It invites the Committee of Ministers to continue to follow
closely the implementation of the judgment of the European Court
of Human Rights in the Gongadze case and to ensure, in co-operation
with the Ukrainian authorities, that all necessary investigative
measures are speedily carried out, including:
2.1 the vigorous pursuit of the
authentification of the “Melnychenko recordings”, with the participation of
foreign experts;
2.2 the pursuit of other available methods of establishing
the authenticity of these recordings, such as the interrogation
as witnesses of persons whose voices were allegedly recorded, and
comparisons between discussions allegedly recorded and actual events;
2.3 the opening of a criminal investigation into the responsibility
for the failure to protect Georgiy Gongadze and a proper investigation
into his disappearance, as established by the European Court of Human
Rights;
2.4 an investigation into the circumstances in which General
Pukach was released from custody in 2003, and was later reportedly
able to escape arrest in Israel, and to open criminal cases against
those responsible, as appropriate;
2.5 the re-examination of the circumstances of the death of
the late Minister of the Interior, Yuriy Kravchenko, and an investigation
also into a possible crime of inciting a person to commit suicide;
2.6 the interrogation as witnesses of other senior staff members
or former staff members of the Ministry of the Interior who may
have information on the special unit headed by General Pukach;
2.7 an investigation into the exact circumstances in which
two former senior officials allegedly linked to the Gongadze case
suffered strokes within a short period of time, resulting in the
death of Mr Dagaev and Mr Fere’s falling into a coma.
