Informational reference on the Draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention and Counteraction to Antisemitism in Ukraine" regarding the appointment of a special coordinator for the prevention and counteraction to antisemitism (No. 14228, dated 17.11.2025)
Published on 25 December 2025, 14:00Abstract. The informational reference contains an analysis of the draft Law of Ukraine (No. 14228, dated 17.11.2025), which provides for amendments to the current legislation regarding the introduction of a special coordinator for preventing and countering anti-Semitism. The draft law is aimed at implementing the provisions of the EU Strategy on Combating Anti-Semitism and Promoting Jewish Life (2021-2030), which requires the appointment of relevant coordinators.
The violation of the systematicity and coherence of the draft law norms, as well as the lack of functional unity (ensuring the formation and implementation of policy should be the responsibility of one special body), is substantiated. Attention is drawn to the presence of legal gaps due to the absence of a norm on liability for failure to comply with or obstruction of the implementation of legal requirements and mandatory measures taken by the authorized central executive body.
Key words: anti-Semitism, special coordinator, European integration, requirements of European Union legislation.
