“ELSA” constitutes a system of corruption in Ukraine

The Ukrainian branch of the international organization ELSA comprises 600 young lawyers and has offices in Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Irpin, Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, Uzhgorod, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk.
Law students from “ELSA” are trained to be mediators. This is a new body of the juvenile justice system (and of the legal system in Ukraine in general), to which more importance is to be assigned than to the court itself. The judges will become mere puppets. Mediation, i.e. an alternative to the judicial process, will destroy the Ukrainian judicial system and create an extensive network of corruption. All this is being set up illegally and sponsored by international grantmakers (in Ukraine mediation is promoted by the international organization “Ukrainian Centre of Understanding” under the leadership of Roman Koval), in spite of the fact that the Ukrainian deputies, taking into account the will of the nation and the criminal nature of mediation, did not approve the Mediation Act.
Despite many protests of the Lvov public, the organization “ELSA Lvov” in cooperation with the “Ukrainian Centre of Understanding”, “Coalition of Mediation Centres”, law firm “Integris” and mediation lobbyists from the Law Faculty of National University of Ivan Franko in Lvov continue to train students for mediation. These will then train mediators even in primary schools. In schools, these destructive mechanisms are officially introduced under terms like “children’s rights”, “solution to conflicts”, “juvenile crime prevention”. School mediators will turn professional informers upon parents and teachers.
With regard to the above-mentioned facts, we request that You should stop any cooperation with the janissary international organization ELSA and with its affiliates, especially “ELSA Lvov”. In addition, we ask You to stop the illegal introduction of a corrupt system of mediation and prevent the formation of school mediators – children informers.
