During participation of the OSCE Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting “Lawmaking for Democratic Resilience” held in Vienna ARC expert Borys Babin participated in the set of NGO-organised side-events, such as “Parliament’s Lawmaking: Ukraine Between the War and European Integration”, “Weaponizing Legislation: Authoritarian Lawmaking in Georgia”, “Threats to Judicial Independence, Democratic Law-Making and Democratic Resilience in Serbia”, “Democratic Law-Making, Impact Assessments and Gender-Sensitive Postlegislative Scrutiny: Tools for Democratic Resilience” and others. The role of civil society in supporting legislative quality, public consultation, EU acquis alignment, and independent monitoring was discussed, including issues of countering Russian aggression.
Professor Babin shared with side-event participants from various OSCE states the results and achievements of our Association in areas of countering Russian war crimes against prisoners of war, civil hostages, and deported children in Crimea.
The summaries of ARC investigations in areas of aggressor’s artificial intelligence manipulations, illegal Crimean crewing activities, involvement of Russia-controlled Crimean structures in financing terrorism, connections of Russia-controlled “Friends of Crimea” with the Epstein case and with deported Ukrainian minors, as well as issues of aggressor’s illegal militarization and indoctrination of Crimean youth, were presented.
