🇺🇦🇪🇺 31 Years of Ukraine’s Membership in the Council of Europe
On this day in 1995, Ukraine joined the Council of Europe, marking a historic step towards European integration and reaffirming its commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
Over these 31 years, Ukraine has become a party to more than 90 Council of Europe conventions, strengthened its democratic institutions and advanced important reforms in close cooperation with the Venice Commission and the Organisation’s monitoring bodies.
Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine has become a defining challenge for Europe and the values upon which the Council of Europe was founded. In March 2022, Russia was expelled from the Organisation — an unprecedented decision in response to its aggression against Ukraine.
The Fourth Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe in Reykjavík in 2023 marked a historic turning point, placing accountability for Russia’s aggression, justice for victims and Ukraine’s recovery at the heart of the Organisation’s priorities.
These commitments have translated into concrete steps towards establishing a comprehensive international accountability and compensation mechanism, including:
* The Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine;
* The Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine;
* The International Claims Commission for Ukraine, as a key component of the future international compensation mechanism.
The Council of Europe also continues to support Ukraine’s democratic resilience, institutional reforms and recovery through its Action Plans for Ukraine, while consistently reaffirming Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
Today, Ukraine is not only defending its own freedom and sovereignty but also standing at the forefront of the defence of Europe’s shared values and the international legal order.
31 years together — united by values, strengthened by solidarity and committed to justice, accountability and a lasting peace based on international law. 🇺🇦View quoted post on X
