[The CIVIS Newsroom ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) 2. Public statement of the CIVIS Alliance on the military attack in Ukraine Public statement of the CIVIS Alliance on the military attack in Ukraine ======================================================================== 24 February 2022 Keeping in line with our mission to nurture and protect the democratic values and freedom of individuals and nation states, we, the CIVIS University Alliance, publicly condemn any form of military aggression and abuse over nations, societies, and human beings. When democracy and life itself are threatened, our transnational academic community asks for concrete actions for protecting – as individuals, institutions, or societies – life and peace on our continent and abroad. Only by promoting human rights, freedom, constant dialogue, and social justice, humankind could avoid the devastating effects on humanity and its evolution that armed conflicts would bring. The CIVIS Alliance’s entire community is these days in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, the victims of the armed conflict and the entire educational and research community of the Ukrainian state. We strongly reaffirm our commitment for promoting a humanistic education that places human being, life, and the protection of human rights at the core of its actions, and to respect the sovereignty and integrity of all states. 24 February 2022 #### Download the statement - [ civis-statement-on-ukraine-240222.pdf (PDF, 221 KB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-statement-on-ukraine-240222_1.pdf) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ut-logo-550-800x600.jpg?token=a3ff3e97efe2b5048dae4a8c8dfcc70d)The University of Tübingen is kicking off its 550th year at the start of the winter semester CIVIS Highlights 22 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-university-of-tubingen-is-kicking-off-its-550th-year-at-the-start-of-the-winter-semester) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uam2-800x600.jpg?token=ed6985cf3f19e30c76ceab613191cc24)UAM pays tribute to the 1976 Festival de los Pueblos Ibéricos CIVIS Highlights 19 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/uam-pays-tribute-to-the-1976-festival-de-los-pueblos-ibericos) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ub1_1-800x600.jpg?token=87d4cd16b1255c0ff21e85de351d0f31)The Restored Faculty of History Building Marks the Opening of the New Academic Year at the University of Bucharest CIVIS Highlights 15 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-restored-faculty-of-history-building-marks-the-opening-of-the-new-academic-year-at-the-university-of-bucharest) [ Discover all our stories ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ Joint statement from FOREU1 & FOREU2, the 41 alliances, in support to Ukraine ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/joint-statement-from-foreu1-and-foreu2-the-41-alliances-in-support-to-ukraine%20) [ Aix-Marseille Université: Societal innovation at the heart of Local CIVIS Days ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/aix-marseille-universite-societal-innovation-at-the-heart-of-local-civis-days%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
