Summary: The Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine is but the last piece of a chain of the gravest breaches of its commitments towards the Council of Europe. It has ended by the application of the strictest technical resource foreseen by the Statute: the expel of Russia. This has been so despite the fact that obscurity of relevant provisions to be applied, lack of previous practice on the issue and Russia’s attitude have made the overall procedure more difficult to understand. Russia’s situation with regard to CoE conventions to which it was a party differs from one case to another, but in general terms the organisation’s approach is more prone to the exclusion of Russia from any participation to the said treaties. Undoubtedly, the most relevant consequence of this situation is Russia’s withdrawal from the ECHR and impunity that will preside human rights breaches which could not be included in the extra six month period established by the ECHR, additionally to difficulties in the overall development of judicial procedures before the ECtHR and ways to secure Russia’s compliance with judgments issued by the ECtHR. New challenges also arise with regard to compliance of Russia with its financial obligations and the situation of CoE civil servants with Russian nationality.
