Oleksandra Drik

Head of the Board, Civic Lustration Committee

Ukraine

Chairs the Board of the Civic Lustration Committee — an NGO created during Euromaidan in 2014 with the aim to purify the government from elites of the previous non-democratic regime and individuals engaged in large-scale corruption. The NGO has drafted the Law on Government Cleansing, ensured its adoption by the Parliament, and has been monitoring its execution by state agencies since October 2014. The NGO has also engaged in a constructive dialogue with the Venice Commission that gave its final opinion on the Law, defended the Law from numerous attacks and cancellation attempts, ensured public control over the execution of the Law and created the largest in Ukraine open database of individuals subject to lustration prohibitions.
