Conference Agenda | Conference SponsorsSupport for Our Colleagues in UkraineAs the world has its eyes on the tragic events taking place in Ukraine, we want to share a personal appeal from one of IACA’s long time members, Natalia Chumack, leader of the Association for Judicial Administrators of Ukraine’s Court Management Institute. In the appeal below, Natalia offers a first-hand glimpse into what is happening in Ukraine and offers some ways we can help.
Dear international professional community of court administrators! I am Natalia Chumak and I am a leader of the Association of Judicial Administrators of Ukraine "Court Management Institute". Today the whole world knows that on 24 February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Not only military facilities, but also civilian areas and objects (residential buildings, hospitals, kindergartens, etc.) are under the indiscriminate attack of the Russian forces. The brutal and cynical war started by Russia not only threatens the sovereignty of Ukraine, but also jeopardizes the security system of the entire world. The ongoing heroic battle of Ukrainian soldiers and all Ukrainian people currently prevents the expansion of Putin's tyrannical dictatorship further into Western Europe. Today, my colleagues continue to serve Ukraine. Most perform their professional duties in the courts in the realities of wartime. Someone took up arms in defense of Ukraine and its citizens. Some became a volunteer. My friend Olena, a court administrator from Kharkiv, has endured the horrendous intense bombardment of her hometown for several days, along with her newborn granddaughter, who came into this world three days before the start of the Russian invasion. I remain in Kyiv, fulfill my professional duties and I'm ready to help my city survive. I am writing this appeal between air raid alerts, and my family is now in my hometown near Kyiv. The name of this small defenseless town is Borodianka. He was wiped off the face of the earth by Russian tanks and planes just because he was on their way to Kiev. His name has become a symbol of the genocide of the Ukrainian people, and the whole civilized world must know about it. |
