В ПАСЕ стартираха две инициативи за суспендиране на пълномощията на делегацията на Руската Федерация в Асамблеята






ПАСЕ ГОТВИ САНКЦИИ 
СРЕЩУ ДЕЛЕГАЦИЯТА НА  РУСКАТА  ДУМА В АСАМБЛЕЯТА

Два проекта за резолюции на ПАСЕ са инициирани от депутати в 
Асамблеята и предстои да бъдат внесени още тази седмица
Роберт Уолтър
Първият проект е изготвен от британските консерватори начело с бившия лидер на Групата на Европейските демократи Роберт Уолтър, а вторият - 
Михаел Йенсен
от Михаел Йенсен от Дания, от  групата на либералите в ПАСЕ.

И двата проекта предвиждат санкции срещу делегацията на Руската Федерация в Асамблеята заради инвазията на Русия в Украйна и анексирането на Крим.   
ПАСЕ и ПА на ОССЕ са единствените европейски институции в които Русия до сега участваше като пълноправен член.
В проекта иницииран от консерваторите, който много вероятно е да бъде подкрепен и от групата на ЕНП в ПАСЕ, се предлага отнемане на ратифицираните от Асамблеята пълномощия на руската делегация.
В проекта иницииран от либералите се предвижда отнемане на правото на глас на руските депутати в ПАСЕ. 
Проектите ще се гласуват по време на априлската сесия на ПАСЕ в Страсбург. 
Ако санкциите бъдат приети от Асамблеята, Русия повече няма да може да  влияе на вземането на решения в Обединена Европа.
Текстовете на двата проекта, в момента  все още са отворени за подписване от членовете на ПАСЕ:

Motion for resolution

The Parliamentary Assembly condemns without reservation the violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation in early March 2014 and expresses its gravest concern that members of the upper House of the Russian Parliament unanimously authorised such action in advance.
The Assembly believes that there has been a serious violation of the basic principles of the Council of Europe mentioned in Article 3 of, and the preamble to, the Statute.
The Assembly must therefore reconsider at the earliest opportunity, on the basis of Rule 9.1.a of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, the ratified credentials of the Russian delegation on substantive grounds.


 
Suspension of the voting rights of the Russian delegation (Rule 9 of the Rules of 


Procedure of the 

Assembly)



Motion for a resolution

Presented by Mr Michael Aastrup Jensen, ALDE, Denmark



The undersigned members of the Parliamentary Assembly, holding firmly to the founding 


ideals and principles of the Council of Europe as well as to the binding procedures set up 


by the Assembly to achieve a greater unity between its member states for the purpose of 


safeguarding and realising these ideals and principles, are seriously concerned about the 



persistent failure by the Russian Federation to honour its obligations and commitments.



The conflict in Ukraine fully demonstrates the relevance of ever more extensive European 


construction, it is for the Council of Europe, a key player in that construction, to adopt a 


stance in line with its principles and values.




The actions of Russian military forces in the Crimea peninsula, as well as explicit threats 


of military actions in the rest of Ukraine’s territory, are in direct violation of international 


law, including the UN Charter, the OSCE Helsinki Final Act, the Statute of the Council of 



Europe, as well as Russia’s accession commitments. 

 
Furthermore, the use of armed forces on the territory of Ukraine was authorized by the 


Federation Council of Russia on 1 March 2014. 

 

Aware of the potential consequences of such situation for the stability and peace in 


Europe, we call for a firmer response against a policy based on show of force and 


provocation. 

 
The risk of uncontrolled chain reactions and fears of the existence of a broader-reaching 


strategy than the one operated in Ukraine and especially in Crimea are a grave threat to 



international security. 

 

In 2000 the voting rights of the Russian delegation was suspended due to the Russian 


military activities in Chechnya. 


This time Russian military has violated the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and this must 


have immediate consequences. 



Both actions which cannot be accepted and they are in direct contradiction with the ideas 


and values of the Council of Europe. 

 
In the light of the above, the undersigned demand the Assembly to – on the basis of 



Rule 9.1.a. of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly - suspend the voting rights of the 


Russian delegation.
