THE COURT'S ROLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The judiciary plays a crucial role in ensuring democracy in Ukraine by protecting human rights and preventing abuse of legislative and executive power. The priority of a democratic state does not guarantee the rights and freedoms of citizens, which is the basis of the functioning of the state. The judiciary is the guarantor of the protection of human rights and the resolution of legal conflicts. The Constitutional and general courts are changing their critical role in this process. Still, the current state of the judicial system in Ukraine supports the low trust of citizens and problems with material and technical support and support in considering cases. The process of judicial reform, which is ongoing in Ukraine, is crucial for democratizing the state and society. Still, the need for more consistency in implementing reforms has led to the imperfection of the justice system. An integral part of a democratic state is an effective and independent judicial system, which guarantees the protection of the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of a person and a citizen. The relationship between the development of the judicial system and democratization creates prerequisites for strengthening the judiciary's role and ensuring the guarantees of an independent, impartial, and professional justice system. Judicial reform is a priority area in Ukraine's law making process and state building.
