Ukraine Appeal

Our colleagues in Ukraine have faced unparalleled challenges in trying to uphold the rule of law in unimaginable circumstances over the past 6 weeks. Our friends at the Krakow Bar Association launched an inspiring initiative to provide assistance directly to those who need it most. This has meant coordinating logistics for the transport of food, medical and other supplies to areas that are under served (or not served at all) by larger humanitarian charities.

The Dean of the Krakow Bar Association, Aleksander Gut, has written to legal friends across the globe seeking support from lawyers abroad to support their humanitarian efforts from Poland. A copy of this letter is reproduced in full here.

I am sure that you have all been moved by the harrowing stories emerging from Ukraine, and that you will have likely already contributed towards supporting this cause. However, if you are able to lend further support, I would suggest that the initiative from the Krakow Bar Association is a worthy one.

I was humbled to be able to present a Certificate of Honour on behalf of WHLS to two representatives from Krakow, Kinga Konopka and Joanna Wsolek, in recognition of this outstanding initiative.
