Need an expert on Belarus or Ukraine?

We have been committed to protecting human rights in Belarus since 2009, and in Ukraine, we have been active since 2014. Our employees travel regularly – as far as possible – to both countries, and we are in constant exchange with our local partner organisations, as well as initiatives and individuals on the ground.

If you would like to receive comments, particularly from a German and European perspective, on human rights issues in Belarus and Ukraine, as well as the current situation there, please feel free to contact LIBERECO. We are always available to answer media enquiries.
