Abstract
This policy brief reviews general principles and lessons internationally from successful SSR in the context of considering the challenges facing Ukraine, in the form of a non-verbatim summary of presentations at a recent private seminar organised by PeaceRep’s Ukraine team.
Key questions
• How do we assess the key general principles of SSG (civilian control, civic scrutiny) and their potential application in Ukraine’s specific, challenging circumstances?
• How do we assess progress with SSG since 2014?
• How do we assess the response of Ukrainian security sector to the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022?
• What are the downstream risks / challenges?
• What should be the vision for Ukraine’s SSG in the short, medium and long-term? What role could external actors play in this vision?
