METHODOLOGY MONITORING After studying and processing in detail the data from the questionnaires, the analytical team prepared this report. Most monitoring indicators are provided in percentage terms, which allows to compare different data. The observation of the principles of publicity, impartiality and equality, and the culture of conducting proceedings by the courts were evaluated against a 10-point scale (five points with a positive value, used in cases when the courts followed the respective standard in more than half of the monitored trials, and five points with a negative value, used when this standard was observed less than in half of the trials). This score is an aggregate value by detailed criteria, which were in the questionnaire and cumulatively applied to a specific standard (publicity, impartiality and equality, culture of conducting proceedings). -5 0 5 Less than half of the cases More than half of the cases This scale matches the percentage rates. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 For example, the score 3.7 for publicity corresponds to 87%, which is the aggregate value of compliance with each criterion of publicity that the monitors used in their observations. 8 MONITORING OF ADHERENCE TO FAIR TRIAL STANDARDS IN UKRAINE
