PRAWNE ASPEKTY DEOLIGARCHIZACJI W GRUZJI, MOŁDAWII I UKRAINIE
LEGAL ASPECTS OF DE-OLIGARCHIZATION IN GEORGIA, MOLDOVA, AND UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: The article is a comparative study of legislative actions taken by Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine to combat oligarchization. These countries are encouraged to pursue these actions due to their association with the European Union, while the extent of the de-oligarchization efforts is developed in dialogue with the Council of Europe, and in particular with the Venice Commission. The following paper discusses the influence of the Venice Commission on the legislative processes concerning this issue in the three countries and the outcomes: the law on de-oligarchization in Ukraine and the action plans adopted by Georgia and Moldova. The paper argues that the Venice Commission, recognizing the importance of the discussed problem for the functioning of democratic rule-of-law states, negatively assesses legal acts directed against specific individuals and formulates allegations regarding potential violations of human rights.
