yaskiv is doing things with you. roasting and feeding everything related to our journey to justice to access to this justice and according to independence in this direction in just a few moments i will be happy to introduce our guests in the next 15 minutes, that's right, and we'll talk in particular about why the united states of america imposes sanctions on some judges of the ukrainian justice system, so the us state department announced the introduction of sanctions against the head of the kyiv district administrative court, pavlo vovka, as well as the two closest members his family's message states that the measures announced on the occasion of the international anti- corruption day and on the eve of the international human rights day are being implemented against the wolf for extortion

of the sea in exchange for non-interference in the court and other public processes, this is our story and we congratulate we are online guests of the studio stepan berko - lawyer advocacy manager of the de jure foundation stepan congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes greetings good day also with us halyna chyzhik expert of the anti-corruption center halyna, we congratulate you. thank you for joining the broadcast of good morning, colleagues, your reaction to the imposition of sanctions on ukrainian judges and their family members . i will go, but you are still here, everything is just beginning, said the wolf, obviously, after threatening them with some kind of actions in response. admit that

the imposition of personal sanctions by the united states government is a very clear signal, even i would say not so much for the wolf as for everyone around, including the ukrainian authorities, this means that this person is toxic and any relations with this person is any business relationship if it is about activities, some financial assets and so on, they are toxic, they will be prosecuted by the united states government. i also think that this is a signal about how the ukrainian authorities should continue to act with such a court as in every the administrative court of the city of kyiv, the head of which is actually pavlo vovk, in my opinion, this is a clear signal that it is not possible to delay the solution of the issue with this court, let me remind you that the law

on the liquidation of this court is a bill that the president has been in the parliament for more than 1.5 years and has not been considered, so i believe that this is a signal from the american government about where the ukrainian government should move, with the question of every administrative court of the city of kyiv, what can be said in the conditions a full-scale war with russia not only does not lose its relevance, the relevance of which is growing every day mrs. galina volodymyrivna, we have judge pavlo vovk, he continues to go to work every day to issue court decisions in the name of ukrainian justice to earn a salary, years of service, seniority, and so on is simply possible. well, it is profitable for the authorities . before, the sword of opinion hung over it in the form of this law on liquidation, and now there are also american sanctions, that is, in principle, the judge is completely and the court is so tame, any decisions now he definitely praises what is needed, well, what is needed by the government,

maybe it’s so, i’m exaggerating, i’m modeling, maybe it’s all wrong, i the government really wants to liquidate this corrupt court, as the president wrote, where everything is a figure - a pile of cash, but for some reason in a year and a half this did not happen, please what will change now after the sanctions, i agree with you i really don’t have another answer to the question why has the verkhovna rada not done anything for a year and eight months to consider zelensky’s urgent draft law on the liquidation of the oosh, there can be no other way answers except that the authorities need such a court because, er, let's not forget that the district administrative court is not just one of the local courts, it is a court that decides issues of state importance because it is a court to whom files lawsuits against state authorities, and this court is actually a threat to national security. these are not my words, these are the words of the secretary of the

national security and defense council, who publicly stated that the district administrative court planned to legitimize yanukovych, and this was the plan of the russians in the event of a successful their seizure of kyiv is the secretary of the national security and defense council and despite this we see that the administrative court is still not liquidated and pavlo vovk once again headed it trust that there is no other decision now and the reaction of the authorities except for the liquidation of the court in response to this political signal, as a colleague said, it cannot be now because the americans, they, in this way , let our authorities understand that they see everything, they monitor it and they actually now they are waiting for the proper actions of the government, this is now our key western partner, and i would be very

sorry if the non-liquidation of oazk is now used to undermine western support for ukraine, from oazk, let's move on to related topics, actually oh, how is it really connected in our country when we talk about the courts of ablov and osk are planning to reinstate mr. lviv in the position of mr. lviv for his dismissal . the number of votes, the petition is about a person who can have russian citizenship and about a person who is not distinguished by integrity in his position, yes, lviv can be renewed, and your stepan colleague mykhailo zhernakov thinks that it will be done right the day before with the ride of judges

in order to strengthen lviv as much as possible before him, to bless the head, and the princely decision, which is actually being contested, and the topic will also be discussed here, the supreme council of justice, the reform of which is extremely important , is almost number one among our obligations to our european partners, literally a week ago the ambassadors of the group of seven welcomed the steps taken by ukraine to restore the work of the high council of justice and very much hope that in january we will appoint those eight people who are so lacking there . the recovery of the high council of justice, the most important body in our judicial system. and what is lviv doing here together with the oblovov and the osk? first of all, i have to correct you a little. that is, you said that there is a suspicion

that mr. lviv has russian citizenship, but in fact at this moment it is an already established fact, because the head of the supreme court, vsevolod knyazov, e-e, he did not dismiss mr. lviv from the post of a judge of the supreme court, he only issued an order to remove him from the staff of judges actually on the basis of a letter from the security service of ukraine, which officially confirmed the russian citizenship of bohdan lviv. that is, his authority as a judge ceased as soon as this information was officially confirmed. my colleague mykhailo zhornikov is indeed right, and we all see that it is not for nothing that bohdan lviv filed his lawsuit in the district administrative court and everything is leading to the fact that he will really be reinstated in his position on the eve of the congress of judges,

