The VII International Criminal Law Forum, which was recently held in Kyiv with the support of ESQUIRES, became an important platform for discussing a number of topical issues in the field of criminal law.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Forum participants identified several key areas that require attention:
    \nPlea bargaining:
    \nThe legislative changes that entered into force on 1 November have improved the mechanism for concluding plea bargaining agreements, but there is a risk of abuse of this tool, particularly in terms of prejudice and economic impact.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Confiscation of assets:
    \n– Asset confiscation has become an important tool in the fight against corruption. It is important to ensure that such sanctions have a real economic impact.
    \n– Plea bargaining can facilitate a more rapid recovery of losses for the state through confiscation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Reform the judicial system:
    \n– Local courts face problems with delays in considering corruption cases, which affects the efficiency of the judiciary.
    \n– The High Anti-Corruption Court has shown a higher level of efficiency, issuing decisions promptly and reducing the time taken to consider cases.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The need for further reforms:
    \n– Continued improvement of judicial practice and legislation on plea bargaining is important for the achievement of justice.
    \n– It is necessary to ensure proper monitoring of the implementation of plea bargaining agreements in order to avoid their use as a mechanism of pressure or manipulation in judicial practice.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

    We sincerely thank the organiser, Yurydychna Praktyka, for hosting this important event and for the opportunity to discuss the pressing issues of criminal law and anti-corruption in Ukraine.
