European Dimension (Sumy)
⚠️ Violation Context
The Sumy Regional Public Organization European Dimension delegated Roman Sukhostavets to the Public Integrity Council’s first and second compositions. His powers as a member ended on 23 January 2020 — before the revised Indicators of Integrity were adopted on 16 December 2020, and after the original Indicators were adopted on 11 January 2019.
This is one of the narrowest records in this registry, and it is stated at that width. The organization took part in neither the 2023 nor the 2025 cycle.
This profile does not allege that European Dimension has made any statement recognizing Crimea as Russian territory. It has not. Nor does it allege that its delegate voted for the revised text of paragraph 1.5 — he had left the Council eleven months earlier.
Ukrainian Law Violations (applicable through institutional sponsorship):#
- Constitution of Ukraine, Article 2 — Territory of Ukraine is indivisible and inviolable.
- Constitution of Ukraine, Articles 73, 133–134 — Crimea is defined as an integral part of Ukraine.
- Law of Ukraine No. 1207-VII (2014) — Crimea is Ukrainian territory under temporary occupation, not foreign territory.
🏛️ About
European Dimension (Sumy)#
A regional organization whose involvement ended before the December 2020 revision
The Sumy Regional Public Organization European Dimension is documented on CrimeaWatch as one of the organizations that took part in forming the Public Integrity Council, having delegated Roman Sukhostavets to the Council’s first and second compositions.
Why This Profile Exists#
This site publishes the complete registry of organizations that formed the Public Integrity Council, drawn from the Council’s own composition rosters and from published decisions of the High Qualification Commission of Judges. A registry published in full includes the small and regional entries as well as the large national ones; omitting them would make it a selection rather than a record.
European Dimension’s delegate served from 2016 until 23 January 2020. That period covers the adoption of the original Indicators of Integrity on 11 January 2019 and ends eleven months before the revised text containing paragraph 1.5 was adopted on 16 December 2020.
The Limits of What Is Recorded#
The delegate was not present for the December 2020 vote. Roman Sukhostavets’s powers ended on 23 January 2020. This page does not attribute the revised wording of paragraph 1.5 to him or to the organization that delegated him.
Registration data is incomplete. The organization’s registration code could not be established from the sources used for this profile, and its current operating status is not recorded here. The confidence level on this page is set to medium accordingly.
There is no involvement after January 2020. European Dimension appears in neither of the HQCJ decisions forming the third and fourth compositions.
What This Profile Does Not Claim#
CrimeaWatch documents no statement by European Dimension recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, and none is alleged here. Delegation is not a vote: the organization’s delegate voted on the Council’s business during his term, the organization did not.
Nomination Record#
In the assembly that formed the Council’s first composition in 2016, the organization put forward one candidate and that candidate was seated. It shared no nominee with any other organization in that cycle. Across the assembly as a whole, nine organizations submitted 30 nominations covering 24 distinct people for 20 seats, and 6 of the 20 members elected were nominated by two organizations at once.
Cross-nomination is permitted by the procedure and is not in itself irregular. It is recorded here because the authority of the Council’s Indicators of Integrity rests on the breadth of the body that adopts them, and the published candidate tables are the only public measure of that breadth. See Who Vetted the Vetters for the full arithmetic.
Response and Corrections#
European Dimension may submit a response or a correction request to [email protected]. Submissions are assessed against the underlying sources. Where a statement on this page is shown to be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, the profile is amended and the correction is recorded.
CrimeaWatch does not publish responses verbatim and gives no undertaking to reproduce them. What a verified response changes is the content of this profile.
