11:30 am
of the constitutional court and if the draft law of any people's deputy of ukraine were to be appointed. if it contained such a procedure, then it would be possible and there would be no such communication from the side of the fields. unfortunately, unfortunately, we must admit that the text of the draft law that is currently being prepared by the committee retains political influence over the selection procedure and the appointment of judges of the constitutional court and in the future , the president, the parliament, from the judges' point of view, will actually have the right to veto any candidate, but moreover, the procedure prescribed there is not makes it possible to be sure that independent professional candidates who are not loyal to the authorities will be able to pass the inspection and will have a chance to be appointed to the constitutional court, unfortunately let's put it this way, the
11:31 am
venetian commission, which recently gave its opinion, played a bad game in our country very often there are high hopes for their bodies this time, the impression is that in the conditions of the war, they wanted to help ukraine a little and relaxed their demands regarding this procedure, which they had already given two years ago it looks more like a disservice because instead of helping ukraine in the conditions of war to strengthen its institutional capacity and for the first time actually such an important body as the constitutional court, the russian commission allegedly gave such a relaxation to the authorities and the authorities immediately used it and prepared such a text draft law that retains political influence on the appointment of judges of the constitutional court, unfortunately, if this draft law is adopted in its current version, it will have not only long-term the consequences for this body of the constitution, the institute,
11:32 am
we believe that by the end of april, president zelensky and his political power will have a majority in the constitutional court, because you correctly mentioned the three judges who resigned, this is literally last week there are also two vacancies not filled according to the quota congress of judges and according to our information, there are already 5 judges in the constitutional court who were either appointed by the parliament and the president of this convocation by the parliament , actually from the party, a servant of the people or actively cooperate with the president and the president's office, and when the president and his party will have a majority in the constitutional court, it will actually be the last body over which this political force and its doctor will have control in ukraine, because until recently the constitutional court was probably the only body of such of such importance that
11:33 am
the authorities have not yet controlled, and what about the previous leader well, you say the leaders of the constitutional court with the head of the court, oleksandr tupytskyi, ms. galina, do you know at what stage his criminal case is, do you remember about bribery of witnesses witnesses about the influence on us investigation of corruption he is now in vienna with his wife and child, in principle everything is fine , they are looking for him, but he is not hiding anywhere, walks, lives, the address is even known what do you think is the prospect of his criminal case, actually the last at times there have been no public official news of any progress in this criminal case and in fact we are very skeptical of the possibility of such progress because we remember that this case is being investigated by a state bureau of investigations, which, unfortunately, is more known for some kind of participation in some political persecutions than in the implementation of really high-quality
11:34 am
preparation of really high-quality criminal cases and their transfer to court, in contrast to the national anti-corruption bureau, which has now successfully successfully prepared a case against pavlo vovka , which is currently being considered by the higher anti-corruption court, and the fact that tupytskyi was able to calmly leave ukraine is actually a consequence of the inactivity of the state bureau of investigation, because this case began to be investigated back in 2020, we remember after because in october the constitutional court made this infamous decision, which actually canceled our key achievement after the revolution, the introduction of the system of electronic declaration of officials, and uh, in fact, uh, for almost two years, the state investigation bureau was inactive, and that's why tupytsky was able to leave the country, but now, unfortunately what we are observing is all the signs that, as my colleague said, the president's office will really take control
11:35 am
of the constitutional court by the end of next summer and the decisions of the constitutional court will be actually depend on one call from the president's office from either totarov or smirnov, and i just want to emphasize that these were not just some empty words, our assumptions are now unresolved by the constitutional court, very important questions of constitutionality, for example , the creation of a higher anti-corruption court the question of the constitutionality of the same judicial reform that is currently underway when international experts evaluate candidates for the supreme council of justice and the politically controlled constitutional court is actually threatened by the fact that he can very easily, just as in the past, cancel cancel these reforms if, for example, the higher anti-corruption court will continue to move successfully in those criminal cases that are currently in progress.
