Implementation of international standards in civil law and procedure in Ukraine

The relevance of this work is determined by Ukraine’s urgent need to ensure effective protection of human rights in the context of European integration and martial law by adapting civil law and procedure to international standards. The full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation has exacerbated the problem of protecting the rights of the civilian population and compensating for damage caused by armed aggression. This brings to the fore the issue of the rapid adaptation of civil liability mechanisms and procedural guarantees to the standards of humanitarian and international private law, including the effective enforcement of court decisions and the transnational recognition of claims for compensation. The aim of this work was to develop a comprehensive, phased model for the implementation of these standards, taking into account European requirements. The study uses comparative legal analysis and IDEF0 functional modelling. Based on the IDEF0 model, it has been established that there are three key interrelated stages: harmonisation of legislation, institutional transformation and continuous monitoring of implementation. Aspects such as the reform of judicial governance bodies, the digitisation of judicial proceedings, and the introduction of compensation mechanisms for violations of the right to a reasonable time were analysed, and the results of the comparative experience of European Union countries were summarised. It was established that the systematic implementation of the proposed steps will significantly improve the compliance of Ukrainian civil procedure with international requirements and strengthen the trust of society and international partners in the legal system. The practical value of the work lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used by legislators, judicial authorities, relevant ministries and educational institutions in the development of regulations, planning of reforms and training of lawyers

Abstract

The relevance of this work is determined by Ukraine’s urgent need to ensure effective protection of human rights in the context of European integration and martial law by adapting civil law and procedure to international standards. The full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation has exacerbated the problem of protecting the rights of the civilian population and compensating for damage caused by armed aggression. This brings to the fore the issue of the rapid adaptation of civil liability mechanisms and procedural guarantees to the standards of humanitarian and international private law, including the effective enforcement of court decisions and the transnational recognition of claims for compensation. The aim of this work was to develop a comprehensive, phased model for the implementation of these standards, taking into account European requirements. The study uses comparative legal analysis and IDEF0 functional modelling. Based on the IDEF0 model, it has been established that there are three key interrelated stages: harmonisation of legislation, institutional transformation and continuous monitoring of implementation. Aspects such as the reform of judicial governance bodies, the digitisation of judicial proceedings, and the introduction of compensation mechanisms for violations of the right to a reasonable time were analysed, and the results of the comparative experience of European Union countries were summarised. It was established that the systematic implementation of the proposed steps will significantly improve the compliance of Ukrainian civil procedure with international requirements and strengthen the trust of society and international partners in the legal system. The practical value of the work lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used by legislators, judicial authorities, relevant ministries and educational institutions in the development of regulations, planning of reforms and training of lawyers
