APPLICATION OF EXPERIENCE OF FOREIGN JUDICIARY SYSTEMS DURING JUDICIARY REFORM IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The term «international legal standards» is considered to be the most acceptable designation of the rules for the national legislation of Ukraine. Such rules are included in various international documents and in standardized rules of conduct of subjects in certain areas of intergovernmental cooperation. Their significance for the national legislation of Ukraine lies in the fact that they perform the function of a guideline. But such rules require adaption to the norms of domestic law. During the years of independence, the judicial system of Ukraine has been reformed repeatedly. However, the objectives set before it have never been implemented. For a successful judicial reform, one pattern can be traced: reform of the judicial system should take place in a comprehensive manner: reforming the judicial system itself and other related legal institutions. Therefore, the problem of reforming the judiciary in Ukraine has never been so relevant as nowadays. The most important preconditions for the development of civil society should be quality, stable legislation and effective justice. These can really provide a reliable protection of human rights and freedoms, the interests of society and of the state in order to eradicate tyranny and iniquity. A theoretical understanding of the issues of the implementation of judicial and legal reform is necessary in order to ensure the effective functioning and further development of the judicial system. Such research is necessary for the study and further consideration of problems that arise in the process of reform.
