"The Assembly further notes that civil society organisations and individual witnesses who hold and provide evidence supporting the enforcement of the Court's judgments and the maintenance of sanctions regimes face retaliation from the Russian Federation and from sanctioned entities operating through proxies in Council of Europe member States. The Assembly calls on member and observer States to establish effective protection mechanisms for such persons and organisations, in line with Resolution 2669 (2026) "Fighting back against transnational repression", in particular by providing alternative procedures for the renewal of identity and travel documents for those who cannot safely approach the authorities of the state that issued them, by ensuring that INTERPOL is informed of extradition refusals and that corresponding notices or diffusions are reviewed, by ensuring the correction or deletion of data obtained or shared through abusive requests from perpetrator states, and by designating retaliation against such persons as an aggravating factor in any assessment of the requesting state's compliance record."
