The Dynamics of the Judiciary in Ukraine in the Context of the Rule of Law and the EU Accession Aspirations

About the Project

This project will contribute to a critical study of Ukraine's judicial system from a historical (from 1991 - to date) and legal perspective. It will examine key features including judicial reforms, independence of the judiciary with the rule of law framework, anti-corruption measures, issues of efficiency and accountability, and harmonisation with the Council of Europe and EU Standards. No research of this nature or scope has ever been undertaken about the Ukrainian judicial system, making this study's comprehensive and comparative nature both innovative and visionary. The research will generate insights and recommendations that can contribute to judicial reform efforts in Ukraine and alignment with EU and the CoE standards. Project outputs will provide a comprehensive and balanced picture of the judiciary in Ukraine, thus becoming an essential source for academics, practitioners, and decision-makers in Ukraine, the UK, the EU, and beyond.
