This article establishes that conciliation of parties in Ukraine’s administrative justice system serves as an effective tool for alternative dispute resolution, contributing to the reduction of judicial system workload, optimization of state resources, and prompt restoration of citizens’ violated rights. Conciliation is grounded in principles of voluntariness, mutual concessions, and compliance with public interests, enabling parties to reach a compromise without a full judicial trial. An analysis of Ukrainian judicial practice demonstrates a growing application of conciliation in administrative disputes, particularly in cases involving challenges to decisions of public authorities, land relations, dismissal from public service, and compensation for damages. It is determined that the rational use of this institution, taking into account the specific circumstances of a case such as the nature of the dispute, the status of the parties, and the involvement of third parties enhances the efficiency of administrative justice and prevents conflict escalation. However, achieving optimal outcomes requires a comprehensive approach, including legal education of parties, mediation, and robust judicial oversight of conciliation terms. The application of formal criteria without considering the substance of the dispute may lead to process inefficiencies. The inclusion of conciliation in the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine obliges the state to develop mechanisms for its implementation, including training for judges, lawyers, and representatives of public authorities, as well as alignment with European standards for alternative dispute resolution. Only through such measures can the swift and fair protection of rights in administrative relations be ensured.
