The Human Rights Centre ZMINA (formerly the Human Rights Information Center[1]) is a human rights focused non-profit and non-partisan organization based in Kyiv, Ukraine. ZMINA was founded on 15 August, 2012 by Tetiana Pechonchyk, Maksym Butkevych and Maryna Hovorukhina[1][2].

After the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, ZMINA concentrated its efforts on documenting war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Russian armed forces in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine[3]. During this time, ZMINA became one of the initiators of the creation of the "Ukraine 5AM Coalition" — a union of human rights organizations that also collect and document war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine. The coalition won the Open Society Award of the Central European University[4] and received an award from the German Institute for International Relations Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen[5] for its contribution to the promotion of intercultural relations through social, socio-political or artistic activities.
