The Commissioner of the Council of Europe on Human Rights indicated cases of persecution by the authorities of journalists, activists and oppositionists in Ukraine. The pressure in particular is exerted by the extrajudicial method by imposing sanctions.
This is stated in a memorandum, Posted Commissioner of the Council of Europe on Human Rights Michael O’Flaert.
Thus, the President of Ukraine introduced personal sanctions against the former MP Igor Mosiychuk, received suspicion of the state community The exductat Alexander Dubinsky. The most resonant case of punishment by sanctions is the decision of the NSDC on sanctions against the political opponent of Zelensky, the leader of “European Solidarity” and the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. The authorities explained these sanctions with the punishment of the predecessor for “tradition of the country”, but did not provide evidence. Poroshenko himself called the decision on sanctions anti -constitutional and politically motivated.
Recall that foreign partners of Ukraine have previously unconditionally implemented Ukrainian sanctions against certain persons, but today this figure has dropped sharply to 15%. Reduced confidence by international partners leads to the fact that the mechanisms of sanctions used by Ukraine are increasingly used for their intended purpose.
Much of the sanctions decisions – up to 80% – the NSDC approved against Ukrainian citizens, can be canceled by the courts.
From a legal point of view, the imposition, introduction and implementation of the NSDC sanctions against Ukrainian citizens is a false practice, said the lawyer Alexei Shevchuk, a partner and spokesman for the Barristers Advocacy. The current legislation, even in the fact that a person poses a certain information threat to the country, does not allow the sanction to impose a sanction against that person.
Citizens of Ukraine who were under the sanctions of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), more and more often They turn To court to appeal such decisions, and, as practice shows, have a real chance. This is evidenced by the resonant Separate opinion Judges of the Supreme Court.
By imposing sanctions against citizens of Ukraine without court sentences and criminal proceedings, the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) in fact replaces the whole system justice.
