Seven records, six of them statutes read from the legislation portal’s print route, and one institution speaking for itself.

Every statute here was read from the Verkhovna Rada legislation portal’s print route. The ordinary route renders client-side and returns a page saying the text is being formatted; the print route serves the full consolidated text. This is the third national legislation portal on this platform found to have a static route behind a rendered front, after the Swiss federal filestore and the Japanese law-data endpoint.
Ukrainian is the authoritative language of every statute cited. Each provision is quoted in Ukrainian, and the English beside it is this platform’s own gloss — no English wording is attributed to the legislator.

Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2016-06-02 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the constitution of the Ukrainian court system, and nothing about prosecution or policing. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the portal’s print route — the ordinary route renders client-side and serves a notice that the text is being formatted. Supports Art. 1(1), that judicial power in Ukraine «здійснюється незалежними та безсторонніми судами, утвореними законом». Supports Art. 2(1), that a court administering justice on the basis of the rule of law «забезпечує кожному право на справедливий суд». Supports Art. 17(3), that «Систему судоустрою складають: 1) місцеві суди; 2) апеляційні суди; 3) Верховний Суд», with higher specialised courts operating within that framework for defined categories. THREE LEVELS is the fact worth holding: local courts, appellate courts and one Supreme Court, rather than the separate supreme jurisdictions several systems on this platform have. Ukrainian is authoritative; no English wording is attributed to the legislator. This record establishes nothing about judicial appointment, discipline or governance, which are in other provisions not read here.
Верховний Суд (Україна) · Government publication · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the Supreme Court’s own account of its place, and nothing more. The court’s own site, read directly. Supports that «Верховний Суд – це найвищий суд у системі судоустрою України». NO EVIDENCE SCOPE, and the reason is recorded rather than left as an omission: an anchor on that sentence came back missing from an observation of the same URL, because the page is client-rendered and the served markup does not carry the text a reader sees. The host is registered as client-rendered, so this source is watched for availability rather than for content — a content diff here would be a fact about the shell. Cited alongside the Law on the Judiciary rather than instead of it: the statute constitutes the system and the court states its own position within it, and this platform keeps those two kinds of claim on separate records. It establishes nothing about the court’s composition, its chambers, or its caseload.
Закон України «Про Національну поліцію» (№ 580-VIII), статті 1 і 2 — статус поліції та завдання
Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2015-07-02 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the National Police as its own Act constitutes it. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the print route. Supports Art. 1(1), that the National Police «це центральний орган виконавчої влади, який служить суспільству шляхом забезпечення охорони прав і свобод люди[ни]» — a central executive body, which places it inside the executive rather than as an independent agency. Supports Art. 2, that its tasks are «надання поліцейських послуг у сферах: 1) забезпечення публічної безпеки і порядку; 2) охорони прав і свобод людини…». The statute frames the whole function as the PROVISION OF POLICING SERVICES rather than as the exercise of authority, which is a drafting choice worth noticing and not one this platform will characterise further. This record establishes nothing about the ministry above the police, about other law-enforcement bodies, or about how a complaint against an officer is handled.
Закон України «Про прокуратуру» (№ 1697-VII), статті 1 і 2 — єдина система та функції прокуратури
Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2014-10-14 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the prosecution service as its own Act constitutes it. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the print route. Supports Art. 1, that «Прокуратура України становить єдину систему, яка … здійснює встановлені Конституцією України функції з метою захисту прав і свобод людини, загальних інтересів суспільства та держави». Supports Art. 2, that its functions are «підтримання державного обвинувачення в суді»; «представництво інтересів громадянина або держави в суді у випадках, визначених цим Законом»; «нагляд за додержанням законів органами, що провадять оперативно-розшукову діяльність, дізнання, досудове слідство»; and «нагляд за додержанням законів при виконанні судових рішень у кримінальних справах». The third and fourth functions are the ones an English-speaking reader is least likely to expect: supervision over the bodies conducting investigation, and supervision over the execution of sentences. A service defined by those is not the same institution as one that only brings charges. This record establishes nothing about the appointment or removal of prosecutors.
Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2012-04-13 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the prosecutor’s position in criminal procedure, and only what Art. 36(1) states. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the print route. Supports that the prosecutor, exercising powers under the Code, «є самостійним у своїй процесуальній діяльності» — procedurally independent. LIMITATION, stated because it decides what the investigations page may say: the fetch of this Code is truncated before Art. 38, which lists the bodies that conduct pre-trial investigation, so that list is NOT established from this record and no page claims it from here. The bodies named on the Ukrainian pages are named from their own constituting statutes instead.
Закон України «Про Державне бюро розслідувань» (№ 794-VIII), статті 1 і 5 — статус і підслідність
Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2015-11-12 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: the State Bureau of Investigation only. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the print route. Supports Art. 1(1), that the Bureau «є державним правоохоронним органом, на який покладаються завдання щодо запобігання, виявлення, припинення, розкриття та розслідування кримінальних правопорушень, віднесених до його компетенції». Supports Art. 5(1), that its jurisdiction covers offences committed by officials, «суддями та працівниками правоохоронних органів», by staff of the anti-corruption bureau and the specialised anti-corruption prosecution, and military offences, with stated exceptions. The design fact worth carrying: this is a body constituted to investigate judges and law-enforcement officers, which is a different arrangement from leaving those cases with the ordinary police. It establishes nothing about the other bodies that conduct pre-trial investigation.
Верховна Рада України — Законодавство України · Legislation · 2003-07-11 · link verified 2026-09-18
SCOPE: who executes criminal sentences in Ukraine, and what the legislation is for. The official consolidated Ukrainian text, read directly from the print route. Supports Art. 1, that the criminal-executive legislation «регламентує порядок і умови виконання та відбування кримінальних покарань з метою захисту інтересів особи, суспільства і держави». Supports Art. 11, that the bodies executing sentences are «центральний орган виконавчої влади, що реалізує державну політику у сфері виконання кримінальних покарань та пробації, його територіальні органи, уповноважені органи з питань пробації» — a central executive body, its territorial organs, and authorised probation bodies. Custody and probation sit under one policy authority here, which is not the arrangement everywhere. NO STATISTICAL CLAIM is supported: prison population, capacity, staffing and conditions are restricted categories on this platform and this record establishes none of them.
