MOSCOW. June 9 (Interfax) - The Russian Foreign Ministry is concerned by what it sees as a tendency at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to review its own rulings and make decisions based on prejudice and bias, the Russian Foreign Ministry has stated.
A Friday commentary by the ministry's information department on the Sysoyevs vs. Latvia case at the court says that the ECHR logic is regrettable.
"Instead of bolstering the reputation of the court, as a body of international justice it virtually makes it possible to use the court for purposes incompatible with the letter and spirit of the European Convention of Human Rights and opens the door to the application of dual standards and a discriminatory policy by countries of the Council of Europe," the commentary says.
Russia regards as highly politicized the decisions on such recent ECHR cases as Zdanok vs. Latvia, Ilascu vs. Moldova and Russia, Penart vs. Estonia and others.
The Foreign Ministry hopes that when a judgment is made on the Sysoyev case, "the court will take into account all the circumstances of the case, including pressure on the claimants - the Sysoyevs were detained and interrogated in connection with their complaint to ECHR."
