Appendix 2 – Modalities for the implementation of Assembly Resolution 2621 (2025) on Russian democratic forces

Memorandum prepared by the Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly together with the General Rapporteur on the Russian democratic forces
1. The Platform for Dialogue with Russian democratic forces (“the Platform”), set up by Assembly Resolution 2621 (2025), is a “forum for a two-way engagement between the Assembly and Russian democratic forces to address issues of common concern through exchanges in the context of the Platform”.
2. As regards the specific modalities for its implementation, in particular the composition and functioning of the Platform and the participation of Russian democratic forces therein, Resolution 2621 (2025) provides that they shall be approved by the Bureau “based on a memorandum to be prepared by the Secretary General of the Assembly together with the General Rapporteur on the Russian democratic forces”.

Composition of the Platform

1. As regards the composition of the Platform, the General Rapporteur on Russian democratic forces submits the following proposals:
2. The Platform shall be composed of the President of the Assembly, who chairs it, as well as:
  • the chairpersons of the political groups (or their representatives);
  • the Chair of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy;
  • the General Rapporteur on Russian democratic forces;
  • the General Rapporteur on Democracy;
  • the General Rapporteur on combating racism and intolerance;
  • the General Rapporteur on Media Freedom and Safety of Journalists;
  • the General Rapporteur for Political Prisoners;
  • the General Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders and Whistleblowers.
3. It shall also be composed of 15 “Participants from Russian democratic forces”, including 5 representatives of the Indigenous peoples and national minorities of the Russian Federation, in line with paragraph 10 of Resolution 2621 (2025) which provides that, until a platform for dialogue with the representatives of Indigenous peoples and national minorities is established, one third of the seats for the Platform shall be reserved for the representatives of Indigenous peoples and national minorities of the Russian Federation. When a platform for dialogue with the representatives of Indigenous peoples and national minorities of the Russian Federation is established, this quota will be terminated.
4. According to the topics being discussed, the Platform may hold exchanges with other Assembly rapporteurs/General Rapporteurs and officials such as the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Envoy of the Secretary General on the situation of children of Ukraine, and others.
5. Russian democratic forces organisations, members of which meet the criteria set out in paragraph 8 of Resolution 2621 (2025) shall submit, by common decision, a list of potential candidates to the President of the Assembly no later than three weeks before the opening of the Ordinary session or, if not possible, before the opening of a part-session. They can only propose as candidates persons of the highest moral standing who are currently in exile and who meet the requirements listed in paragraph 8 of Resolution 2621 (2025), to be verified by the Bureau of the Assembly at the time of the approval of the list, or at any other time following a decision to that effect by the Bureau.
6. The submission shall:
  • be written in English or French;
  • include a signed declaration by each candidate stating compliance with the requirements listed in paragraph 8 of Resolution 2621 (2025), including a declaration of the absence of conflict of interest and confirming to have signed the Berlin Declaration of the Russian Democratic Forces before agreeing to participate in the Platform;
  • clarify the grounds on which candidates proposed as representatives of Indigenous peoples or national minorities can be considered such, in particular, proven experience and sustained engagement recognised by representatives of Indigenous peoples and national minorities of the Russian Federation in defending their inherent rights and identity.
7. On the basis of the candidatures received, the President of the Assembly shall draft a list of 15 Participants of Russian democratic forces, including 5 representatives of the Indigenous peoples and national minorities of the Russian Federation. This list may include Russian citizens on active duty fighting in the Ukrainian military.
8. The President shall submit the list to the Bureau of the Assembly for approval. If approved by the Bureau, the list of Participants of Russian democratic forces shall subsequently be submitted to ratification by the Assembly.
9. As set out in in Assembly Resolution 2621 (2025), once approved by the Bureau and ratified by the Assembly, the list shall be valid for one ordinary session of the Assembly. The composition of the Platform, therefore, shall be reconsidered by the Bureau and ratified by the Assembly at the beginning of each ordinary session. The composition may be modified, partially or in its integrity, or confirmed.

Functioning of the Platform

1. As regards the functioning of the Platform, the Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly submits the following proposals:
  • Meetings of the Platform shall be convened and chaired by the President of the Assembly. If unable to attend a meeting, the President may delegate the General Rapporteur on Russian democratic forces to chair meetings of the Platform;
  • The Chair may decide, at the latest at the time of adopting the meeting agenda, that part of the meeting or a specific item will be open to the public;
  • Meetings of the Platform may be held during part-sessions in Strasbourg. The President may also convene meetings of the Platform in Paris or, at the invitation of its parliament or other relevant authorities, in another member State of the Council of Europe;
  • The Platform cannot take any decisions that would engage the Assembly;
  • The costs of the functioning of the Platform shall be covered through extrabudgetary resources;
  • Meetings of the Platform are held in the official languages of the Council of Europe;
  • Following a specific invitation by the respective Chairpersons, the Participants of Russian democratic forces may participate in hearings organised by Assembly’s committees, sub-committees and networks, when their contributions are particularly pertinent;
  • In case of a substantiated complaint about the non-compliance of a Participant with the criteria set out in paragraph 8 of Resolution 2621 (2025), the President of the Assembly shall immediately suspend the participation of the person concerned until the Bureau takes a decision.

Gradual implementation of Resolution 2621 (2025)

1. As set out in Resolution 2621 (2025), “One year after the establishment of the Platform, the Bureau shall review the implementation of this resolution and consider possible amendments or other measures to be taken”.
2. Only following this review, the Bureau may decide to enable the Participants of Russian democratic forces in the Platform to attend meetings of the Assembly’s committees, sub-committees and networks during part-sessions, and to take the floor when authorised by the respective Chairpersons. They may participate in the work of political groups according to the conditions established by the groups.

1. The Bureau is invited to approve the modalities for the implementation of Assembly Resolution 2621 (2025) on Russian democratic forces.
