    "Acquis вступу" як складова феномену права Європейського Союзу: [препринт]
    (2012) Петров, Роман
    Процес європейської інтеграції породив безліч новел політичного, економічного і правового характеру, які зумовили привабливість європейської моделі регіональної інтеграції для країн всього світу, включаючи Україну. У юридичній сфері ЄС поки є єдиним прикладом успішно функціонуючої наднаціональної правової системи в рамках окремо взятої регіональної міжнародної організації. Унікальність правової системи ЄС характеризується верховенством і прямою дією її норм в країнах-членах ЄС, а також наявністю правових досягнень - "аcquis communautaire", які повинні розділяти і застосовувати як країни-члени ЄС, так і країни, що претендують на отримання членства ЄС.

    All's well that ends well: short story of Ukraine's road towards European Union membership
    (2024) Petrov, Roman
    The state of the EU–Ukraine relations cannot be comprehended without a profound understanding of its historical, legal, and political evolution. In fact, the EU–Ukraine relations have always mirrored the entire complexity of the EU’s external policies, ambitions, and difficulties of the EU enlargement and today’s search for EU strategic autonomy. The objective of this article is to fill in the gap and to offer a three-dimensional analysis of the EU–Ukraine relations. The first dimension is the study of the historical evolution of the EU–Ukraine relations from the time of Ukraine’s independence in 1991 till Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Therein the EU–Ukraine relations are looked through the prism of geopolitical changes within and outside the EU. The full independence of Ukraine in 1991, so- called ‘Orange revolution’ in 2005 and the ‘Revolution of Dignity’ in 2014 have been linked to the evolving EU policies towards Ukraine and the entire post-Soviet area. The second dimension is a legal scrutiny of the main contractual documents between the EU and Ukraine since 1991. This article offers an in-depth study of bilateral EU–Ukraine agreements (Partnership and Cooperation Agreement of 1998 and Association Agreement of 2014). The third dimension is an attempt to comprehend how Ukraine’s bid for full EU membership in 2022 could help to stop the blatant military and humanitarian aggression by Russia and to contribute to a fair peace deal. The purpose of this article is to set out the framework of the study of EU relations with third countries in context of historical evolution of such country, geopolitical challenges around it, and legal nature of bilateral contractual tools and policies that, eventually, may lead either to a gradual integration with the EU or to the full EU membership.

    Applying the European Union's 'Energy Acquis' in Eastern Neighbouring Countries: the Cases of Ukraine and Moldova
    (2014) Petrov, Roman
    The Treaty of Lisbon paved the way for legal formalization of new European Union policies and significantly enhanced the external dimension of the European Union Internal Market. The newly emerged European Union energy policy is a good example of this. External objectives of the European Union energy policy are being fulfilled through the Energy Community which embraces not only European Union Member States and candidate countries but also third countries without any perspective of membership in the EU. The Energy Community is designed as a perfect example of the ‘integration without membership’ model which gives a stake for third countries in the European Union Internal Market and promotes European Union’s sectoral acquis beyond the EU borders and plays a role of a laboratory working on better and deeper engagement of third countries into expanding the European Legal Space. This article focuses on challenges of the process of the application of the EU ‘energy acquis’ in Ukraine and Moldova.

    Approximation of laws in the EU-Ukraine association agreement
    (2014) Petrov, Roman
    The article considers the scope of “approximation” of laws provisions in the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement that is the most voluminous and ambitious among all EU association agreements with third countries. There are many novelties introduced to this agreement. Most prominent of them are strong emphasis on comprehensive regulatory convergence between the EU and Ukraine and possibility for application of the EU acquis within the Ukrainian legal order. The process of effective implementation of the Association Agreement will constitute the greatest challenge for Ukraine. It has to prove their adherence to the EU’s common democratic and economic values, and ensure the proper functioning of their deep and comprehensive free trade areas.

    Article 8 TEU: Towards a New Generation of Agreements with the Neighbouring Countries of the European Union?
    (2011) Petrov, Roman; Van Elsuwege, Peter
    Article 8 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) provides a new legal basis for developing the European Union’s relations with its neighbouring countries. This contribution traces the origins of this provision and analyses its objectives and potential application in practice. It is argued that Article 8 TEU codifies the conditionality approach of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and introduces a differentiation with traditional association agreements for political reasons. The launch of the Eastern Partnership in May 2009, including the offer of concluding association agreements with the EU’s eastern partners, largely undermines the significance of this distinction. It is, however, not to be excluded that Article 8 TEU is used in relation to other neighbouring countries, which are not interested in formal association with the EU.

    Between ‘Common Values’ and Competing Universals: The Promotion of the EU’s Common Values through the European Neighbourhood Policy: [preprint]
    (2009) Petrov, Roman; Leino, Paivi
    The aim of this article is to discuss the position of common values in the domain of EU external relations. The article looks at the role of common values in defining the EU's identity in its external policies and uses the European Neighbourhood Policy as an example. It is argued that the notion 'common values' is used by the EU institutions as both a 'universal' and an 'EU' concept, which highlights their abstract nature. Such abstraction is also reflected in the way in which Russia has recently aimed at developing its own set of 'common values' to be adopted by the neighbour countries. It is concluded that the ENP does not promote jointly shared common values to be adopted by neighbour countries. Instead, it employs a conditionality policy to ensure that the EU’s own understanding of the meaning of its values are adopted by neighbour countries.

