|
The relevant decision of the High Council of Justice dated 08/01/2024 No. 2362/0/15-24 was published on the website of the state body. «The Constitution of Ukraine recognizes the special role of lawyers in ensuring the principles of justice, as they, along with judges, were united in a separate section of the Basic Law. At the same time, the bar is a non-governmental self-governing institution that has proved its independence from attempts to influence it, including from politicians and officials, - noted V. Gvozdiy. - Therefore, the knowledge and experience gained by the bar in law enforcement can be useful for assessing the effectiveness and relevance of the developed tools to ensure the independence of judges and the authority of justice». According to part 4 of Article 73 of the Law «On the High Council of Justice», the HCJ cooperates with the Council of Judges of Ukraine, the Public Integrity Council, public associations, relevant bodies of other states, international organizations and their bodies to develop and implement measures to ensure the independence of judges and the authority of justice. It was with the aim of fulfilling this constitutional mandate that the working group was established in April 2023. The need to amend its composition is explained by personnel changes in the HCJ Secretariat. Vice President of the UNBA, BCU V. Gvozdiy is an attorney, founder and managing partner of GOLAW. Valentyn is an honored lawyer of Ukraine (2017) and holds a PhD in Administrative Law and Procedure; Financial Law; Information Law (2020). |