11:36 am
the constitutional court, in particular, is taken under control so that if it is not possible to resolve issues with law enforcement judicial bodies, it will be possible to resolve them through the constitutional court and in fact, if the draft laws are not changed now, then this is what awaits us in the future, mr. stepan , still to tupytskyi, i will remind you that on january 28 he will have a big date, he will turn 60 years old, and in fact, from january 29, he will be able to receive his judge's huge pension of several hundred thousand having gone on a well-deserved rest, what will happen to him next? what do you think, and mr. tupytsky does not need to be 60 years old to receive the judicial question that he already has as a judge of the constitutional court, in fact, despite the decrees issued by president zelenskyi, he was not dismissed from his position, his authority ended at the time
11:37 am
of the constitutional court due to the expiration of the term for which he was appointed, so that until judge tupytskyi receives, well, some court sentence, he will calmly receive his maintenance and will be written well, he will have the status in the court of the former a judge of the constitutional court, so that he is not in any danger in this regard. thank you for your participation, or were you in touch with our studio? in the center of anti-corruption. thank you for participating in these purely internal topics of ours, er, as in a large-scale invasion, in the end, but let's not forget that er, our imperfect courts are always a loophole for our enemy to our internal kitchen , so let's move on andriy osadchuk, people's deputy andriy of ukraine is in touch with us. congratulations, glory to ukraine, and here we were talking about the ukrainian courts
11:38 am
, in particular, the supreme council of justice . how important is the selection procedure, let's say , to define the selection procedure and not just appoint regular people's deputies from the servant of the people or anyone else, you have so much work in the parliament in the near future, mr. andrii, and literally in the next few days, including tell me in a little more detail, what is planned, what is on the agenda, we now have an autumn hall, well, in the end, i think no one knows what is on the agenda, because right now, for sure, today and tomorrow, all the lists of bills will be sorted out, because of course, the end of the year as it always turns out, they didn't have time for something, someone didn't
11:39 am
have time for their project, someone didn't have time to become famous, uh, there's always a lot of interest, and that's why i expect, first of all, that the last sessions this year will be very voluminous , uh, i don't know how long we'll work, but it's obvious that there will be a lot of things that i'm interested in. and it's important to me that you've already started this discussion , and it's bad to be a prophet or not , prophecies come true three years ago, the team announced that i personally told the servants of the people not to do that when they adopted the so-called judicial reform you will destroy everything and waste time, we have actually lost lessons in judicial reform, this is terrible . unfortunately, everything happened exactly as we predicted it, and now at the end of the 22nd year, it may happen that we may finally close the issue to the board of judges of the constitutional court draft law
11:40 am
76.62 there are huge disputes already within the legal committee and with our european partners and public activists who are actively represented there, but i really expect that at least this part of the saga of the constitutional we will complete the reforms, because as you said correctly , if i heard correctly, if political appointments are pushed to the constitutional court again, we know that there are currently three vacancies there, then it will not be that the reforms have been broken through, it will have signs of a constitutional coup, this is absolutely unacceptable, so i urge you to be careful to follow the events of the verkhovna rada precisely in part 76:62 , again i expect that everyone will have the common sense to close the issue once and for all and come to the conclusion that next year we will actually
11:41 am
of a fully formed constitutional court with candidates who will be selected not on the basis of political interests but exclusively on the basis of professional characteristics regarding other matters. i think you, first of all, we, the shareholders, are also very interested in it. it looks like there will be an attempt to vote in the second reading of the famous media law there a huge number of spears were broken. to be honest, i don't know what stage this bill is at today, but it seems that the things that annoyed us all the most in terms of the russian-language content were supposedly corrected there. the thing that most of all saved the politicians , the interference in the election legislation was allegedly also removed, i.e. there is a modest hope that the draft law will have more or less oh, it does not look like but again, it is not certain, i think only today by evening
11:42 am
tomorrow by morning we will know for sure in which the form this bill will take, and there will be many, many more things, i think the final version of the agenda will be known no earlier than this evening, because of the mandates of your colleagues in the parliament, representatives of the e-e or ex-representatives of the opz, well, again, again, very many spears have been broken on this topic and we understand that we, as a legal state, must follow the laws of the country. nevertheless, tolerating these collaborators and allowing them to make important decisions in our country is in the end just dragging us into state secrets we can't do anything about it. what do the people's deputies think about this? my position is very simple and probably categorical. i have expressed it since march of this year. i remember i turned to
11:43 am
my colleagues in the central election commission and begged their one thing is to look for a legal way in which we can remove from the representative mandates of all representatives of the ukrainian national socialist party, and here it is very important to talk not only about the verkhovna rada of ukraine, but about representative authorities throughout the country. so, i perfectly understand that in some councils of the central east of ukraine, the faction of the national socialist party was significant, but this is not a reason to leave them in ukrainian politics, unfortunately, ukraine is already making its third attempt to hold a mass demonstration, and we have failed to do so after the first orange maidan, it still succeeded after the revolution of dignity it did not succeed, these scoundrels survived perfectly, most of them took part in the elections of the 19th year in the local elections of the 20th year and they are responsible for the fact that war came to this country, therefore i claim that they should bear at least a political responsibility,
11:44 am
