of the proposed framework.
_*ISSS–IHRC cooperation: next steps*_
This publication marks not the conclusion but the starting point of a continued partnership between ISSS and IHRC. The next stage of cooperation will involve preparing a comprehensive analytical study on the systemic human rights violations committed in the course of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, applying the methodological framework developed in this article.
The purpose of this work extends beyond scholarly documentation: it is intended to build an evidence-based analytical foundation suitable for submission to the international community — with the prospect of presenting its findings for discussion at the United Nations General Assembly. ISSS and IHRC view this as the practical realization of the preventive-governance concept articulated in the article: a shift from documenting violations to exerting systemic, evidence-based influence on global decision-making processes.
