These are, among others, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Convention on Combating Terrorism and the European Social Charter.
Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to announce the termination of various agreements with the Council of Europe that had been incorporated into Russian law.
These are, among others, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Convention on Combating Terrorism and the European Social Charter.
This is provided for in a law submitted by Mr. Putin’s government to the Russian parliament on Tuesday. Its approval is considered a formal procedure.
Last week it emerged that Mr Putin’s government had tabled in the State Duma (the lower house of the Russian Federation) a bill repudiating the Council of Europe’s Civil or Criminal Corruption Conventions and intended to withdraw the country from the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), which oversees their implementation.
The European Convention on Human Rights formally ceased to apply to Russia in September. Moscow withdrew from the Council of Europe when the Strasbourg institution announced that Russia was to be expelled due to the war in Ukraine.
However, several cases are pending at the European Court of Human Rights, which began before Russia left the Council of Europe. Under the Convention, the Russian state is obliged to implement any decisions of the ECtHR on pending cases.
Moscow has already made it clear that it will not comply.
