d. Justice system and right to trial<br />
When evaluating the Ukrainian justice system, HRC noted the persistent problem of<br />
corruption and lack of full transparency of the process of appointing judges. The Committee<br />
recommended establishment of an independent body that would administer the judiciary.<br />
CESCR urged Ukraine to ensure effective enforcement of economic, social and cultural rights<br />
and freedoms by introducing the right to file complaints with the Constitutional Court. CAT<br />
recommended that Ukraine reform the office of the General Prosecutor in order to strengthen<br />
its independence and separate the function of investigations in allegations of torture. CRC<br />
recommended that Ukraine create a separate juvenile justice system and that pre-trial<br />
detention of minors be used only as a measure of last resort.<br />

healthcare system (in particular in rural areas). CESCR commented on the large number of<br />
persons living with HIV/AIDS or suffering from tuberculosis. CEDAW urged Ukraine to<br />
improve the standard of sexual education and to discourage abortion as a contraceptive<br />
method. CRC also noted that the Chernobyl disaster continued to exert a long-lasting impact<br />
