The forum took place on 1–2 May 2026 in Lviv, Ukraine.

This two-day event was co-organised by the OSCE Support to Ukraine Programme within the framework of the project "Guaranteeing Respect for Human Rights in the Administration of Justice, Phase II" and the Council of Europe Project "Support to Ukraine in the Implementation of Council of Europe Standards on the Judiciary."
