Judicial reform and processes surrounding it are on the top of Ukraine’s agenda lately. Apart from problems concerning the final stage of creating the new Supreme Court, 25 percent of candidates to which don’t fit the criteria of integrity and professional ethics, there are other challenges too. One of them is the process of lustration of judges who unlawfully prosecuted participants of the EuroMaidan Revolution. The share of such dismissed judges is critically low, activists said at a press briefing in the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center. However, activists are afraid that eventually even those dismissed will return to their duties.
