Page 50 - Report on the infringement of rights and guarantees of attorneys in Ukraine
P. 50
CONCLUSIONS
The facts presented in this report show the dangerous aspects of
the attorney’s work and systematic violation of his/her
professional rights. Each case requires close attention from state
authorities, civil society and international institutions, since it
severely weakens the ability of advocacy to perform its functions.
The report aims to draw attention to violations of attorneys’ rights
and become one of the joint pilot initiatives for groups interested
in solving these issues. The main trends in violations of the rights of
attorneys and their profession, have been determined using the
practice of the European Court of Human Rights, thereby
confirming the existence of deep issues in the exercise of the
professional rights and guarantees of attorneys in Ukraine.
The proposals set out in the report on counteracting negative
trends can become the beginning of extensive work to
overcome the difficult situation that has emerged in Ukraine.
The report may be of interest to attorneys, representatives of Bar
self-government and state agencies, as well as public and
political groups working on the issue of protection of the
professional rights and guarantees of attorneys both in Ukraine
and abroad.
