The Constitutional Court of Ukraine has initiated the termination of the membership of the Constitutional Courts of the Russian Federation and Belarus in the World Conference on Constitutional Justice (WCCJ).

"The Constitutional Court of Ukraine appealed to the Bureau of the World Conference on Constitutional Justice and the Secretariat of the World Conference on Constitutional Justice to terminate the membership of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Belarus in the World Conference of Constitutional Justice," the court of Ukraine told Interfax-Ukraine.

The Constitutional Court of Ukraine said that the Russian Federation is not the only state that is waging war in Ukraine. "The Republic of Belarus, as a political and military satellite of the Russian Federation, assists in deploying troops and arming the Russian armed forces on its territory, thereby contributing to the achievement of Russia's goals in enslaving Ukraine," the court said.

"Based on the fact that the goal of creating bodies of constitutional control on the territory of any continent of our world is to ensure not only the supremacy of the Constitution and its direct effect on the territory of the corresponding state, but also to ensure that state activities comply with the prescriptions of the fundamental law, the approval of the ideals of rule of law and human rights, the further membership of these courts in the World Conference of Constitutional Justice is not permissible in the light of the goals of the Conference, defined by Article 1 of its Charter," the Constitutional Court of Ukraine said.

At the same time, the court added that acts of aggression and massacres cannot go unpunished.
