Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question following termination for Russia of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
2026-11-03 · mfa
Zakharova says the end of the convention for Russia on 1 November is a technical matter linked to a denunciation notified to the Council of Europe on 30 October 2025. She says Russia's withdrawal from the convention was driven by reasons tied to the Council of Europe and the CPT, which she characterises as a politicised campaign.
