"Since the beginning of Russia's brutal and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, the Council of Europe has been actively supporting Ukraine in its judiciary reforms, even more so after Ukraine was granted EU candidate status last June. As part of the Action Plan on Resilience, Recovery, and Reconstruction 2023-2026, the co-operation projects in Ukraine were adapted to support accession-related reforms, including reform of the judiciary. Such projects focus on human rights protection in criminal proceedings and a victim-centered approach", declared Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić while addressing the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2024) in Berlin.
The conference is a continuation of the annual series of high-level political events dedicated to the swift recovery and long-term reconstruction of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war of aggression. The key goal is to mobilise continued international support for recovery, reconstruction, reform, and modernization of the country.
