    Reasons for registration of a NGO

    The NGO is defined by Ukrainian law as an association of persons (citizens or stateless persons) or legal entities which is created by them in order to protect their legal, social, economic, artistic, national, cultural, sport and other interests. It may protect not only its members, but also other people.

    The establishment and activities of NGOs are determined by the Law of Ukraine "On public associations" adopted on 22 March 2012 p. № 4572-VI, which came into force on 1 January 2013 and, correspondingly, the previous Law “On associations of citizens” had lapsed.

    The new law contains Important legislative innovation – it abolishes state control over the statutory activities  of NGOs and excludes principle of equality and equal rights of association’s members, it has implemented new principles:

    • free choice of the territory of activities;

    • absence of a property interest of  members (participants);

    • transparency;

    • openness and publicity (Art. 3 Law "On Public Associations").

    Earlier,  NGOs in Ukraine were divided into: district city; regional; nationwide; foreign until 2013.

    This  division has lost  its leagal meaning according to the new law  “On public associations”.

    Regarding the confirmation of a national status we can say that it is purely formal and can provide certain benefits, but not the right to operate within Ukraine, it goes without saying that every public association (NGO) may operate within Ukraine. National status may be registered by public association which has branches at least in 14 regions of 24 including Kiev.

    The establishment of local branches of NGOs and receiving national status may be made only after the NGO’s registration. We remark, that national status shall be confirmed annually. With the implementation of the new Law “On public associations” there is no requirement to register an international NGO separately.

    NGOs which may carry activities that danger the interests of the state, violate human right shall not be legalized or registred with.

    NGOs in terms of legal form are formed as a  public organization (may be founded by physical persons) or a public union (may be founded by legal entities, but physical persons may participate in its activity). NGOs may carry their activities without status of a legal entity but they won’t posses a full scope of rights.
