The Russian and Ukrainian war since 2022 has caught the attention of the international community and the public all over the world due to the situation in Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula. Most people are considering that the just end of the war means the victory of Ukraine and the restoration of its territorial integrity and sovereignty on all its territory, including the Crimean Peninsula. Some part of the international public and international organizations know that the Crimean Peninsula factor is connected with the existence of indigenous peoples on this peninsula, the biggest of which is the Crimean Tatars, whose origin are in the Crimean Peninsula is the mixture of ancient tribes and ethnic groups that composed finally the people of Crimean Tatars, who even had their own independent national state, which is named Crimean Khanate, Unfortunately for Crimean Tatars as formally deported by Stalin and originally indigenous people of the peninsula the Ukrainian policy over the Crimea was not meaning the recognition of the rights of Crimean Tatars in accordance with the standards established by the international law for human rights for the rights of indigenous peoples and for the rights of the peoples this is illusion that only the existence of the independent Ukrainian states even so called democratic Ukrainian states guarantees these rights as itself. This article is intended to illustrate the problem as it is, indeed.
