Origin

2012 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2, insert the following paragraph:

"However, the Russian Federation has not fulfilled, to date, all obligations and commitments provided for by the Assembly's Opinion 193 (1996), especially those regarding the restitution of all property and goods claimed by Council of Europe member states, as well as the cultural and religious property mentioned in paragraphs 10., 10.xii, 10.xiii and xiv or the said Opinion."

Explanatory note

The amendment underlines that not all commitments provided for by Opinion 193 (1996) are implemented and some of them, because of their sensitivity, need a more careful consideration by the Assembly until their full implementation. In 1996 all these commitments were accepted by the Russian delegation.
