At the moment, members of our Association, colleagues (French law offices) and specialists involved are conducting research for the round table of the Paris-Sorbonne University on the use by the Russian Federation for political purposes of the Interpol mechanisms for crimes of economic nature and the peculiarities and prospects of the French economy in the context of the war in Ukraine.
The monograph will be devoted to the analysis of the specifics of research activities of international organizations in emergency situations, including against the background of unfavorable military and political situation.
The team of authors seeks to identify and summarize new vectors of analytical work of major international organizations in the conditions of war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine as a new challenge for integration processes and international law.
The research team will focus on the 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, international financial centers in emergency situations. The issues of adaptation of justice institutions to unfavorable political-military environment will be covered.
The main analytical documents adopted by a number of international organizations in the context 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 researchers and practitioners, teachers of higher educational institutions, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students of faculties of law, economics, political science and international relations.
At the moment our Association “ARGA” is forming a broad report for the “United Nations” and the General Assembly of Interpol, aimed at a significant restriction of the Russian Federation in terms of Interpol's ability to search for its citizens.
Aims and objectives of the report on “The need to limit the ability of the Russian Federation to prosecute persons accused in fictitious criminal cases by abusing its power”
Interpol is a supranational police organization dedicated to the exchange of information among its 195 member states, mainly through a Red Notice system designed to alert member countries to the cross-border movement of criminals.
In recent years, it has been increasingly criticized for the abuse of the Red Notice system by oppressive regimes, including Russia, where anti-democratic states use it to search for political dissidents in exile or fleeing abuse, rather than those who commit crimes.
Several French lawyers who are handling high-profile public cases in France, two French law firms and members of our Association are involved in shaping the report.
