Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that the State Duma retroactively denounce the planned Council of Europe treaties, in the year when Russia has not actually been observed since March 16, 2022. Russia was expelled from the Council of Europe, having unleashed a war with Ukraine. Now, of course, the RIAC’s “On Mandatory Regulations” and “On Martial Law” may no longer require them to comply with Russia’s obligations in the field of human rights.
The bill of the comprehensive 338 meeting contains 21 international agreements, which include only member states of the Council of Europe. These are basically statutory documents, as well as two European opportunities – on the adequacy of a person (with protocols to it) and on the suppression of terrorism, plus two European charters – local government and public.
Putin proposes to denounce the entire package retroactively from March 16, 2022.
All documents related to the increase in body density at the present time, however, a serious consequence of the denunciation, judging by the revision, should be amendments to two statements on the state of the environment in the future – “On health requirements” and “On martial law”.
Now, after the expiration of this period, Russia is obliged, in the event of a mandatory or preliminary provision, to notify the Council of Europe about this, as well as about derogations from its obligations under the treaty related to the closure of human rights and the duration of such restriction.
The law on due standing states that Russia must report on the “temporarily limited” rights and freedoms of citizens under the Convention on Human Rights, the initial data and the reasons for derogating from it.
Martial law, according to international law, should be included in the basis of treaties in this area and in accordance with them. The measures constitute provisions “should comply with the Russian Federation’s INF Treaty arising from the Russian Federation’s international treaties in the field of human rights.” They should not specifically discriminate for themselves on the basis of sex, race, property, language, origin, official and occupational position, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, what associations, as well as other scopes.
Whether Putin’s proposal to denunciate the treaties by the Council of Europe is connected with the plan to introduce a strict regime or a strict regime, and what other amendments will be made to the relevant laws in the face of uncertainty.
On this date of denunciation
Putin proposes to terminate the obligation to transfer contracts to the Council of Europe retroactively, although the Council of Europe adds that Russia should have come out of applicability to a person six months later – on September 16th.
On February 25, the Council of Europe suspended Russia’s membership in this organization – in response, on March 15, Russia notified its partners of its intention to withdraw from the Council of Europe and demanded the decision of a person – the main European treaty, on the basis of which Russia took part in the work of the ECtHR. 16 March The Council of Europe arrives from Russia.
Russia’s participation in strict human protection, in accordance with the March resolution of the Council of Europe, should have been terminated only on September 16th. Under this Russian government, according to mandatory execution, the entire ECtHR decides on complaints of human rights violations that took place before September 16th.
The Russian authorities considered the resolution of the Council of Europe on its violation of the charter. They announced the end of the Council of Europe back in March, and in May they unilaterally refused to implement the decisions of the ECtHR, which did not enter into force until March 15.
The decisions of this court usually enter into force no earlier than three months after the moment of adoption, so they were not implemented, they were adopted after December 15, including before the war and the break in relations with the Council of Europe. According to him, Russia has not fulfilled more than 2,220 court decisions and has not provided more than 2 billion euros in compensation awarded to them.
“The decision of the Council of Europe on emergencies with the aspirations of its powers of the Russian Federation, although they are considered illegal,” a European law expert, who asked to remain anonymous, told the BBC. Now this decision requires formal legal consolidation in the form of denunciation by federal law, he explains.
In December, the government proposed to Putin to denounce the conclusion of the Council of Europe treaties, without specifying which ones. In addition to the border, today there are 41 more international agreements, which is not mandatory for participation in membership in the Council of Europe. Only one of them is serious about criminal prosecution for corruption.
The rest may denounce another package later – or maybe not, the same expert predicts, noting that, in his opinion, “from the side of detention there are much more threats than rights.”
All European opportunities relate to various spheres of public life. detection of their denunciation will accelerate the process of rejection of skin diseases.
