왜 중요한가
A wholesale replacement of the Civil Code could affect freedom of speech, privacy, and the rights of women, children, and LGBTİ+ people, as well as the protection of public, communal, and private property. It could also create uncertainty in judicial practice, lengthen dispute proceedings, and require years for settled precedent to develop around disputed provisions. The dispute is therefore not only about a draft’s wording, but also about how Ukraine modernizes civil law and aligns it with European standards.
무슨 일이 있었나
Representatives of civil society organizations and media called on Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada not to adopt draft Civil Code No. 15150 in second reading or in full, and to stop advancing it in its proposed form. They support modernization but propose narrower amendments to the current Code or separate, mutually coordinated legislative packages. The project was introduced to parliament by its chair, Ruslan Stefanchuk, and received first-reading support on 28 April 2026. A petition to the President opposing adoption collected the required 25,000 signatures in less than a day and more than 29,000 signatures overall.
우크라이나 매체의 시각
Ukrainian coverage focuses on the joint opposition from civil society organizations and media and on the parliamentary procedures needed to amend or modernize civil law. It gives particular attention to the substantial judicial practice built around the current Code and the potential disruption caused by a complete replacement. The discussion also highlights risks involving speech, privacy, equality-related rights, property protection, public ownership, and environmental provisions.
국제 매체의 시각
International organizations are presented as external assessors of the draft. The Council of Europe identified shortcomings that need to be corrected, while the International Press Institute urged the removal of provisions that could endanger investigative journalism and freedom of speech. Academic criticism also focuses on possible inconsistencies between the draft’s environmental provisions and established international, national, and European legal standards.
배경
The existing Civil Code has applied in Ukraine for more than 22 years, during which courts developed a substantial body of practice relied upon by citizens, businesses, lawyers, and the state. Civil society organizations and media support modernization of civil legislation but favor amendments to the existing Code or separate, mutually coordinated legislative packages. The signatories call for an independent legal assessment of the proposed changes and broader participation by judges, lawyers, academics, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders.
