🌍 African-level achievement or the failure of the year? A Grand Chamber judge failed the selection in The Hague
Last year we recalled how Denys Maslov compared the Ukrainian judicial reform to the “leading democracy of Africa” — Gabon.

Back then we joked about sending our reformers on exchange visits. But fresh news from The Hague proves: we still have a long way to go to catch up with Africa.
The Advisory Committee on the Nomination of Judges of the International Criminal Court published the results of July interviews with candidates. The assessment of the Ukrainian representative’s qualifications was devastating.

📊 Selection results (who passed the exam and how):
🇬🇲 Gambia — well qualified (high qualification)
🇰🇪 Kenya — well qualified
🇹🇿 Tanzania — well qualified
🇨🇩 DRC — well qualified
🇲🇼 Malawi — formally qualified (meets requirements)
🇬🇭 Ghana — formally qualified
🇺🇬 Uganda — formally qualified
🇸🇳 Senegal — formally qualified
❌ UKRAINE — NOT QUALIFIED (does not meet requirements)
Who is this single failed candidate on the entire selection map?
It is a Grand Chamber judge of the Supreme Court and, concurrently, Chair of the Ethics Council (which selects members of the High Council of Justice) — Lev Kyshakevych.
The main reason for the diplomatic embarrassment was a basic lack of language skills, which prevented the ICC committee from even assessing his knowledge of the Rome Statute.
As they say, the cobbler without shoes. The person overseeing the “purging” and selection of personnel for the entire Ukrainian judicial system turned out to be professionally unfit for international justice.
We recall the classic line: what other damn reforms do you still need?
