“There is reasonable doubt that in the case of the adoption of the draft Law of Ukraine No. 7440 “On Higher anti-corruption court,” he will allow an independent and unbiased selection of judges and to ensure the proper functioning of the future of Higher anti-corruption court,” the statement said.

In Transparency International notes that the draft law provides for only Advisory role of the Public Council of international experts, but the Venice Commission recommended granting a crucial role to international experts in the selection process of judges.

It is noted that in the President’s bill extended the jurisdiction includes a number of crimes that are actually under investigation of national police and National Bureau of investigation. This in turn loads the Higher anti-corruption court with too many cases.
