ПРАВОВИЙ СТАТУС ВИЩОГО АНТИКОРУПЦІЙНОГО СУДУ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The article examines the legal status of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine - as one of the types of specialized courts of Ukraine.

It is determined that for more than two years of its operation, the court has passed almost 50 sentences, including three deputies, two deputies of the local council, and the real punishment in the form of imprisonment received by 27 corrupt officials. The court also received more than 1 billion hryvnias in bail as a precautionary measure, of which almost 100 million went to the state budget. However, such indicators are too meager in relation to the level of corruption in our country, which makes it relevant to analyze the legal status of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine for compliance with current requirements.

It is argued that the legal status of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine is a complex legal category characterized by the presence of statutory legal norms, subjective rights, freedoms and legal principles and legal guarantees, legal obligations, etc.

It is concluded that a special place in the legal status of HACC is its tasks, among which are: protects the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals in society from corruption offenses; guarantees the filling of the budget system through the judicial procedural instrument of establishing the unfoundedness of assets and their legal recovery in favor of the state; administers lawful, impartial, independent, fair and objective justice in special categories of corruption-related cases; provides the principle of specialization of the judicial system; carries out judicial control over compliance with the requirements of the law and procedural principles; conducts anti-corruption policy by protecting and restoring the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals from the negative effects of corruption through the judiciary; performs other tasks related to the development of anticorruption policy and the functioning of the judiciary in Ukraine, etc.

It is proved that the prospects for further research can be determined by the fact that the HACC has recently begun its full operation, and therefore further analysis of its activities is important for the justice system and to prevent corruption.
