On behalf of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union I would like to thank you for your understanding and support for our work. Thanks to you dozens of people each day receive help and protection from arbitrary treatment by officials. Your help makes it possible for us to run strategic litigations which change court practice in Ukraine and bring court proceedings closer to the standards of justice.

 

Thanks to you we are training lawyers to be real advocates for human rights. With your support we are teaching people to defend themselves and

be aware as citizens of their country. Each litigation which we win; each right which we uphold is our joint victory, our shared achievement, and we promise to fight on. And we will be grateful if you stay with us!

 

A special thank you to the International Renaissance Foundation; the Open Society Institute; the National Endowment for Democracy; the Norwegian Helsinki Committee; the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation; the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ukraine; the UN Development Programmes; the Office of the European Union in Ukraine; the US Embassy in Ukraine; the Council of Europe; the Human Rights House Foundation; and the Microsoft Foundation.

 

Yours sincerely,

Arkady Bushchenko

Executive Director, Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union
