Guarantees of the right to a fair trial: ECHR case law and national context
Discussion panel
“Guarantees of the right to a fair trial: ECHR case law and national context”
Date: September 22, 2025, 10:00-15:00
Coordinator: Prof., Dr. Tetiana Tsuvina
International standards of access to justice and fair trial are important in the context of the crisis caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine, especially taking into account international obligations under para 1 art 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and an obtained status of the Candidate Country to the EU. The situation now is extremely hard for the Ukrainian judicial system, which faces different challenges, such as: changing the territorial jurisdiction and displacing of the courts and judges; transferring the cases from one court to another; reconsidering the right to be heard in the view of internally displaced persons’ inability to attend hearings; practical obstacles to gain the legal aid; the need to adhere to the reasonable time requirement and to develop methods for accelerating of the proceedings; providing access to public registers, especially to the State Register of Court Judgments and the case-law of the Supreme Court; difficulties arising in conducting a trial in different categories of the cases (adoption cases, jury trials, cases connected with the incapability of the person and custody etc.); emergence of the new categories of cases, connected with the war aggression, and the immunity of Russian Federation etc. The discussion panel is aimed to create a platform for fruitful professional discussion of practical challenges for civil justice during the war and further development of civil justice in terms of international standards of fair trial, taking into account the need for further adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to EU legislation.
