RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
At the moment, members of our Association, colleagues (French law offices) and the forces of attracted specialists are conducting research for a round table at the University of Paris-Sorbonne on the topic of the use by the Russian Federation for political purposes of Interpol mechanisms for crimes of an economic nature and the characteristics and prospects for the development of the French economy in war conditions in Ukraine.
The monograph will be devoted to an analysis of the specifics of the research activities of international organizations in emergency situations, including against the backdrop of an unfavorable military-political situation.
The team of authors seeks to identify and summarize new vectors of analytical work of the main international organizations in the conditions of the war unleashed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine, as a new challenge for integration processes and international law.
The focus of the research team was the established methodological approaches and results of scientific and analytical activities of the Council of Europe, its bodies (the European Court of Human Rights, the Venice Commission, the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice), the European Union, and international financial centers in emergency situations.
Issues of adaptation of justice bodies to an unfavorable military-political situation will be covered.
The main analytical documents adopted by a number of international organizations in the conditions of the war unleashed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine will also be presented.
These documents will be published in Russian for the first time.
The results of this research work can be used for scientists and practitioners, teachers of higher educational institutions, students, undergraduates and graduate students of the faculties of law, economics, political science and international relations.
SOCIAL ACTIVITY
At the moment, our Association “ARGA” is preparing a broad report for the United Nations and the Interpol General Assembly, aimed at significantly limiting the Russian Federation in terms of Interpol’s ability to search for its citizens.
The goals and objectives of preparing a report on “The need to limit the ability of the Russian Federation to subject accused persons to international prosecution in fictitious criminal cases, abusing its capabilities.”
Interpol is a supranational police organization that aims to share information among its 195 member states, primarily through a “red notice” system designed to alert member countries to the cross-border movement of criminals.
It has come under increasing criticism in recent years for its abuse of the Red Notice system by despotic regimes, including Russia, where anti-democratic states use it to target political dissidents in exile or fleeing abuse rather than those committing crimes.
Several French lawyers who conduct high-profile public cases in France, two French law offices and members of our Association take part in the preparation of the report.
