Ukraine Legal Network
Supporting Ukrainian survivors of international crimes in their fight for justice, accountability and reparation.
We are a group of Ukrainian and international lawyers and activists working with and for Ukrainian survivors in the Netherlands in their search for justice and redress.
Our vision is to
reflect victim priorities
and facilitate victim engagement in justice processes.
Ukraine Legal Network (ULN), a project of The Nuhanovic Foundation, was setup in 2023 as a response to the large number of atrocity crimes being committed in Ukraine and, more importantly, to the needs of Ukrainian survivors.
As a civil society organisation with deep ties to domestic and international justice mechanisms in the Netherlands and experience in engaging survivor communities, we want to make access to justice for Ukrainian survivors in the Netherlands a reality.
