What is the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties?
As
we've just heard, the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties (CGS) is one
of the joint winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
CGS
is one of Ukraine’s leading human rights organizations. It was founded
in 2007, when leaders of human rights organizations from nine
post-Soviet countries decided to create a cross-border resource support
centre in Kyiv.
