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”.
