WASHINGTON – The Ukrainian American Bar Association held its 42nd annual meeting in the revered confines of the United States Capitol. The conference, titled “The Tenacity of Ukraine’s Democracy: Overcoming Obstacles and Aggression,” took place during the weekend of November 1-3, 2019, and featured 25 speakers, including American and Ukrainian diplomats, jurists, journalists, U.S. and foreign government representatives, members of Washington think tanks and attorneys.
Coming in the midst of Washington’s political infighting over impeachment, the conference had an added touch of both drama and history as a backdrop. It was the second year the UABA met on Capitol Hill.
