Recent Events in Ukraine

The Center of Probation of Ukraine has been a valued and respected member of the Confederation of European Probation (CEP). CEP has advised and assisted the Center in the development of community sanctions and measures in Ukraine. The Law of Ukraine “On probation” was adopted on 5th February 2015.

Violence is never the solution.

CEP supports our Ukrainian colleagues in the defence of their homeland and looks forward to their continued participation in CEP in the future.

As a sign of respect and support for our Ukrainian colleagues at this time, the CEP Board has decided to nominate the Center of Probation of Ukraine as an honorary member of CEP for a period to be determined by the Board.
