Having considered the text of the "Charter of Muslims of Ukraine," the Department of Religious Studies firstly notes the positive fact of the emergence of a fundamentally new document that highlights the principles and approaches of the modern vision of the life of Muslim communities of Ukraine in a society with a dominant non-Muslim population. Moreover, unlike the famous "European Islamic Charter", which was adopted in 2008. (and caused a constructive discussion in the Muslim environment that ended with the signing of this document by more than 400 Muslim organizations), the "Charter of Muslims of Ukraine" is a document more concrete and less declarative, since it means the principles of the common life of Muslims, taking into account Ukrainian specifics.
