The panel discussion focuses on the practical challenges of ensuring access to justice and upholding the guarantees of the right to a fair trial in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as on prospects for the further development of the justice system in line with international fair trial standards and the requirements of European integration.

The relevance of the panel stems from the fact that the exercise of the right to a fair trial, guaranteed, inter alia, by Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights, faces numerous organisational and procedural challenges in wartime. The Ukrainian justice system has had to adapt to changes in territorial jurisdiction, the relocation of courts and judges, the transfer of cases between courts, while ensuring the continuity of the administration of justice under conditions of limited resources and security risks. Particular attention needs to be paid to guarantees of access to justice for internally displaced persons, access to free legal aid, compliance with reasonable time requirements for the examination of cases, and the effective implementation of specific fair trial guarantees in criminal proceedings.

The aim of the panel is to provide a platform for professional dialogue among representatives of the judiciary, academia, the legal profession and other stakeholders on effective mechanisms for ensuring access to justice and fairness in the administration of justice during wartime. Particular emphasis will be placed on identifying practical solutions that are consistent with international standards while taking into account Ukraine\u2019s European integration commitments.

The practical outcome of the panel is expected to be a shared understanding of the key directions for safeguarding fair trial guarantees during the war and in the post-war recovery period, as well as the development of proposals for improving legislation, judicial procedures and institutional mechanisms aimed at enhancing access to justice and the effectiveness of the justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
