Four Years After: The "Long March" of Justice-Sector Reforms in Ukraine [1]

  • Publication
  • Table of contents

Four years after the Euromaidan protesters demanded an end to corruption, a transparent democratic process and greater accountability, Ukraine is struggling to bring the reform of its justice sector to completion. While the international community and an outspoken handful of non-governmental organizations tirelessly propose solutions to overcome fresh stumbling blocks, which are often of a political rather than a technical nature, entrenched and vested interests are slowing down the process. A newly established Anti-corruption Court and a renewed Supreme Court might prove a “litmus test” for all justice-sector reforms in the country. Either way, the time has come for Ukraine to deliver; the momentum for reform might soon come to an end with the approach of the presidential election in 2019.
