The President submitted draft constitutional
amendments on justice to the Parliament.
The draft was approved by the Constitutional
Commission on October 30, 2015. The National Council of Reforms recommended the
Parliament to consider the draft in the first reading during the current
session.
Commenting on the amendments, the President
noted: “The Ukrainian society has been waiting for these changes for too long.
That’s why I urge the MPs to thoroughly examine the draft law in the shortest
possible term for us to have a renewed Constitution in the context of justice
and build a fair court in Ukraine that will meet high European standards”.
The purpose of the proposed amendments is to
improve the constitutional foundations of justice for the implementation of the
rule of law and ensuring the right to a fair trial by an independent and
impartial court within a reasonable time.
The adoption of the bill will contribute to the
implementation of the full-scale judicial reform and renewal of judiciary in
accordance with the European standards.
The draft law is aimed at depoliticization and
independence of judicial power, raising professional standards of judicial
corps, restriction of judicial immunity etc.