namely to disappear from ukrainian politics. unfortunately, in previous times and now it depends mostly on the political leadership of the country, in this case, in our construction of democracy, everything depends on the will of the faction, the servant of the people, on the will of the formal and the nominal leaders of the faction are servants of the people and the ukrainian state, so if bankova street will finally understand that this is not a question of their comfort, because now everyone sees the results of voting for 8 months of the war, the ex-opzzh perfectly votes in unison with the majority. yes, it's convenient, it's nice, you don't need to collect votes, but people cannot represent the interests of the ukrainian people by definition, therefore i really hope that volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi, his entourage, ruslan stepanchuk, will take on themselves a difficult political decision and we will then find a political and legal solution in which way these people will leave the hall of the verkhovna rada of
11:45 am
ukraine and the halls of all councils in ukraine, otherwise we will not be able to build an independent ukrainian state if those people who directly or indirectly helped to destroy it will sit in ukrainian politics again but what is happening in the local councils , especially in the south-east of ukraine, where the representatives of the people's liberation army, we talked about zaporizhzhia, the sharia party, you know, people are sitting there, and there it is written on the website that a member of the sharia party is the head of the development of the sharia party in zaporizhzhia region is also in the zaporizhzhia city council , and there is a person who is 26 years old, who even just has a secondary education, not even a higher education, she manages the development and construction of the sharia party there. then at the next elections
11:46 am
, god willing, in a few years we will sort out these people, or somehow now it is possible to influence these local councils on their quality, filled with yehor, there are always many emotions in this discussion, but we must remember that we after all, this is not russia, as we live in a right-wing state, and it is also impossible to organize a swindle, all the people who are in the local councils were elected in open and fair elections in the 20th year, this is a fact. therefore, we must move exclusively in a legal way, and for me, the legal way it exists due to the recognition of political parties as illegal, and this work is conducted by the ministry of justice, as you know, there are already such decisions on other parties, there are such decisions , and then it is necessary to include some mechanisms when the party is illegal, so, because of this logic make all the representative mandates of this party invalid here, the same as the supreme council of ukraine should be done according to the supreme council of ukraine, this should be a single mechanism
11:47 am
approved for all illegal parties, it is absurd for representatives of a party that is recognized as illegal to continue any political activity and it does not matter for 26 years boys or 46 - it does not matter at all, only one thing matters today, political parties must remove all their representatives from ukrainian politics at all levels, once again, it all depends solely on the will bankova street. i really expect that they will have this will, but i emphasized not on age, but on the fact that the person does not even have a higher education, this is a girl, this is not a boy. well, less so. just some people representing openly pro-russian sharia parties, who at all sit and hide abroad for several years, maybe even several decades. they are still leaving, and evgeny balytsky, for example , was also elected in legitimate democratic elections , now in moscow he represents or somewhere in melitopol he
11:48 am
represents the occupying power, also remaining a deputy of the zaporizhzhia regional council well, you can go on, the rest of the people remain in the kherson city regional council, they are all legitimate deputies, and well , they are quasi-legends and quasi-local self-government deputies, a proxy, i would say a proxy deputy, andriyu well, you can sum up the results and parla ’s work for the year how much is left until the new year, by the way, because we don't see any videos, broadcasts, or stories, but you have one week of session left in the parliament. yes, i understand . i think that no one knows for sure the results of the year, in your opinion, what was the most responsible decision of the ukrainian parliament in 2002, to which you can give credit in ukrainian parliamentarism, so ihora, i think the honest and correct answer would be not to mention any individual bills, but
11:49 am
to state the fact that despite all political contradictions, regardless of our likes or dislikes, the ukrainian parliament this year played a huge role in ensuring democracy in ukraine, in confirming the legitimacy of the authorities in ukraine, and for organization of injuries from the invasion of the russian federation, the ukrainian parliament did not stop its work for a single day, we met in session mode, in committee mode, constantly throughout march , april, and the most difficult days and weeks of the battles near kyiv. the verkhovna rada was working, and this is an absolutely unprecedented case. in ukrainian in history in history probably european and world gates and one way or another we managed to give answers to critical challenges and especially in the first months the deputies worked very consolidated really was completely
11:50 am
all this political rhetoric was thrown aside. working groups were created and some micro-teams were created that solved dozens and tens of hundreds of issues that were then brought to the hall and voted on. this is a story about success. this is an unconditional story about success. in the fall, many of these usual political practices returned to the walls of the verkhovna rada, but the general conclusion is that this year was a good one for the verkhovna rada of ukraine, regardless of all its defects, which we we all know this year very well, and we have worked well, as they say. as they say, there will definitely be no shame for this year. thank you mr. andriy for your work in the parliament. and for this inclusion, for the priorities you set and we will monitor them. well, let's say so implementation we hope that this
11:51 am
is also important for your colleagues andrii shevchuk, people's deputy of ukraine, we were in touch with us, we talked about the work plans of the ukrainian parliament for the near future, and now we will meet mykhailo e mykhailo in our studio sava, the expert of the center for civil liberties, is mr. mykhailo already in touch, and the links do not yet signal to well, i would certainly note that the center for civil liberties, a ukrainian human rights organization, was founded in 2007 . now , in fact, in the conditions of the constant aggression of the russian federation and violations of human rights, the center for civil liberties continues to play an extremely important role, for which it deservedly received this year the nobel peace prize and we are in touch with grief
11:52 am
can once again introduce our guests with us he is an expert in the center of community malts we welcome you friends good day good day mr. mykhailo you know me by the way i apologize very important information how about me now e- i will quote it, it is not related to the protection of human rights there, but oh, i can’t open it now, i opened it. turkey warned of aggression that a rocket could hit the greek capital . politics, politics, american, now we have started to produce our own missiles, the president of turkey , rezhip and his perdugan, said during a visit on sunday to samsund , in the north of turkey.
