The draft law supplements Article 18 of the Law "On the Judicial System and Status of Judges" with a provision that "local general courts and courts of appeal shall have specialization of judges in criminal proceedings against minors and specialization of judges in criminal proceedings in cases of military criminal offenses, criminal offenses against peace, human security and international law and order.

The judges authorized to conduct such criminal proceedings are elected from among the judges of the relevant court, or at the suggestion of any judge. They will be elected for a term not exceeding 5 years and may be re-elected.

Judges who will be able to conduct such criminal proceedings shall be selected as judges with experience in criminal proceedings.
