During the event, the President of the Supreme Court, Stanislav Kravchenko, outlined the key issues identified by the ECHR in the judgments delivered against Ukraine in 2023 and focused on the steps to be taken to implement general measures to comply with ECHR judgments.
The President of the Supreme Court also thanked the Council of Europe's Cooperation Programmes Department within the projects ‘Support to the functioning of justice in the war and post-war context in Ukraine’, ‘Fostering human rights in the criminal justice system in Ukraine’ and the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine within the project ‘Assisting the Supreme Court and higher courts in implementing judicial reform and ensuring access to justice in times of war’ for their cooperation and assistance in holding a series of roundtables.
