Civil Network Opora

One of the leading non-governmental and non-partisan All-Ukrainian organizations for public oversight and advocacy in the field of elections, parliamentarism, education, joint ownership, energy efficiency, local self-government, as well as the comprehensive implementation of the principle of open data. After February 24, 2022 we explored the skills and expertise OPORA was able to to invest in the future. Our lawyers upskilled to become experts in international humanitarian law, drawing upon the best available experience and practices globally. We started tracking hate speech, events, statements, and decisions on the Russian Federation’s territory that directly impact Ukraine. OPORA is doing its utmost is assisting Ukraine in following legitimate pathways to transition to a civilian governance system after the war, aiming to resume and reform all democratic institutions. The expertise we built in the previous years and during the full-scale invasion was in demand during international testimonies, including ones in the US Congress, the Senate of Canada, and the European Parliament.
