The European Court of Human Rights, located in Strasbourg, proposed Russian judge Valery Musin, who was supposed to participate in the consideration of the YUKOS v. Russia case, to withdraw. The reason is that Musin has just been elected to the Board of Directors of Russian state-run corporation Gazporom, which may result in a conflict of interests. If Musin withdraws, President Dmitry Medvedev will have to select another judge to take part in the YUKOS case. Musin is a law professor who taught now-President Dmitry Medvedev and now-Prime minister Vladimir Putin.
