  • (POMED) Mourns the Loss of Ambassador Mark Palmer, Who Passed Away This Week Following a Long Fight Against Cancer
    www.pomed.org · 1611 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 300 · Washington, DC 20009 The Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED) mourns the loss of Ambassador Mark Palmer, who passed away this week following a long fight against cancer. Ambassador Palmer was one of POMED’s most important supporters, a member of our Board of Advisers since 2007, and one of the world’s leading champions of democracy and human rights. No one has better exemplified POMED’s founding principles and our mission of supporting democracy through research, advocacy, and dialogue. For more than 25 years, Ambassador Palmer was a leading pro-democracy voice within the U.S. government, where he helped establish the National Endowment for Democracy and served as Ambassador to Hungary from 1986 to 1990, supporting Hungary’s transition from dictatorship to its first free, multiparty elections in 1990. After leaving government, he played a key role in numerous pro-democracy nongovernmental organizations. In addition to serving on POMED’s Board of Advisers, he also served on the Board of Freedom House and was a co-founder of the Council for a Community of Democracies. He also supported democracy by investing directly in independent media in Central and Eastern Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East. Ambassador Palmer also authored the book Breaking the Real Axis of Evil: How to Oust the World’s Last Dictators by 2025. Its policy recommendations formed the basis for the ADVANCE Democracy Act, a key piece of legislation passed by Congress in July 2007 requiring numerous steps to elevate the promotion of democracy and human rights as a goal of U.S.

  • Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper)
    Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper) Authors: Kateryna Handzyuk, Serhiy Nikitenko JULY, 2017 Abstract The local elections in Ukraine conducted in October 2015 under a new law caused a number of problems and quite distorted the representation balance. In addition, the innovations introduced by the Law on the Status of Local Council Members into the council members recall procedure and mechanism based on the people’s initiative instigated tensions and conflicts on the ground. By analysing the modern Ukrainian practices, the authors propose the way out of the current complicated situation through amendment of the legislation and development of efficient instruments to regulate the representation problem with one of the proposals being assignment of each local council member to a certain constituency and making them accountable to its voters.

  • Ukraine Local Elections, 25 October 2015
    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN UKRAINE (25 October 2015) Report by Andrej PLENKOVIĆ, ChaIr of the Delegation Annexes: A - List of Participants B - EP Delegation press statement C - IEOM Preliminary Findings and Conclusions on 1st round and on 2nd round 1 IntroductIon On 10 September 2015, the Conference of Presidents authorised the sending of an Election Observation Delegation, composed of 7 members, to observe the local elections in Ukraine scheduled for 25 October 2015. The Election Observation Delegation was composed of Andrej Plenkovič (EPP, Croatia), Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP, Sweden), Tonino Picula (S&D, Croatia), Clare Moody (S&D, United Kingdom), Jussi Halla-aho (ECR, Finland), Kaja Kallas (ALDE, Estonia) and Miloslav Ransdorf (GUE, Czech Republic). It conducted its activities in Ukraine between 23 and 26 October, and was integrated in the International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) organised by ODIHR, together with the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. On election-day, members were deployed in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk. Programme of the DelegatIon In the framework of the International Election Observation Mission, the EP Delegation cooperated with the Delegation of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, headed by Ms Gudrun Mosler-Törnström (Austria), while the OSCE/ODIHR long-term Election Observation Mission headed by Tana de Zulueta (Italy). The cooperation with the OSCE/ODIHR and the Congress went as usual and a compromise on the joint statement was reached (see annex B). Due to the fact that only two parliamentary delegations were present to observe the local elections, and had rather different expectations as regards meetings to be organised, it was agreed between all parties to limit the joint programme to a briefing by the core team of the OSCE/ODIHR.
