The Global Sustainable Development Goal 16 of the United Nations’ “2030 Agenda” calls all the countries of the world to ‘promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels’[1]. At the same time, Russian Federation has not come up with a uniform understanding of the ‘sustainable development’ and ‘rule of laws’ terms which means a great need for an analysis of this concept for the sake of eventual establishing effective access to court and rise of legal guarantees in the national judiciary rules.

This task necessitates the use of analogy, deduction and synthesis, also historic, systemic and logical interpretation, as well as dialectic and technical legal methods.

Application of these methods has allowed us to conclude that the national contemporary legal science in Russia disagrees with the globally accepted meaning of the ‘sustainable development of justice’ term which precludes forming of a National Judicial Development Action Plan which may contain reasonable steps that give rise to legal guarantees in court proceedings, provide accountability of justice institutions and ensure truly unhindered access to court and bailiff service. Combined with the lack of globally approved perception of the ‘rule of law’, the accurate implementation of both concepts seems almost unfeasible.

The solution might be found in the launch of special training programs and professional courses for government employees whose day-to-day routine must comply with universal standards of fair trial and good governance.
