This issue has been the subject of particular attention by the Council of Europe <...> The court found that the applicable statutory limitation period had expired and, pursuant to Article 49 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, exempted Hranovskyi from criminal liability, thereby bringing the criminal proceedings to a final conclusion." "The Cyprus Democratic Lawyers Association reiterates that respect for the rule of law, judicial independence, and the guarantees of a fair trial constitutes a fundamental prerequisite for any process of international criminal cooperation. Cases that raise serious concerns regarding judicial independence and the fair administration of justice must be examined with the utmost care and in accordance with the standards established by the European Convention on Human Rights”.
