Russia has signed a decree to withdraw from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, ending its commitment to the treaty against torture and inhuman treatment it joined as a Council of Europe member. publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/000...
thanks for no longer pretending to be a civilized country 🙂
Nazis have historically created mountains of legal paperwork, which they always think will keep them out of the hangman's noose.
Well...atleast they are honest. That doesn't happen every day.
I am sure this is because they want peace. No??
So they're finally making official what they have been doing for years.
As if it still mattered.
Scare tactics. They have forgotten that the free world can also play by those rules or without
Russia : a real nazi state now.
This isn’t going to make much difference to Ukrainians or other foreign nationals being abused by Russia. It will make a difference to Russian citizens who now will have no hope of the Chekists being restrained.
Oh boy
The one honest thing I've seen out of Russia over the past decade.
well their signature was worthless anyways...
Just let's keep bombing their refineries and not waste time with what those russian scumbags sign or not.
As if they ever followed it. Orcs love torture and murder.
It did not adhere to it anyway. Russia sign something? Russia lying....
Never having adhered to the treaty, withdrawing officially is just a scare towards those considering involvement. As in european peace keeping forces. Clever. Only cost is russia itself internationally presenting their country as a barbaric waste of oxygen.
This (and more) is how they were sticking to the convention before: united24media.com/latest-news/...
This is horrifying
Russian culture, everyone.
What changes? Just another treaty Moscow signed and trashed. Remember: the only pact russia ever kept was Molotov–Ribbentrop. They stuck with the Nazis to the very end.
Russia apparently mistakenly thought they had signed up to the Convention on Procreation of Torture?
This is a "de jure" withdrawal. De facto? Russia never joined or respected the Convention.