although we understand that such decisions hardly have any legal consequences, because bohdan was not a judge and is no longer in this position it is not possible to renew it, it is only possible to create different quasi-legal as if the decision that we are introducing and the society is broken and all the other novels that allegedly bohdan lviv is a judge bohdan lviv is a very influential person in the judiciary, i will remind you that a few years ago audio recordings were published about how bohdan lviv the day before the congress of judges gathered plum judges and told them who they should vote for for the position of judges of the constitutional court and actually now the situation may repeat itself, that is, bohdan lviv may be used in order to it is one of its judges who will meet in january or appointed those persons to the positions of members of the supreme council of

justice whom they want to control or who will be beneficial someday in the office of the president in order to be able to work in polish and receive some positive or beneficial for decision of the authorities, we are now at this stage of judicial reform. i would say that as a rubicon, we have the opportunity to launch the supreme council of justice. in january, i appointed 8 members to the supreme council of justice, and among those 16 candidates selected by the ethics council for the involvement of international experts are worthy, there are worthy candidates who, in my opinion, i think in the opinion of my colleagues, will also be able to show the new quality of work of this body. unfortunately , according to our information, there are a lot of influential people in the sedimentary power who do not want to renew the powers of the supreme council of justice, because the supreme council of justice if it will be authorized again, she

will be able to consider disciplinary complaints against judges, suspend them and exercise judgment, e-e, dismiss the judge from the position, that is, actually begin to carry out the purification of the judiciary and those e-e well should judges who control the judiciary now, they are afraid of it because they are absolutely not interested in it and the signal of the ambassadors of the gsaven group is also very clear that it cannot be justified by any renewals of the postponement of the appointment of members of the supreme council of justice with the judge should appoint eight, and for him there are a sufficient number of candidates. and i also think that this is a signal to the president, after all, we have not yet heard any public position of the president on this matter, in my opinion, he should express his position that he also expects the appointment of eight members of the supreme council of

justice so that the judicial reform can be implemented even in war conditions mrs. galina well, i am listening to all this, but it seems to me that the mafia is a s -criminal organized criminal group called the judicial branch of the government of ukraine. of course , you and your colleagues have actually been talking about this for at least the last six years, because we have watched for years from year to year how judges' congresses take place, how members of the supreme council of justice are elected there, and it has happened repeatedly so that, despite dozens of candidates, the names of those two , three, four, er, future members of the gdp who will be elected became known even before the actual voting, because unfortunately, the ukrainian judicial system today is controlled by several influential groups of judges who are used to, er, handing out instructions to judges at the congress it's actually such a closed vicious circle, they are, er, they give instructions

to whom to vote for whom, and in the end , those people are elected to the supreme council of justice who, instead of making independent and honest decisions, they cover provide some guarantees of inviolability to those who brought them to their positions, and this system actually constantly reproduces itself, and this is why we promoted the reform with the holding of open competitions with the involvement of international experts in the selection of judges, however, we did not choose the most radical way of this reform, which would involve changes to the constitution, which stipulates that the majority of members of the supreme council of justice are elected precisely by the congress of judges, and that is why i am turning to now we have problems when international experts they did their job when they evaluated and selected the best candidates, but the congress of judges, which is still controlled by the clans, now he does not see whether the list of his necessary people is simply trying, well

, the people who control the agreement of the judges, they extract it as much as possible, and then the most incredible scenario that we are now seeing is when they will choose two or three, and then there will be new contests. and this will mean that the supreme council will not work, and the entire judicial mafia and bohdan will actually benefit from this, because you are still the council of justice - this the only body that can release him. this is our reality. there is another very important story that already concerns the constitutional court . mrs. halyna said that the real question is sometimes not only in the candidates, who were identified in particular by international experts. but also the question of their appointment is a problem that we currently have in the vrp, but if we talk about the constitutional court and the people who get there to work, then the same group of seven and their ambassadors hint to us that

the selection procedure should be tightened up a bit, dear ukrainians literally on december 7, it became known that three judges of the constitutional court submitted applications for resignation at the same meeting, er, the constitutional court supported those resignations, and we are talking about the fact that at least two of these judges, i remember exactly, they literally had three months left by the end of their term of office, something forced them to resign. well, the ambassadors say the draft law 76 62, which provides for the significant involvement of independent experts, in particular the right of a decisive vote, please pay attention to it and it would be good if it in the end, to adopt mr. stepan, what we are being hinted at, we are being hinted at that we need to finally adopt such a procedure that will ensure the appointment of professional and politically independent judges of the constitutional court and if the draft law of

any people's deputy of ukraine and appointing if it contained such a procedure, it would be possible there was such communication on the part of the ambassadors, unfortunately, unfortunately, we have to admit that the text of the draft law that is currently being prepared by the committee retains political influence on the procedure for the selection and appointment of judges of the constitutional court in the future the president, the parliament, from the judges' point of view, will actually have the right to veto any candidate, but what's more, the procedure prescribed there does not allow us to be sure that independent professional candidates who are not loyal to the government will be able to pass the inspection and there will be a chance to be appointed, there will be a constitutional unfortunately for the court
