Judges in Ukraine's Supreme Court will come under lustration checks in compliance with the law on lustration, the court's press service told Interfax-Ukraine.

Supreme Court Chairman Yaroslav Romaniuk has issued a directive obliging judges to hand in filled questionnaires between December 1 and 10, which will be further referred for checks to the justice and interior ministries, the State Financial Service and the Security Service.

The judges' statements and income and property declarations, and the results of the lustration checks will be posted on the Supreme Court's official website.

Only newly employed judges will be checked now. The staff employed earlier will be questioned in the summer of 2015.

The Ukrainian Supreme Court on November 20 filed an inquiry with the Constitutional Court on whether individual provisions of the Law on the Purges of the Government complied with the constitution. The inquiry will be processed by the Constitutional Court's secretariat before a relevant case is opened.
