The ECHR made a decision that prolongs the dispute with the Russian Federation over Donbass
The court decided to attach two other interstate cases to the Donbass case: about the shot down MH17 and about children from state institutions who were illegally taken to Russia at the beginning of the war.
The Grand Chamber of the ECHR added two other interstate cases to the “Donbass case” Ukraine v. Russia; This will delay consideration of the case, but may have positive consequences for Ukraine. This was announced by the deputy head of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, Ivan Lishchina, on Monday, November 30.
The ECHR decided to join the case concerning children from state institutions who were illegally taken to Russia at the beginning of the war, as well as the case of the Netherlands against Russia in the demolished MH17. Now the case is called Ukraine and Holland against Russia us. 43800/14, 8019/16 and 28525/20. For Ukraine, this solution has its pros and cons.
“The good news is that the Dutch case contains more material about the criminal case MH17, which was not given to us at that time, referring to the secrecy of the investigation. Now these materials will also be in our case. Secondly, the incorporation of the second applicant to the case strengthens it “context: violation of human rights by the Russian Federation during the invasion of sovereign territory of Ukraine,” explained Lishchina.
At the same time, the decision of the Grand Chamber may delay the examination of the case, since today Russia has not yet communicated the Dutch statement. The ECHR as a whole is slowly considering similar cases, so such a delay “can hardly be considered a serious risk,” the deputy minister added.
“In any case, we will ask the ECHR to speed up the consideration of the Dutch case so that the consolidation of the statements that Ukraine supports does not lead to a delay in the consideration of their complaints,” said Lishchina.
Please note that the case of Ukraine v Russia regarding Crimea is not included here. Hearings have already been held on the matter and a court decision is now awaited.
We will recall that Ukraine previously at the UN did not support the resolution of the Russian Federation on Nazism. The resolution on the fight against the glorification of Nazism is silent on the slavery of individual European peoples and justifies the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
Peskov was also reported to have announced “Russophobic antibodies” in Ukraine. The results of local elections in Ukraine have shown that the “antibodies” are no longer so strong, said the Kremlin president.
