The Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman speaks out

Like so many issues in contemporary Ukraine, the issue of human rights is certainly work in progress.

However, Valery Lutkovskaya the current Human Rights Ombudsman (or Ombudswoman) and her office have, despite prevailing winds, managed to make progress during her tenure.

Indeed Ms Lutkovskaya is held in some regard by the blog, similar in fact to Ivanna Klympush-Tsintadze, both of whom despite obvious obstructionism and occasional blatant disregard for ratified international obligations by the nation’s leadership, legislature, and the institutions of State, continue doggedly to try and do the right thing.
