Ukrainian lustration law violates European regulations - Venice Commission president
The Ukrainian law on lustration doesn't conform with European provisions and should be amended, President of the Venice Commission Gianni Buquicchio has said.
The application of this law with respect to people may later be reviewed by courts, including the Strasbourg court on human rights, he said during an interview with the Inter TV Channel.
Buquicchio said Ukrainian citizens participated in Maidan for the sake of reforms in their country. If these reforms were not carried out, Ukrainians would stop supporting authorities, Buquicchio added.
He said this was also disappointing for the Venice Commission, which for years worked for Ukraine's benefit to reform the country's justice system and promote democracy. The work did not guarantee success, Buquicchio said.
He urged all Ukrainian political forces to be responsible and carry out their duties, particularly in the Verkhovna Rada.
