An appeal of the President of UAP Oleksandr Shynalskyi
 


 

Dear friends and colleagues!

 

 

Spring that comes to Ukraine brings warmth, fresh wind and new life. Not only nature wakes up from the winter sleep, but our country in which we live and work wakes up too. It is difficult for Ukraine to awake shedding new branches, just like a tree, simultaneously throwing off the old leaves and parasites.

 

The country and its people have a great chance to become strong, wealthy and happy.

 

And you, dear colleagues and friends, know what should be done.

 

Today it is very important to you as the people who stand on the guard of the law, to be fair, to be restrained and above all to stop fearing.

 

You need not fear for the honest execution of the duties. You need to worry about an inside and outside pressure on you.

 

You should understand that public organizations and society may support you if you yourself will not permit low-breaking and violation of human rights, and in the first place, your rights, the rights of the people the State has trusted to protect the law to.

 

If we are not able to protect our prosecutor’s independence, all the more we will not be able protect the law.

 

On May 22, 2012, the activity of the All-Ukrainian public organization “Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors” was actually prohibited by the decision of the collegium of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine.

 

Against the prominent success of the first Ukrainian public organization of prosecutors  in education of young generation of prosecutor’s workers, against the active cooperation with Chernobyl and Afghans organizations, the vigorous activity in the international organizations and holding international conferences on the top-level, the administration of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has made a conclusion that the prosecutors cannot be the members of the Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors, as the organization that prevents the sole leadership of the prosecution authorities.

 

During some days in May, 2012, thousands of prosecutors wrote applications for the withdrawal from the Association under pressure. At that time we got hundreds of phone calls and held a dozen of meetings with our colleagues from the whole Ukraine.

 

For most of you the choice was difficult. You had to decide to be a member of public organization or to become unemployed. We understood the current situation at that time.

 

However, during the long time we received the official requests from the administration of the Prosecutor General’s Office about urgent providing the list of persons who did not leave the ranks of the Association. They demanded to indicate your surnames and addresses. And there are a lot of you remained.

 

We do not say to the persons who tried to abolish the public organization: “God will judge!” Everyone has to answer for his actions and not only to God but to those they humiliated, breaking roughly the Constitution of Ukraine.

 

Dear colleagues and friends!

 

Taking into consideration that applications for the withdrawal from the Association were written under pressure of the officials, on May 25, 2012, the Executive Committee of the Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors made a decision on reinstatement of the Association members immediately after receiving the requests of their resignations recall.

 

Each of you, who continue to consider oneself as a member of the Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors, may inform to the Association’s office about the membership renewing. In case of loss of the identity card of the Association’s member it is necessary to submit an application about issuance of the new one.

 

In this difficult time for our country and for prosecutors the Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors will exert its best efforts to promote the prosecution authorities carrying out their tasks and to restore a positive image of the prosecution bodies of Ukraine as well.

 

 

 

 

On behalf of the Executive Committee

the President

of the Ukrainian Association of Prosecutors

                                                                                                                    Oleksandr Shynalskyi