    Christian Orthodoxy between Geopolitics and International Law. How the War in Ukraine Divided the Orthodox Church
    (2024) Petrov, Roman
    The aim of this article is threefold. First, it scrutinises the historical and geopolitical reasons underlying the conflict between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople over the issue of establishing an autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Second, it highlights the Russian Orthodox Church’s alarming conformism and alliance with the authoritarian Putin regime in Russia. It illustrates that the Russian Orthodox Church became de facto the main ideological pillar of Russia’s brutal violations of international law and values of humanity in the war in Ukraine. This finalité made the Russian Orthodox Church act as a maleficent power (commentators use even stronger definition of ‘evil power’). Third, it studies the status of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), which, due to its institutional connection to the Russian Orthodox Church, is seen as a national security threat to war-torn Ukraine. This contribution also examines if the prosecution of the Moscow-affiliated Ukrainian Orthodox Church may be considered a significant impediment to Ukraine’s integration into the European Union (EU). These cases provide a good illustration of the dilemma faced by the Orthodox Church in the context of the war in Ukraine. The Church can either serve the national interests and geopolitical realities of its patron state or promote eternal Christian values of humanity, peace and non-violence at the expense of its reputation and well-being. The solution might look obvious but is in fact extremely difficult since no Christian church in the world can successfully confront totalitarian/autocratic regimes that openly disregard the fundamentals of international law and common values of humanity.

    Construing national and ethnic groups under the Genocide Convention through Soviet and Russian narratives on the Ukrainian identities
    (2024) Vishchyk, Maksym
    Debates on the genocidal nature of Russian atrocities in Ukraine have uncovered various grey zones of the law on genocide. While most contemporary commentaries have focused on the essence and scope of the crime’s central element – the intent to destroy the group in whole or in part – little analysis has been dedicated to defining and understanding the alleged object of the destruction, i.e., protected groups themselves. Even beyond the Ukrainian context, this problem is endemic to contemporary doctrine and jurisprudence, providing a rather cursory or even contradictory analysis of the notions of protected groups seemingly without recourse to other fields studying human identities, such as anthropology. This article aims to address this lacuna by exploring the dichotomy between national and ethnic groups under the Genocide Convention through Soviet and Russian identity narratives. The article summarises the state of contemporary law and jurisprudence relevant to the definition of the protected groups, as well as associated gaps and inconsistencies. It further addresses challenging issues of the groups’ definition and delimitation through the lenses of modern anthropology, where the law is silent. The article stresses the importance of multidisciplinary and contextualised application of the legal concepts under the law of genocide in light of the meaning ascribed to them by other fields of study focusing on group identities and inter-group dynamics. Finally, the article applies relevant findings to the context of Soviet and further Russian narratives on the Ukrainian identities, illustrating the dichotomy between national and ethnic groups.

    The Correlation of Constitutional and International Law : The Ukrainian Case
    (2020) Koziubra, Mykola; Zvieriev, Ievgen
    Constitutional and international law often interrelate and regulate certain areas differently. The legal scholar’s viewpoint significantly determines his or her approach to the role of international and constitutional law in certain legal circumstances. This article focuses on the issue of determining the place of international treaties and generally recognized international law principles and norms in Ukraine’s domestic legal system. Ukraine has a well-established practice of automatically recognizing international treaties’ priority over its norms of domestic legislation, but this priority cannot be regarded as absolute. This article argues that legal scholars advance different arguments on this because they apply different approaches—approaches that originate either in constitutional or international law.

    Current challenges for the implementation of constitutional reform on judiciary in Ukraine on its way towards European integration
    (2018) Mykhaylyuk, Halyna
    Reform of the judiciary is a key conditionality imposed by the EU, IMF and other donors on Ukraine (UA). Significant reforms of the judicial system approved by the Verkhovna Rada of UA (Parliament) on 2 June 2016 will take effect over the coming months and years. A new Supreme Court and a strengthened system of evaluation, monitoring and appointing judges will come into being. It is the first Supreme Court selection of such scale in history. Never before has there been any competition for the UA Supreme Court. Judges, lawyers and academics are now able to compete. Video streaming has been available at all testing stages, with the exception of the psychological test. On paper at least the independence of the judiciary has been strengthened. How far UA authorities in fact do so will depend on further actions, including the adoption of additional legislation. While the onus is on them to make these reforms work, the EU and the rest of the international community will also need to observe the process closely and take targeted action to ensure that the reforms move in the right direction when required.

    Digitalization of financial services and challenges of adaptation of control
    (2021) Mykhailiuk, Galyna; Rustamzade, A.; Bakhishov, A.
    Recently, we heard much more about digitalization and related processes around the world. In other words, digitalization is already an important part of modern trends. The main aspects of digitalization, digital transformation and its impact on the financial services of the banks have been discussed and analyzed in this article. Along with the effect of digitalization on everyone’s life, the influence on financial services of the banks and on their businesses are also important. It is noted that banks need to make changes in their approaches to financial services, business models and strategies in accordance with the new requirements. The paper also focuses on the start of a new digital age in financial markets and the need for the regulator to adopt a new approach over the course of its existence. Formation of the reality of regulators working with wider companies and areas, the need to analyze the larger databases, the importance of extensive use of digital opportunities for more effective run of their functions have been examined. It is stated that the supervisors should be interested in technological development, take the leadership in its application, have to consider possible development trends, new regulations with financial institutions, as well as large bigtech companies. In this regard, the measures taken by the European regulatory authorities, innovations have been analyzed, as well. Emphasizing the importance of defining a common framework approach by the ECB, aspects of the policy set by national regulators within that framework are examined. The obvious positive advantages of new technological solutions application are also discussed. Thus, possibility of modern technological development to create a fertile ground for concealing a number of criminal acts, such as money laundering, terrorism, fraud and tax evasion is noted.
