Eugene Czolij, Chairman of the Committee on the Protection of Rights of the Ukrainian World Congress and its Network
On 18 June 2024, the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment deciding that Russia violated article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights in designating the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) as an “undesirable organisation”. Such designation is applied when Russia determines “that the organisation undermines the foundations of the Russian constitutional order, defence capabilities, or national security of Russia”.
On 11 July 2019, Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office declared the UWC an “undesirable organisation”, attributing to it such “anti-Russian activities” as: “advocating for a change of government in Russia and the return of Crimea to Ukraine, calls to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons and to strengthen sanctions against Russia, revising the shared history of Russia and Ukraine, undermining Orthodoxy in Ukraine, halting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline construction, and limiting the use of the Russian language in Ukraine’s cultural domain”.
