Working with lawyers in our network who are committing their time and expertise pro bono, PILnet is developing resources and obtaining legal assistance to support those affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
PILnet and our legal and civil society partners are developing legal resources to strengthen the resilience of CSOs and to assist people fleeing from Ukraine.
