Contemporary issues of enforcement process in Ukraine: domestic and international aspects

Abstract

This article is devoted to the particularities of enforcement process theory and the analysis of international acts and national legislation that govern coercive enforcement of decisions of courts and other bodies (official persons) with a foreign element. The place of international enforcement procedure within the legal system is analysed together with its interconnection with the other branches of law, in particular with private international law, international civil procedure and enforcement procedure. It is suggested that international enforcement procedure should be recognised as a sub-branch of enforcement procedure. The sources of international enforcement procedure were characterised as well, in particular: Global enforcement code, bilateral and multilateral international agreements, European Court of Human Rights case law, Ukrainian court case law, etc.
