UKRAINE ON ITS WAY TO COMBAT RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA

Abstract

Ombudsman office has been very active, the Ministry of Interior has set up a distinct unit only to investigate these crimes, Security Services of Ukraine have done likewise and set up coordination mechanisms. My office meets with every one of these regularly and discusses trends and problems and approaches. And this is the model for other countries, where civic society and government and international organizations are working together to address an issue, and it’s good.
