A delegation of senior Ukrainian judges recently met with government and judicial figures north and south of the border as part of a high-level judicial exchange.

Organised by Irish Rule of Law International (IRLI) in partnership with the EU Advisory Mission Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine) and the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, the visit enabled direct engagement between the Ukrainian delegation and Irish and Northern Ireland judges, academics, and international legal experts.

The visit by seven Ukrainian judges builds on previous Ukrainian judicial exchanges to Dublin and Belfast facilitated by IRLI and EUAM Ukraine.
