In today’s globalised world an international cooperation provides opportunities for every state to take part in addressing common challenges. A membership or other forms alike provide a state with a toolbox for strengthening its position on the international arena and exerting influence on regional and global affairs.

An international cooperation is also a way to compensate the lack of national resources (financial, economic, political, military, etc.).

Being an equal member of the international  community is supposed to offer additional capabilities for national governments to deal with their domestic and external issues.

Ukraine is broadly integrated in the system of regional and global organisations and has participated in numerous regional and global security initiatives. Its membership in 83 international organisations proves the intentions of the national government to be an active and responsible member of the international community.

Ukraine is also supported by OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, NATO Parliamentary Assembly, European Council, the European Parliament, and the European Commission. Among international organisations UN, the EU, NATO and OSCE have played the most important role.

United Nations. The UN Country team is represented by 15 funds and programmes, 7 specialised agencies and other entities. As the development arm of the United Nations, United Nations Development  Programme supports strategic development initiatives to promote inclusive growth and sustainable human development. UNDP strives to support Ukraine in its efforts in poverty reduction, develop people’s capacity, achieve equitable results, sustain the environment, and advance democratic governance.

The European Union. The EU-Ukraine Association Agreement is the legal basis and framework for EU-Ukraine relations, aiming at political association and economic integration. Both sides accepted mutual commitments to develop a close and lasting relationship based on common values. The most important are the Ukrainian Government’s commitments to fully implement democratic principles, rule of law, good governance, human rights and fundamental freedoms. The main role of the EU in Ukraine is not only to provide assistance in various areas, but also to maintain a positive external pressure on the national Government in order to meet its own commitments and to deliver what Ukrainian people need.

NATO. In the early 90s newly independent Ukraine joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (1991) and the Partnership for Peace Programme (1994). In 1997 the parties signed the Charter on a Distinctive Partnership and established the NATO-Ukraine Commission.

Nowadays NATO has reinforced its support for Ukraine giving priority to comprehensive security and defence sector reform, strengthening national capability to defend itself by providing a wide range of advisory, technical, financial assistance, conducting training and joint military exercises, establishing new trust funds.

OSCE. Covering 57 states from Europe, Central Asia and North America, OSCE is the world’s largest regional security organization.

The purpose is to promote fair elections, human rights and freedom of media. It also deals with preventing conflicts, crisis management and post-conflict recovery. In addition to monitoring, OSCE is conducting a number of activities aimed at reconciliation, promoting national dialogue, supporting reforms, etc.
