Head of the Supreme Court Valentyna Danishevska calls on the delegates of the 18th regular Congress of Judges to elect worthy representatives of the judiciary to the bodies of judicial administration and local authorities.
Speaking on Tuesday at the opening of the Congress of Judges in Kyiv, Danishevska noted that confidence in judges in Ukraine is not being restored as quickly as one would like.

G7 Ambassadors have called on the Council of Judges of Ukraine to postpone the appointment of judges to the High Council of Justice (HCJ) and the Constitutional Court until new selection processes are approved.
