Russia’s Duma (lower parliamentary chamber) is expected to adopt a declaration that neither ratifies nor rejects European Court of Human Rights procedural amendments that have been ratified by all other Council of Europe members. The declaration states that reform of the Court is important, but should not threaten Russia’s national interests. Controversial amendments include those that would accelerate the disposition of cases (the number of cases against Russia would be expected to increase) and permit cases to be decided by three-judge panels that do not include a judge from the member-country being sued. President Dmitri Medvedev stated that negotiations on ratification continue.
