The Constitutional Court of Ukraine () is the sole body of constitutional jurisdiction in Ukraine. The Constitutional Court of Ukraine interprets the Constitution of Ukraine and decides whether laws and other legal acts are constitutional. The Court initiated its activity on October 18, 1996. The first Court ruling was made on May 13, 1997. On urgent matters the Constitutional Court rules within weeks but on matters deemed less urgent it can take months or even longer.〔(Yanukovych to call vote if coalition ruled illegal ), Kyiv Post (March 1, 2010)〕 There have been political accusations of attempts to bribe and blackmail Constitutional Court judges in order to get a favourable ruling.〔(Tymoshenko: Yanukovych entourage aims at recognizing legitimacy of coalition before president's trip to U.S. ), Kyiv Post (March 29, 2010)〕〔(How Ukraine Became a Market Economy and Democracy ) by Anders Åslund, Peterson Institute for International Economics, 2009, ISBN 978-0-88132-427-3 (page 219)〕〔(Yanukovych allies: Tymoshenko trying to pressure court ), Kyiv Post (March 30, 2010)〕〔(Yulia Tymoshenko: pressure from the authorities won’t force me to change my position ), Official website of Yulia Tymoshenko (April 7, 2010)〕 == Mission and authority == The authority of the Constitutional Court is derived from Ukraine's Constitution - Chapter XII The Court: * on the appeal of the President, no less than 45 members of the parliament, the Supreme Court of Ukraine, the Ombudsman, or the Crimean parliament, assesses the constitutionality of: * * laws and other legal acts of the parliament * * acts of the President * * acts of the Cabinet * * legal acts of the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Crimean parliament) * officially interprets the Constitution and laws of Ukraine * on the appeal of the President or the Cabinet, provides opinions on the conformity with the Constitution of international treaties * on the appeal of the parliament, provides an opinion on the observance of the procedure of impeachment of the President * provides an opinion on the compliance of a bill on introducing amendments to the Constitution with the restrictions imposed by the Constitution.
