THE CONCEPT OF ANTI-CORRUPTION COURT REFORM

Abstract

An attempt was made to structure the problem of corruption by objects, areas of its manifestation, highlighted the types of corruption, corruption risks that arise in various spheres of society. Identified the most socially dangerous form of corruption.

It is substantiated that the degree of public danger of corruption in the executive and legislative branches is immeasurable, many orders of magnitude higher than corruption in other areas, in particular, in the courts. The magnitude of judicial corruption is greatly exaggerated. Serious research on corruption in the courts is practically not conducted. Constantly imposed on the Ukrainian (and foreign) communities, ideas about widespread corruption in the courts of Ukraine contributed to the formation of an appropriate stereotype in the perception of the judicial environment as highly corrupt and convinced of the need to prioritize the fight against corruption in the courts.

The current oligarchic power, as well as politicians — aspirants to this power are interested in preserving elite corruption, hide it behind judicial corruption. Judicial reform was carried out unprofessionally. The emphasis in the reform was made on the human factor, but not on reducing its share in the judicial process, on personnel cleansing, on the “full reboot” of the courts (by checking the judges), and not on ensuring unambiguity and predictability of a particular court decision. Corruption risks in the processes of “complete reloading”, personnel cleaning of vessels immeasurably increase.

We consider the measures implemented by the judicial reform, corruption and the main directions of improving the quality of decisions taken in the courts. Reveals the reasons for the failure of the current judicial reform and determined the ways of its successful implementation. The most important factor in overcoming judicial corruption is the formation of public respect for the judicial system, rather than defying it in order to divert public attention from corruption in the executive and legislative branches.
