we have already told you about one of the candidates for the high council of justice, the judge of theytsia district administrative court oleksandr vilchynskyi. what was our surprise when we saw him and in the competition for the higher qualification commission of judges, one can only envy this self -confidence. bodies of judicial power oleksandr vilchynskyi has headed the vinnytsia district administrative court for three terms in a row since 2015, this violates the legislation on the term of holding an administrative position, which stipulates that the seat of the head of the court can be held for no more than two terms, however, oleksandr vilchynskyi is well versed in the tricks of maneuvering, de jure foundation expert stepan berko explains how many judges managed to circumvent the law, they use various tools to somehow justify their stay in these positions, in particular, for example, prematurely leave this position and then claim that they did not serve the term because that is why espano can once again embrace spain as a wolf, the situation is the same on the eve of a full-scale

was it possible to renew the supreme council of justice , it will be possible to judge by their first decisions. anti-corruption policy this is a new member of the highf justice, a judge of the civil court of cassation as part of the supreme court, serhiy burlakov. yes, i believe that it will be virtuous because i meet all the criteria for integrity. a member of the communist party of ukraine testifies to the opposite. he is closely associated with the kharkiv millionaire and mp of the ninth convocation oleksandr feldman, a former member of the already banned feldman, a member of the pro-russian party opzzh, is known for voting for the dictatorial laws on january 16, 2014, which actually led to the escalation of conflicts during the revolution of dignity in 17-18 years . burlakov actively cooperated with the flintven family and represented their interests and from this we can also draw conclusions about all of this candidate , in particular, burlakov received powers of attorney from feldman, even members of his family, burlakov does not deny his ties to feldman , notes that he was his lawyer before he became as a judge, the relationship is exclusivel

none of these four were chosen by the documents of the high council of justice of those who were appointedre the largest number of people killing property to the wheel of heating decisions, for example, during vacations to several - this is a visit to three of the russian federation or perform the territory of ukraine e-e since 2015, that is, a list of issues unfortunately, we do not give dietary degrees to candidates of ukraine, mr. stepan. well, we understand that it is actually important to have a 51% controlling share, conditionally speaking, that is, if society, virtuous judges, have that controlling share, conditionally speaking, it will work accordingly, are we the body itself, or now it seems that after all, well, if the light side prevails in this extremely important body that will be responsible for cleaning the judicial corps, i would say that now the supreme council of justice is dominated by a kind of gray side. that is, there is no obviously directed by such a reputation. well, it is completely black and there is a minority of people. it has a long history of public struggle

and this is a new member of the high council of justice and a judge of the mykolaiv court of appeal,arenko. she has a special judicial flair for buying cars cheaper than the market value. a few months earlier, allegedly for uah 420,000, and this does not at all correspond to the market prices for premium class cars, in the declaration of integrity for 2021, the judge hid the facts of administrative offenses while driving a car and also made decisions without being at the workplace, so in december 2017, when bondarenko was studying in odesa and here i am to make a decision in a case that was considered in mykolaiv, the fortunes of the judge's daughter, the mother of three children, kateryna nevzorova, are quite surprising. she has 45 real estate objects , most of them land plots in the kyiv region , however, where did the daughter get such property. she works as a judge. tonka got married early . they don't tell me about her life and activities. they report that they are working a lot, meanwhile, the judge's son-in-law oleksiy nevzorov worked as the deputy head of one of the departmen

as transparently as possible with the involvement of renewed as part of the reform of the high council of justiceation commission of judges and the new public council of integrity, however, the issue of the dismissal of former judges of the oases has not yet been decided, justice can only be the complete liquidation of one court, this must not end because in all dimensions it must be full stop both the activities of these judges and their status because they are still in the status of judges although they are no longer judges of the district court at the end of 2022 gave judicial reform another victory, the parliament passed a law that changes the system of appointing judges of the constitutional court of ukraine, although it put the reform of the constitutional court in jeopardy, this is not european integration, it is under the guise of reform of the dependents of the constitutional court and a direct path to authoritarianism, the law creates a group of experts it consists of six members, one each from the verkhovna rada of the president and the congress of judges of ukraine, one person from th