11:53 am
this rocket rhetoric reminds me of a threat, mr. mykhailo. how do you assess the results? you are already summing up the results of this year, and we talked about the activities of the parliament. what is the most important thing, what are the bills that protect the rights and freedoms of ukrainian citizens, you see in the work of ukrainian parliamentarians this year, to what extent ukrainian legislation currently meets european standards, please, i want to say that so far, ukrainian legislation does not meet european union standards, there are many problems, many problems, and in the sense, not specific norms, and in the station the absence of some laws, but this year several normative acts were created that i consider important, and first of all this is the law on social legal protection
11:54 am
of people who suffered as a result of russian aggression . if earlier this issue was actually solved manually, let's say what, that is, now there is a law that creates the basis for this process to be objective, but the miner-integration cannot launch this law, and a bunch of by-laws are needed there for some reason they are not being created and public control over this process is needed, or should i say that in my opinion, the recent decree of the president of ukraine on the fact that on december 10 will be a very important although entirely symbolic act the official holiday of human rights, we knew about this day of course. of course, this is an important event on a global scale, but during the war, the ukrainian state
11:55 am
decided that it should be an official holiday of human rights . do not forget to record all these violations that are happening now so that after the end of the war the guilty are punished and the aggressor country pays a certain compensation for what it has done here, who should take care of it documenting those crimes and facts of human rights violations in ukraine now please . first of all, this is a complex task, of course, the state authorities and they do it, although the potential of the law enforcement system of ukraine was clearly not calculated for such a number of war crimes , but more than 44,000 and - and the statements have already been filed,
11:56 am
besides, a huge amount of work is being done by the public, for example, the coalition tribunal for putin, which has documented more than 24,000 violations of international humanitarian law, and among these violations, a large part is also war crimes at this stage, it is important to document. and in the next stages, look for the guilty and bring them to justice. well, we need such a case for putin. it is promising. what do you think in general? russians do not surrender as they say that and it will be implemented in
11:57 am
any case, and i insist on this. there will be paraska, there will be another option, but the tribunal will be a question for putin. the only question is whether he will be on the bench defendants, but even if he is not there, but there will be an arrest warrant - this is also very important, he will become an outcast, he will become a person who will not be able to leave the country. well, maybe turkmenistan somewhere, and nothing more, so there will be a tribunal for putin in any case mr. mykhailo, a little bit about the nobel prize. we congratulate the entire team of the center for civil liberties with this high award and the absolutely impressive speech of oleksandra matviychuk, who emphasized that human rights and the restoration justice is one thing - the basis of peace in the world a-a
11:58 am
just justice based on the responsibility of those people who committed a crime and have to answer for it. the tendency to talk not only about rights but also about responsibility as absolutely inseparable and inseparable from each other, so definitely this tendency already exists . any human rights. but it will be a piece of paper if there are no mechanisms. how can a person protect his rights, and this necessarily involves the responsibility of the
11:59 am
guilty. therefore, a huge amount of work is currently underway, first of all, we convey this idea to the world, the idea that , for example, international humanitarian law should be protected because that now putin's russia says that they comply with the norms of international humanitarian law, but this is a complete lie, there are no mechanisms, unfortunately, already in the neva conventions, which would make it possible to punish violations of international humanitarian law needs its reform in order for you not to be punished, that is, there is actually a worldview revolution that has not been seen for a long time, it may not be visible yet, but it has already begun . from the studio was mykhailo sava , an expert at the center for civil liberties - this
12:00 pm
organization received the nobel peace prize well, it is probably important to note that they decided to give it this year only to our wonderful human rights defenders , but also to lesya biyatsky of belarus and russia memorial, i would like to end this broadcast with a fragment of the speech of oleksandr matviychuk, head of the center for civil liberties, we ask that russian troops purposefully destroy residential buildings, churches, schools, hospitals, shoot evacuation corridors, imprison people in filtration camps, carry out forced deportations of the population, kidnap, torture and kill in the occupied territories, the russian people will bear responsibility for this
