MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. The Russian governmental commission on lawmaking approved amendments to the law on the national judicial system that will make it possible for Russia not to enforce decisions of foreign criminal court without a relevant international treaty or a resolution of the UN Security Council, according to Commission’s papers seen by TASS.
"The governmental commission approved proposals on amendments to Article 6 of the Federal Constitutional Law ‘On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation’," the documents indicate.
The draft law suggests legislative enshrining of the jurisdictional sovereignty of the Russian Federation from outside court decisions, Board Chairman of the Association of Russian Lawyers Vladimir Gruzdev told TASS.
"It is proposed to make amendments to the Federal Constitutional Law ‘On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation’ and establish that rulings of courts of foreign countries vested with powers in the sphere of legal proceedings by other foreign countries without the participation of Russia, and international judicial bodies, whose competence is not founded on an international treaty of Russia or a resolution of the UN Security Council, should not be enforced in Russia, he said.
