Ukraine plans to simplify the process of selecting judges
Kyiv • UNN
According to MP Denys Maslov, Ukraine plans to simplify the procedure for selecting judges to make it faster and cheaper, solving the problem of a large number of vacant judicial positions and lengthy case reviews.
Ukraine will optimize the procedures for selecting judges - they should become less time-consuming and less costly for the state. This was stated by MP, chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy Denys Maslov, reports UNN.
Details
According to him, such changes are envisaged by the draft law No. 10140, adopted by the parliament in the first reading. Maslov explained that Ukraine has half as many judges as Europe, so some cases are being considered for years.
At the same time, as of today, about 2000 judicial positions are vacant in Ukraine, which means that cases are considered for years, and those that should be considered quickly drag on for several months. In such circumstances, it is imperative that we change the procedures for selecting judges so that they do not lose their diligence, and that only those people who have no questions about their integrity and have the appropriate professional level are appointed to the positions
Addendum
At the same time, he said, the state should provide decent working conditions for judges so that they do not think about anything else but the administration of justice.
The Legal Policy Committee, which has been dealing with this draft law and is responsible for it, will continue to finalize it for the second reading in order to take into account the interests of all citizens and all participants in this process as much as possible
As a reminder, on November 13, a group of experts resumed its work to assess judges for their suitability for the position. More than 1800 judges will be examined.
