Development of judicial bodies of integration associations in the post-Soviet space

Abstract

 The article provides a comparative legal analysis of the conditions for the formation and status of existing and existing judicial bodies of Eurasian  integration associations (the Union State, the CIS, the Customs Union, the EurAsEC, the EAEU), which are an integral element of the institutional structure of these associations. The author identifies and formulates the conditionality of the status of these courts to the specifics of each  integration association, determined by the totality of interests, goals and  objectives pursued by the states that are members of this association. The author also determines the conditionality of the development of courts by the consistency of legal systems and national legal consciousness in the member countries of integration organizations.
The latest in the post-Soviet integration space, the EEU Court has a number  of advantages over the CIS Economic Court, the fate of which should be considered in the context of determining the prospects for the development  of the CIS itself. At the same time, being the “legal successor”  of the EurAsEC Court, the EAEU Court is “weaker” in many elements of its status than its predecessor.
The author points out the fallacy of the simplified explanation of the  restrictions that occurred in the status of the EAEU Court, in particular, the  unjustified judicial activism of its predecessor. In his opinion, the current  status of the EAEU Court was a recognition of the complex political and mental nature of the Economic Union, which requires a more evolutionary  development of communitarian legislation, forms of its interaction with  national legal systems that fully take into account the traditions and legal consciousness in the EAEU member states.
