Center for Civil Liberties: Established in 2007 in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The aim was to strengthen democracy in Ukraine. This organization says that true democracy still does not exist in Ukraine. This organization demands that Ukraine should become a part of the International Criminal Court.
