The EU Presidency is profoundly concerned in regards to Ilascu case, which was not yet solved. During the last month, the European Union made numerous declarations calling on Russia to fully implement the decision of the European Court for Human Rights (ECHR). The Committee of Ministers has already adopted four interim resolutions on this issue, which were made within the frameworks of the reunion of the Committee of Ministers (ambassador level) of the Council of Europe. The declaration reiterates the standpoint of EU that all the decisions of the Court must be unconditionally implemented by the parts which were found guilty of violating the European Convention of Human Rights. ECHR specified in its decision that the respondent states must undertake all the necessary actions in order to put an end to the arbitrary detention of the convicts who are still kept in prison and to immediately set them free. The Russian presidency of the Council of Ministers is already half term beyond, and by not executing the decision obscures its mandate and seriously threatens the protection system of the human rights of the Council of Europe. In light of this situation, the EU calls on the Russian Presidency to undertake all necessary measures in order to ensure fulfillment of the decision on Ilascu case, is said in the end of this declaration, cited by Info-Prim Neo. Ilie Ilascu, together with other 5 citizens of the Republic of Moldova, was convicted on June 2, 1992, being accused by the Transnistrian authorities of war crimes and terrorist actions. Ilascu was condemned to death sentence, but he was set free in May 2001. Ilascu Group won at ECHR the lawsuit against Moldova and the Russian Federation in July 2004. The Court decided that the two members of the group imprisoned in Tiraspol – Andrei Ivantoc and Tudor Petrov-Popa must be immediately set free, but they are still imprisoned there.
