Military justice in Ukraine: pros and cons

A roundtable discussion was held last week in Kyiv on the subject of military justice in Ukraine. Details here.

The participants explored several key issues, including:

  • Ukraine's path to EU and NATO integration: harmonization of judicial systems and the feasibility of establishing a military justice structure in Ukraine.
  • The military justice system: military police, military prosecutors, military courts, and frameworks for providing specialized legal assistance to service members—are there viable alternatives?
  • National mechanisms for ensuring impartial investigations and trials of military and war crimes, as well as mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of the Rome Statute.
  • Military legal relations and military service—do lawyers need specific expertise in military law?
