The Agency for Legislative Initiatives is a professional and impartial analytical centre open to constructive suggestions and criticism. A peer review procedure, or reviewing, ensures the high quality of our analytical products. However, even the best mechanism cannot fully protect against errors. Our public sector colleagues have fairly noted an incorrect reference in the report “Judicial Influence: Role of Courts in Reform Implementation in Ukraine.” We apologise to the readers for this error, and we are grateful to our colleagues for the opportunity to correct it. Such feedback allows us to improve our products and, at the same time, develops the reputation of our institution in Ukraine.
The text of the report has been updated, and the error has been corrected. In particular, in the thematic block on the substantiation of drawbacks of the draft law “On Restoring Trust in the Judiciary,” the reference to an incorrect source was replaced by a reference to the expert opinion of the following recognised experts: Tetiana Ruda – expert of the CPLR on Judiciary, PhD in law; Yevhen Zakharov – human rights activist, founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union, director of Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group; and Valentyna Telichenko – lawyer.
We take this opportunity to encourage the professional community to continue providing feedback on this report and our other analytical products.
