None of political parties have put forward a concrete proposal for investigating and punishing endemic police criminality in Ukraine, reads a statement of Amnesty International published on Tuesday, October 16.

"In a number of recent surveys, between 63.9% and 84% of Ukrainians have said that they don't trust their police force," reads the document.

According to Amnesty International, parliamentarians ahead of parliamentary elections on October 28 should commit publicly to addressing police abuse in the country.

"Amnesty International is therefore concerned by politicians’ failure to put concrete proposals on how to address police abuse to the electorate," reads the press release.

"Amnesty International's report highlighted the widespread and systemic nature of police abuse in Ukraine, encouraged by prosecutors who refuse to investigate complaints against their colleagues in the police force. It called for the immediate establishment of an independent institution to effectively investigate allegations of human rights violations by law enforcement officials," reads the document.

According to the press release, in meetings with Amnesty International last month the current administration and major opposition parties expressed support for such a body, formed under the new Criminal Procedure Code. However, each has yet to publicly commit to establishing an independent institution for complaints against police.
