The Crimean Human Rights Group submitted a submission to the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee regarding the impact of russian disinformation on the enjoyment and realisation of human rights.
The submission examines the role of disinformation, in particular in the form of propaganda, and its detrimental impact on human rights, especially in coercive environments. It highlights how state-owned and state-controlled media outlets disseminate false narratives and manipulate facts to incite violence and human rights violations. The submission underscores the particular risks to vulnerable groups, such as minorities, activists, and civilians, who become targets of discrimination, persecution, and violence as a result of these distorted narratives.
