2020–2021 Ukrainian Constitutional Crisis
There was a constitutional crisis in Ukraine from 27 October until 25 December 2020, with an aftermath until about May 2022. On 27 October 2020, decision No. 13-r/2020 of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (CCU) invalidated much of Ukraine's 2014 anti-corruption reform as unconstitutional. The resulting situation made it almost impossible to effectively investigate and prosecute judges (including those on Constitutional Court itself) and other public officials for financial corruption (such as bribery). In response to the highly controversial ruling, the legislative and executive branches of the government of Ukraine, aided by international organisations such as the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe, made quick efforts to remedy the situation with the new Law No. 1079-IX of 15 December 2020, restoring the functioning of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP). In the aftermath, there was a confrontation between the executive and judicial branch of the governm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Constitutional Crisis
In political science, a constitutional crisis is a problem or conflict in the function of a government that the constitution, political constitution or other fundamental governing law is perceived to be unable to resolve. There are several variations to this definition. For instance, one describes it as the crisis that arises out of the failure, or at least a strong risk of failure, of a constitution to perform its central functions. The crisis may arise from a variety of possible causes. For example, a government may want to pass a law contrary to its constitution; the constitution may fail to provide a clear answer for a specific situation; the constitution may be clear, but it may be politically infeasible to follow it; the government institutions themselves may falter or fail to live up to what the law prescribes them to be; or officials in the government may justify avoiding dealing with a serious problem based on narrow interpretations of the law. Specific examples include th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dissenting Opinion
A dissenting opinion (or dissent) is an Legal opinion, opinion in a legal case in certain legal systems written by one or more judges expressing disagreement with the majority opinion of the court which gives rise to its judgment. Dissenting opinions are normally written at the same time as the majority opinion and any concurring opinions, and are also delivered and published at the same time. A dissenting opinion does not create binding precedent nor does it become a part of case law, though they can sometimes be cited as a form of persuasive authority in subsequent cases when arguing that the court's Holding (law), holding should be limited or overturned.
