Abstract
The article deals with peculiarities of implementation and operation of anti-corruption justice within the context of European standards. It has been noted that the issue of prevention and fight against corruption has become international for a long time. Adoption of various international documents which determine the main standards of counteraction to this negative social phenomenon proves it. Attention has been focused to the special institutions of justice related to corruption cases stipulated in the third principle of Twenty Guiding Principles against Corruption adopted by the Resolution of the Committee of Ministers. It has been highlighted that modern integration of Ukraine in European community is based on Association Agreement between EU and Ukraine. It has been noted that fight against corruption is a key point of this document. It has been stressed that establishment and proper operation of anti-corruption justice is extremely important for implementation of European standards in Ukraine. Problems regarding the procedure of holding the position of judge of the High Anti-corruption Court have been addressed. It has been identified that certain limitations can be understood as if they relate to independence from any political parties and organizations, existence of clear record from corruption etc. At the same time limitations which relate to holding certain positions in the past do not comply with legislation on prevention and counteraction to discrimination in Ukraine. Moreover, taking into account Art. 127 of the Constitution of Ukraine other requirements to education and professional background can be established for the judges of special courts. In this case it is more about requirements and not limitations for appointment to the position of the judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court. The issue of the exercise of judicial control by the High Anti-Corruption Court has been addressed. It has been noted that location of the High Anti-Corruption Court in Kyiv together with investigative judges can complicate criminal proceedings on corruption and other related crimes. Future provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine which will complicate the activities of the pre-trial investigation bodies and result in substantial expenses for (investigative) detectives to come and participate in handling of petitions done by the investigative judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine. Proposals to effective legislation has been made.