to the continuation of the reform, taking into account the unblocking of the work of the high council of justicend the restarting of the high qualification commission of judges, as a result of which seven expressed hope that ukraine will make further progress in the judicial reform and congratulated the election and eight members of the supreme anti-corruption court announced the verdict of the judge of the kyiv administrative court oleksandra braginia. she was found guilty of intentional failure to declare property in 2020 and 21. the conviction cannot receive an electronic digital signature, and while approving dozens every day, bragina signed them with the same digital signature, the judge even submitted filed a lawsuit against the national agency for the prevention of corruption in the district administrative court of kyiv and demanded that declarations be accepted in paper form. at that time, the lawsuit was satisfied , however, the court appealed the decision in the court of appeal. in the end, the investigation came to the conclusion that, according to the law , reporting one's wealth in

at the congress for certain candidates burlakov e promotes the position of a member of the high council of justice ukrainian judge is the head of the civil court of cassation e borys gulko, therefore, we understand that if burlakov is elected, he will be a person who will represent the interests of one of the very influential groups of judges in the supreme council of justice, and we understand that it will not be about fair cleaning, renewal of the judicial system, and defending the interests of a specific group of judges vsevolod knyazov, the chairman of the supreme court of ukraine yesterday addressed the judges' own judicial delegates in the e-e hall before the start of voting and asked them to remember in the interests of which state they actually work on the internet such a state would elect unscrupulous members of this supreme council of justice, what did he mean in your opinion, i think that vsevolod of the princes wanted to tell the judges that it was enough to pursue some internal clans, new interests, it is necessary to take care that the supreme council of justice remains an honest , p

bribery and continues to consider cases related to bribery, that is why the presence of the high council of justicets functionality is extremely important. moreover, we must not forget that the number one requirement of the european union for our application is precisely judicial the reform and the problem is that there is another body called the high qualification commission of judges, which is supposed to select judges for the position. it will also be formed now, but it cannot be formed without the high council of justice therefore, in essence, this is what the meeting was held and some delegated their candidates to the new p from our international partners and from society in general, because we will see and understand that it will finally be possible to do something with these bribe-taking judges and collaborators, so i will explain it very briefly so that we understand what we are striving for, what is the gulf now between ukraine and, let's say, the neighboring in poland, it is in the judiciary well, my friend on facebook and acquaintance in life, kostyantyn andriyuk, who is well known for w

deputy stanislav yurchenko, who was repeatedly brought to the disciplinary hearing by the high council of justicemember which he now wants to become. for the first time in 2018, when the judge violated the presumption of innocence for yurchenko in his articles in the newspaper, he repeatedly allowed violations of the rules of judicial ethics, in particular, he published matchmaking information in the local newspaper. criticized the state geocadastral inspector, then it turned out that all the people were checking the use of the land plot of the enterprise headed by yurchenko's wife and the disciplinary chamber of the supreme council justice brought him to disciplinary responsibility precisely for the fact that he claimed that these persons committed crimes, although in ukraine there is a presumption of innocence, in 2019 the judge was again brought to disciplinary responsibility for the fact that he delayed the consideration of the petition in the criminal case and also forgot to notify in time that the party u in this case, she offered him a bribe , the law sets a deadline for this at 5 days, yu

until march, in fact, there is still a month left until september. to restore the work of the high council of justicend the supreme qualification commission of judges of the supreme court of justice. that is , these are self-governing bodies of judicial power. igor, what items perhaps interested you the most and what did you pay attention to? i would usually talk about structural reforms and effective management. assigned to the ukrainian customs, we talk about the fact that this is such a problematic area of ​​the ukrainian state administration, i would draw attention to it, besides, we are talking about improving the management of large state companies know that such a reform began, then it stopped a little in connection with covid, then the war. but nevertheless, the issue was and remains important, as is the adoption of a plan with deregulation and improvement of the business climate. i think that this is an element not only of aid to ukraine, but actually preparation for the future reconstruction , because the european union and ukraine are interested in receiving not only state funds of interna

