Today, all Ukrainian society is waiting for the adoption of the lustration bill, however many parliamentarians do everything to prevent it. One of the ideas proposed by the deputy of the Party of Regions faction, Anna Herman, is to talk about lustration through recourse to international bodies.

Lustration was one of EuroMaidan’s social postulations. Its conduct will help restore people’s trust in the authorities. The Open Dialogue Foundation supports reforms in Ukraine by actively engaging in, amongst other things, work on the Act on Lustration.

On the 15th July 2014, together with a group of initiating deputies, Yehor Sobolev’s Lustration Committee filed with the Verhovna Rada of Ukraine an amended draft of the act on lustration review.

The Lustration Committee, headed by Yehor Sobolev, actively supported by the Open Dialogue Foundation, has developed a draft law “On the purging of the government”, which might be the legal basis for the lustration process in Ukraine.

Yehor Sobolev, accompanied by representatives of the Open Dialogue Foundation – Lyudmyla Kozlovska, Anastasia Khorna and Anne Souléliac, met with French MPs, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian community in Paris, where he talked about lustration in Ukraine.
