6. Two laws were adopted on Sept. 12, 1991, for the purpose of clarifying the status of proindependence laws. Under the Ukrainian Law on the Provisional Validity of Certain Acts of USSR Legislation in Ukrainian Territory, USSR laws that do not contradict the Ukrainian constitution or laws continue to apply in Ukraine on issues not yet regulated or superseded by Ukrainian legislation. The Law on Legal Succession of the Ukraine provides that Ukrainian international treaties concluded by the Ukrainian SSR as well as Ukrainian laws adopted prior to the date on which independence was declared (Aug. 24, 1991) continue to apply insofar as they do not contradict new Ukrainian legislation adopted after that date. The same applies to USSR international treaties, to which Ukraine is the legal successor unless such treaties contradict the Ukrainian constitution or are otherwise contrary to the interests of Ukraine.
