The new members of the commission will be selected by the panel partially composed of international experts. Moreover, the latter will have a meaningful role in the selection process. Secondly, the High Council of Justice (HCJ) will be cleansed from dishonest members with the help of the Ethics Commission, also partially composed of international experts with a crucial role. 

The law addressed most of the concerns of the civil society and the international community, apart from downsizing the Supreme Court. CSOs which have been monitoring the establishment of the Supreme Court from the very beginning are convinced that the Court indeed should be cleaned of dubious judges, but on an individual basis, with clear criteria, by new trusted judicial governance bodies. 

We believe that despite flaws, which have to be corrected, the law paves the way for a qualitatively new phase of the judicial reform - cleansing of the judicial governance bodies - and we hope that international partners will help Ukraine to make maximum use of this chance and will actively engage in its implementation. More details about the draft law.
