The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) this Friday sentenced Russia to compensate Georgia in the amount of 130 million euros for actions taken during the 2008 conflict in the South Ossetia region.
The Strasbourg Court recognized itself as competent in this case, despite the fact that Russia was expelled from the Council of Europe in March 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, and asked the Committee of Ministers of the organization to continue to monitor the execution of sentences against Moscow. .
European judges found it proven that Russia tolerated acts contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights, such as killings of civilians, arson, looting of cities, inhuman and degrading treatment, arbitrary arrests and torture during the conflict.
