Ukraine first country to involve foreign experts in judge selection process - Hooper

Ukraine has become the first sovereign state in the world to involve foreign experts in the process of selection of judges.

Chairman of the Public Council of International Experts (PCIE) Sir Anthony Hooper said this at a training seminar for judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Hooper said that this is a significant achievement and that the whole process was very transparent.

At the same time, he stressed that the creation of an anti-corruption court was only one of many aspects needed to win the fight against corruption. "This is your responsibility," Hooper said, appealing to judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court.
