Constitutional Commission approved draft constitutional amendments on justice

The Constitutional Commission has approved the final version of draft constitutional amendments on justice endorsed by the Venice Commission.

Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration and Secretary of the Constitutional Commission Oleksiy Filatov noted: “Today, we have made an important step towards the implementation of full-scale judicial reform and renewal of judicial corps, restoration of trust in judiciary and ensuring the right of everyone to a fair trial. 

Draft amendments to the Constitution on justice are unprecedented for Ukraine, in terms of both the support from the international experts and consolidation of Ukrainian society. The draft has passed several stages of discussion and approval by the Ukrainian and international experts, representatives of the coalition factions, civil society activists. I am grateful to all colleagues who have been working over this fundamental issue for 5 months. We hope the draft law will be submitted for consideration by the Parliament shortly”.
