Kyiv, Dec. 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A delegation of lawmakers from the BYT-Batkivschyna faction at the January session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will seek for the inclusion of the sanction imposing against judges and prosecutors involved in the political repressions of the Ukrainian opposition into the Resolution on Ukraine, Batkivschyna deputy leader Hryhoriy Nemyria has said.
He said in late January 2012 a report of the Committee on the Honoring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) on Ukraine will be heard at the PACE session.
"We’ll seek for the report during the drawing up of the final resolution also reflecting the need of imposing sanctions against representatives of the regime," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on December 29, reads a posting on the Web site of the Batkivschyna leader and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
He also said that the recommendations to the European Union have been proposed by the European Council on Foreign Relations in a policy memo entitled "Ukraine after the Tymoshenko Verdict."
"The memo for the first time is recommending the EU to apply an algorithm and order of sanctioning judges, prosecutors and supervisors from the Procuracy involved in the Tymoshenko trial," he added.
He said that the European Council on Foreign Relations also recommends the EU leaderships that the constitutional court judges who undermined their credibility by agreeing to the coup d’état in 2010 when the 2004 political reform was canceled and Ukraine returned to the Constitution of 1996 should also be targeted.
"Sanctioning or not – President [Viktor] Yanukovych has formed his own image by own hands – as a political cannibal aiming at wiping out the position for the sake of the political monopoly headed by him and his family. Ukrainians would not make it up, as well as key international organizations," he said.
