Employer of a PIC member participating in the Crimea-recognition methodology

Centre of Civic Education Almenda is documented on CrimeaWatch because its human rights expert and national expert for council of europe projects in ukraine, Mariia Krasnenko, serves on the Public Integrity Council (fourth composition) — the body whose methodology treats occupied Crimea as equivalent to Russian territory.


Why This Profile Exists#

A civic education center whose expert works on Council of Europe projects — the same Council of Europe that affirms Ukraine’s territorial integrity — tolerates its staff’s participation in methodology that implicitly recognizes Russian jurisdiction over Crimea.


Summary#

Centre of Civic Education Almenda is documented on this site for its institutional tolerance of Mariia Krasnenko’s participation in the PIC’s Crimea-recognition methodology.
