"That's the right decision.
These tools should definitely be used.
One can argue about whether they should have been used earlier or not, but the very fact of such an appeal is very true.
In Russia in general now there are many discussions at the expert level, at the level of parliamentary groups of various kinds regarding the expediency or inexpediency of Russia's stay in various kinds of European organizations and structures, ”the deputy said.
He added that the current situation will force the ECHR and representatives of the European authorities "to express their opinion on what is happening."
“In addition to specific proceedings on important episodes that happened on the territory of Ukraine, besides the need to defend human rights on the territory of this country and draw attention to these things, what happened will mean that the court itself and many political forces in Europe will have to speak out on this topic.
And the position of all will be highlighted and clear ... And this will give further grounds to evaluate the activities of these organizations in Russia.
And also to consider the expediency of Russia's presence in them, ”he concluded.
Earlier it became known that Russia applied to the European Court of Human Rights with an interstate complaint against Ukraine on the basis of Article 33 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
This is the first inter-state complaint in Russian history filed by the Russian authorities with the European Court of Justice. This is stated in the message of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia.
