Joint NGO position paper on draft law no. 3593-d in Ukraine
10 March 2017Members' publicationsThe objective of this draft law “On the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine” is to state that what happens in occupied territory is not the concern of Ukraine government but the responsibility of Russia. If adopted, this will lead to a de-facto partition of the country.
In this joint position paper several NGOs, including VOICE members, state their commitment to the protection and promotion of rights and freedoms despite limited access to the people in need, diminishing resources, and restrictive legislative and administrative frameworks. They argue the Draft Law will not only compound these challenges, it will countervail the only existing initiative for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, a resolution which would end significant human suffering. As such, they call for the withdrawal of draft law No 3593-d from parliament.
