Abstract

Research article analyzes the issues of the improvement of the anti-corruption system, anti-corruption and judicial reform in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the main purpose of anti-corruption reform in Ukraine is to significantly reduce the level of corruption, losses of the state budget and business and to enhance the standing of Ukraine in international rankings. It is noted that a number of issues related to the establishment and functioning of anti-corruption bodies, declaration of property of civil servants, prevention and settlement of conflicts of interest, verification of the righteousness of employees, etc. still remain unresolved. It is emphasized that one of the main components of the formation and implementation of an effective anti-corruption system is a clear interaction of law enforcement institutions at the national and interstate levels. It is noted that it is impossible to effectively fight corruption without an independent judiciary and the Rule of Law. Legislative initiatives of the President of Ukraine in the judiciary also address issues related to the prevention and fight against corruption, in particular: the righteousness of the judiciary, the “reset” of the High Qualifications Commission of Judges and the High Council of Justice. The Venice Commission has repeatedly drawn attention to the need for appropriate legislative changes on these issues. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the urgent task is to change the High Qualifications Commission of Judges, in particular, it is suggested to found a mixed national-international body – the competition commission to select new members of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine, and to review the High Council of Justice.
