While there are many honest and qualified judges in Ukraine, the system is unfair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tThe previous attempts of the President to reform judicial governance produced no results. In October 2019, the Parliament supported the President&rsquo;s draft law on a full reboot of the High Qualification Commission of Judges (HQCJ) and cleansing of the High Council of Justice (HCJ) of unscrupulous members. Unfortunately, the HCJ blocked the implementation of the law again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tCurrently, it is the High Council of Justice which is, ironically, the source of injustice in the judicial system. Instead of punishing dishonest judges, the HCJ covers up their misdeeds and fosters their promotion, while honest and independent judges constantly endure repressions from the HCJ. The integrity of HCJ members themselves leaves room for much doubt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tChanges in the judicial system will only happen when HCJ consists of honest experts with a positive reputation in the society. We are convinced that only a new High Council of Justice will be able to put the judicial system in order, dismissing dishonest judges and initiating the appointment of honest ones for their positions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tTo fulfill his electoral promises and ensure that Ukrainians have access to fair justice, the&nbsp;President has to file a draft law with the Parliament which would:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t\tterminate the dishonest members of the HCJ on their positions based on verification carried out with the help of the public and international experts;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t\tengage international experts and civil society in selection of new HCJ members;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t\tlaunch the HQCJ competition held by an independent commission including international experts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tWe urge the President not to wait and to avoid repeating previous mistakes. Without a reboot of the High Council of Justice, other initiatives are doomed. Without this, the purpose of the judicial reform, which is to eliminate corruption from the system and arbitrary decisions and to raise the credibility of judges, will be invalidated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<em><strong>Anti-Corruption Action Center<br \/>\n\tAutomaidan<br \/>\n\tTransparency International Ukraine<br \/>\n\tDEJURE Foundation<br \/>\n\tCenter of Policy and Legal Reform<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Civil society organizations insist on the implementation of the judicial reform and urge the authorities to start with rebooting the High Council of Justice, which is the main obstacle to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"authors":[178],"source":[],"class_list":["post-10079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bez-kategoriyi","authors-cplr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>JUDICIAL REFORM IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT QUALITY HCJ REBOOT<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Latest news from the Center of Policy and Legal Reform.
