Between Rights, Security, and Resilience: A New Approach to Accountability for Collaboration

Duration
60’

Today, the policy of accountability for collaboration faces a critical challenge: How can we ensure justice, protect national security, and preserve social cohesion?

We invite you to a discussion about a new, comprehensive approach to this policy — one that is not only punitive but also strategic: one that considers the human dimension, strengthens public trust in the state, and fosters societal resilience.

We will explore three perspectives — three systems of coordinates:

  • Human rights: How to ensure legal clarity and the right to a fair trial, even under the challenging conditions of war;

  • National security: Why it is essential to have clear standards regarding loyalty and punishment for collaboration with the enemy.

  • Societal resilience: How to prevent polarisation and maintain trust among groups with different wartime experiences.

Is a compromise possible? We will discuss the risks of polarisation, the diverse views across communities on what counts as “acceptable” collaboration, and how policies that ignore these differences may undermine the idea of a shared future.

Speakers:
Anna Kozmenko, Lawyer at the Strategic Litigation Centre of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union
Yuliia Tyshchenko, Co-founder of the National Platform for Resilience and Cohesion
Serhiy Danylov, Deputy Director at the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies

Moderator: Myroslav Lavrinok, Head of the Analytical Department at the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union

Organisers: Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union & NGO Docudays
