Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SEJMOWY - Year 2018, Vol 144, Issue 1
Abstract
The article brings up issues of the change of the constitutional order in Ukraine in February 2014. For that reason the normative acts passed during that period by Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (concerning the change of constitutional order) are discussed, in particular: (a) the Act of February 21st, 2014 on Restoring Specific Provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, (b) Resolution of February 22nd, 2014 and (c) Resolution of February 24th, 2014. Detailed analysis of Ukrainian parliament’s acts mentioned above (including the reasons for their adoption) in the light of the Constitution legally binding at that time, judicial decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and literature, leads to the conclusion that the change of constitutional order in Ukraine occurred in a manner inconsistent with the Basic Law of Ukraine, primarily in violation of the principles of: supremacy of Constitution, separation of powers, legality of operation of State authorities and independence of the judiciary, and ban on state power usurpation. This analysis proves an assumption made in the article that Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine introduced amendments to the constitutional order unlawfully.
