No. 2522a) aims at improving provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and strengthening the existing guarantees of judges’ independence, which will give an opportunity to change the applicable procedure of appointing and dismissing judges; reduce the role of political bodies in this process; and allow to delegate authorities in regard to resolving issues connected with judges’ activity to the jurisdiction of bodies, mostly composed of judges.
