How can lawyers and the international legal community contribute to shaping Ukraine’s legal system, ensuring justice, and building a robust framework for sustainable post-war recovery. On this panel we will discuss the following issues:
- Drafting legislation and policies for short- and long-term reforms;
- strengthening the independence of the judiciary;
- addressing post-war property rights and land disputes;
- defending human rights, accessing post-war reparations and damages (including environmental damage);
- harmonising legislation with EU standards;
- providing legal support for investments and economic development (including public-private partnerships).
