Problems of formation and development of the supreme anti-corruption court of Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes the legal framework for the development and functioning of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court. The article substantiates the expediency of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine to conduct only interviews, testing of professional knowledge and skills, to consider issues of integrity, morality of candidates. Then form lists of those candidates who meet the requirements of current legislation on professionalism, morality, integrity, experience and qualifications. Then propose to hold elections of judges to the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court by the population of the country through electronic voting. An electronic identification of a person can be an electronic signature (for example, an electronic signature used to submit an electronic declaration of a person authorized to perform the functions of the state or local government). This will enable people to elect those judges whom they consider honest, impartial and professional. In addition, it would be appropriate to prescribe the procedure for recalling judges of the Anti-Corruption Court, if such a person has committed an offense. Normalization of such procedures requires amendments to the current legal documents of Ukraine. The study notes that for the effectiveness of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine, the following steps should be taken: first, a transparent system for appointing judges of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine and their responsibility for unreasonable decisions should be introduced; secondly, the introduction of transparency in the activities of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine; thirdly, determining the procedure for recalling judges by citizens of Ukraine; fourth, to provide a procedure for reporting judges to citizens of Ukraine.
