The negotiation process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) process was extremely ambitious. It sought to remedy all the shortcomings of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) by ensuring transparency, ownership of the countries of the Global South, strong involvement of civil society groups and stakeholders, and creating a truly transformative set of sustainable development goals. Yet, it did not manage to avoid all the mistakes that were characteristic of the formulation of the MDGS. In addition, it struggled with its very own problems. The article traces the developments and debates that led to the formulation of Goal 16 on the rule of law. It shows that the success of this ambitious goal largely depends on the refinement of the indicator framework and the review mechanism.

The world as a whole has developed in the global dimension and has flourished with prosperity. But still one can see the hurdles in the development process. One of such impediments is poverty and the other is the environmental problems. Poverty results in violation of human rights. The rule of law is crucial and is one of the means to strengthen these hurdles. One of such escalation is on the environmental development wherein it strives for achieving sustainable development and eradication of poverty. The rule of law plays a vital role in reducing extreme poverty with emphasizing on human rights. It is the very essence and the core of Good Governance. Without the principles of the rule of law, it will not be enough to achieve sustainable development and eradication of poverty. The rule of law strengthens to provide intense legal framework.

The sixteenth sustainability goal is about equality in access to justice. However, according to some events in Eastern Europe, access is insufficient. The court must be genuinely independent and impartial. In this regard, we decided to find arguments in favour of expanding the sixteenth sustainability goal. A review of the sources and a theoretical study indicated a clear link between judicial independence and sustainable development. We used the method of doctrinal research. ECtHR cases have become our data for qualitative analysis. We have reaffirmed that judicial independence is the condition of the rule of law. It means conduction of proceedings without any pressure or interference on a judge, particularly from other branches of government. We argue that the entire independence of the judiciary appears on the background of the subjective and objective independence of the judge. In addition, this study demonstrates that judicial independence is a condition for sustainable development. It is associated with public trust and public confidence in the reality of such independence. In the example of equality of parties, we pointed out that there is no need to detail the sixteenth goal further. With our study, we wish to breathe new energy into the sixteenth goal of sustainable development

It has been found that the methodological principles of building a legal model of sustainable development of Ukraine remain imperfect. In this regard, it is argued that the basis of the legal model, first of all, shall be assigned general and sectoral legal principles that will create the theoretical base of normative activity. In particular, it has to be that the Rule of Law principle has a particularly specific content and acquires signs of a particular legal instrument in the process of law-making and law enforcement. Accordingly, the use of the Rule of Law principle in the process of assessing the efficiency of legal norms is proposed, which will talk about promoting the legal act of the ideology of justice. It is necessary to unacceptable laying into the legal model of sustainable development of the false concept of legal regulation of economic relations, which provides for the exclusion from the legal system of the state of certain branches of legislation, in particular economic legislation. It is substantiated that the Economic Code of Ukraine is the basis for achieving the goals of sustainable development on the economic component and synergistic associated with other acts of Ukrainian legislation in the environmental and social spheres. In this regard, it is argued that the effectiveness of the legal model of sustainable development will be significantly higher, subject to preservation in the legal system of the Economic Code of Ukraine, which will additionally testify to compliance with the Rule of Law principle. It is emphasized that in the light of the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation, including economic, to the EU Law and the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, the influence of international legal norms on the state and directions of development of individual institutions of Economic law, which contributes to the universalization of the legal model of the steady the state's development.

Abstract This article examines the conceptual and historical relationship between constitutionalism and development. It argues that the communities that represent these two ideas have had little engagement, and yet there is a good deal of overlap between their areas of concern. Given that the Sustainable Development Goals 2015 have strongly embraced good governance, accountability and the rule of law, and we have become adept at defining and articulating the rule of law, the time seems ripe for development to engage with constitutionalism, and for constitutionalism to use “developmental operativity”, as I call it, to advance its objectives in practice.

The rule of law and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are mutually supportive. Respect for the rule of law is indeed crucial for development issues. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development itself acknowledges, through SDG 16, that access to justice and the rule of law foster sustainable development. The latter ensures that all individuals are treated alike, that they are entitled to the respect of human rights and that the rule of law informs the satisfaction of social, economic, and cultural needs as well as the development of public policies and the governance of competent institutions.