yuriy good morning so, last week there was important news regarding the formation of the high council of justice this is a self-governing body of judges, and here at the meeting the judges finally elected representatives to this council, it seems eight people e-e voted, but here you know the situation better than i do, you even wrote about it, at least you wrote about it on your facebook, eh, are you satisfied with what happened, eh? well , unfortunately, it turned out that the solution is good. but in essence, it's treason this is how the paradoxical story came out. the supreme council of justice is the judicial body which, let's say, punishes bad judges. you know this is the existing structure within the system. without this body, the fact is that it is very difficult to even bring judges to criminal liability within the framework of the system. corruption proceedings of law enforcement agencies, and this body did not work in our country for a very long time because there were not enough people elected to it, and they were waiting for the congress of judges to be preserved and elect their own

unethical behavior, and actually on the one hand, since this judge is a candidate for the high council of justicehich conducts the examination of candidates , and they should ask him questions about this and be very interested to hear his answers, and on the other hand, this is a bright uh, well , this is a reason for a disciplinary complaint against a judge who should be considered by the supreme council of justice and prosecuted , but there is still no supreme council of justice. unfortunately, there is no one to review these complaints, and i do not rule out that some judges allow themselves such behavior, obviously realizing that they do not yet have a supreme council of justice, they are bezkarka yes, he will go there himself . he will enter there himself, and he can also consider this complaint on his own. well, frankly, i doubt that after such an incident, first of all, he will come to be checked by the ethics council. even if i liked it very much it seems doubtful that fellow judges would support such a person, although in our history he essentially makes very different decisions, so you

very strange, and the anti-corruption program expressed the following bodies such as the high council of justiceh qualification commission, which are currently not formed and not staffed, that is, they cannot even present themselves as a full-fledged body because they are not functioning now. and what did you like? wait, what did they not like? i didn't like it, in particular, because the anti-corruption program provides for the legislative consolidation of the concepts of professional integrity as requirements for members of the vrp. that is, it will prevent further manipulation of these concepts. honorable or dishonest, and thus it will create more criteria for and requirements for the members of the higher council of justice, plus there is a strengthening of the public integrity council, that is, a strengthening of the role of the public in the inspection and selection process of judges, and of course a-a the judicial authorities spoke very much against this, and in particular the council of judges also spoke out, but in fact now those bodies are simply undermining our euro integration plans

weeks, some in the coming months, very briefly, i ask you to answer the question about the high council of justice the judges who have many questions about their integrity have been brought in. this was accidentally overlooked. is this so targeted? was there a solution, if possible, literally 20 seconds, the ethical council checked them, according to the ethical council, their explanation will be like this, i think that otherwise they will have to find out as representatives of the public answers to those questions concerning their integrity. we will see as soon as possible. we will try to get answers to these questions. i understand you. thank you very much. stepan berko - lawyer, advocacy manager of the de jure foundation was on radio svoboda well, freedom life will be back on the air on monday, subscribe to the radio pages freedom on the internet and all the best are more correct such planes and spoke quite categorically about all deputies from the ukrainian national security council oleksiy danilov, he stated that this the pro-russian party and called on the people's deputies to treat it respo

members of the supreme council of justice, and based on the results of this congress, we will see whether the supreme council of justice will be renewed, whether it will become highr it will be independent , fair, and decisive enough to dismiss such judges as vasylenko with russian citizenship, real estate or trips to the crimea, in january and february there will be interviews with candidates for the higher kovaliv commission of judges by the body responsible for evaluating judges on integrity, so in fact now the question of whether we should expect that in the future the judicial system will be cleansed of such people as vasylenko bohdan lviv and others is only being resolved at the very end of our conversation and with you i want to share with our viewers that there was a survey conducted to order center of the new europe and there it is reported that 73% of ukrainians said that it is correct that the european union requires reforms from ukraine and they must be what ukraine needs them first of all i need them why am i talking about this because the judicial reform is also one of the requirements of the european union for ukraine's path to the eu, so we will a
