Draft resolution #11141 of April 1, 2024 

Status: sent for review to the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Parliamentary Ethics, and Administration of the Work of the Verkhovna Rada 

Cosponsors: a group of 18 MPs from the factions European Solidarity, Holos, and Servant of the People with Iryna Herashchenko as the first signatory 

Who is affected: residents of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada, parliamentary factions and groups, and MPs 

Summary: 

  • the article provisioning that the whole period of a regular session of the Verkhovna Rada is treated as one continuous plenary session will be discarded 
  • the Parliament will work in the multiple plenary sessions mode during martial law 
  • the regular rules of the procedure will be reinstated: the grounds and procedure for the convening of the Conciliation Council, as well as the procedure for amending the parliamentary agenda 

What is right: the return to the regular rules of procedure of the Verkhovna Rada, rollback to the plenary session mode, and amendments to the parliamentary agenda will allow the Verkhovna Rada to work more openly, systematically, and will incentivize parliamentary factions and groups to be more productive.
