Talk:First Yatsenyuk government

Not yet appointed

Discussion is still in progress for the definition of the Government, only the prime minister has been asked to form a government of national unity. Example : Olga Bogomolets was in the list presented at the Independence Square, but she refused it. Official appointment has to be done today but it's still unclear if it will happen (the consensus has not been reached between MP). Loreleil (talk) 10:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Lemma

Maybe rename to Yatsenyuk Government? NickSt (talk) 15:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that was the right decision. It is not a national unity government, since most major parties are not involved. It is seldomly called “national unity government” (in euronews) and certainly not “the national unity government” in the media, since it is inappropriate, thus I will remove that description. --Chricho ∀ (talk) 17:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Government lacks legitimacy

There is no part about the legitimacy of the government.

"Ascertaining the legitimacy of the interim government in Kiev is quite tricky. According to Article 111 of the Ukrainian constitution, the President can only be impeached from office by parliament through “no less than three-quarters of its constitutional composition.” On February 22, 2014 the Ukrainian parliament voted 328-0 to impeach President Yanukovych who fled to Russia the night prior. However for an effective impeachment under constitutional rules the 449-seated parliament would have needed 337 votes to remove Yanukovych from office. Thus under the current constitution, Yanukovych is still the incumbent and legitimate President of the Ukraine.

This constitutional oversight puts the interim government in legal limbo as the bills that are currently being signed into law by acting President Turchynov are not carrying any constitutional authorization. This problem of legitimacy also undermines Kiev’s dealings with foreign governments, as the government appointed by Turchynov does not represent the de jure official government of the Ukraine. As such, foreign governments who are willfully recognizing and thereby trying to confer international legitimacy upon the interim government in Kiev, are indeed breaking international law by violating (1) the sovereignty of the Ukraine and the law of the land (constitution), (2) the principle of non-interference, (3) and the practice of non-government recognition."

A blog is not a reliable source. --Львівське (говорити) 00:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

If you want we can check the source if it's reliable or not WP:RS and this conclusion is already a part of other articles.

Further Lawfare is Published by The Lawfare Institute in Cooperation With http://www.brookings.edu/ and is for sure not less reliable as a newspaper, following it represents the research of Ashley Deeks, almost every other source is less reliable about this topic:
