The realm of justice in Ukraine has seen significant activity in 2024, with the European Court of Human Rights playing a pivotal role in disputes involving Ukraine. Notably, the Court dismissed Russia's case against Ukraine, strengthening Ukraine’s stance on the international stage. Domestically, controversies continue as Ukrainian courts handle cases involving high-profile figures such as Roman Chervinskyi and Viktor Medvedchuk, the latter’s complaint being rejected by the ECHR as unfounded.

Judicial integrity remains under scrutiny as incidents like the dual citizenship of Judge Liudmyla Arestova emerge, raising concerns over Russian influence. President Zelenskyi's calls for judicial reform underscore the urgency to restore public trust and overhaul the justice system. The sensational case of the banned book about Vasyl Stus and the ongoing investigations into the murder of activist Kateryna Handziuk and journalist Pavlo Sheremet are testaments to the judicial challenges and media freedom issues facing Ukraine.

This period also highlighted the continued legal maneuvers in Ukraine, including the reinstatement of judges and the contentious decisions surrounding potential biases within the judiciary. The narratives of justice in Ukraine are complex, evolving, and crucial to the country's path towards enhanced rule of law and democracy.
