SERVICE DE L’EXECUTION DES ARRETS DE LA CEDH ACTION PLAN ,., l" the Russian Authorities on the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in the Khashiyev group of cases {within the context of the time-table for the future examination of specific aspects of this group of cases in 2020).
Violation
In its judgments in the Khashiyev group of cases, the European Court of Human Rights ("the Court") found violation of Articles 2, 3, 5, and 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") and Article 1 of the Protocol No. 1 to the Convention by the Authorities of the Russian Federation in view of violations of citizen's rights during the counter-terrorism operation in the Chechen Republic and failure to ensure the effective investigation into the violations. The Russian authorities have previously repeatedly informed the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe ("the CMCE") of individual and general measures taken, including those provided for by Action Plans DH-DD(2011)130, DH-DD(2011)977, DH-DD(2012)488 part 1, DH-DD(2012)757, DH-DD(2013)935, DH-DD(2014)1 l 17, DH DD(2015)257, DH-DD(2015)773, DH-DD(2016)556, DH-DD(2016)1208, DH-DD(2017)163, DH-DD(2017)185, DH-DD(2017)190 and DH-DD(2017)197, DH DD(2018)80, DH-DD(2018)798, DH-DD(2019)494, DH-DD(2020)340 and DH DD(2020)390. This Action Plan concems the issues related to ensuring effectiveness of investigation of criminal cases involving the events that took place in the period from 1999 to 2006. This Action Plan has been prepared taking into account the recommendations stated in the CMCE decision of20 September 2018 (Cm/Del/Dec(2018)1324/18).
1. As previously reported in detail, the Russian Authorities have developed and consistently implement the Strategy for the execution of the judgments of the Court in the Khashiyev group of cases ("the Strategy") on the basis of the analysis of the Court's judgments in the Khashiyev group of cases, including conclusions and recommendations set out in the case of Aslakhanova and Others v. Russia ("Aslakhanova"), as well as the CMCE recommendations outlined in decisions and resolutions of the CMCE. In light of the legal positions stated in the Court's judgment in case no. 16664/07 Abakarova v. Russia (case "Abakarova") the necessary adjustments were made to the activities of the competent state authorities for implementation of this Strategy, and a new impetus was given thereto. An important element of the developed Strategy that is being currently implemented is ensuring effective investigation into criminal cases involving the events that took place between 1999 and 2006, i.e. the so called "historical investigations". DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 2
2. It is reminded that from 2001 to 2008, in connection with the events in the Chechen Republic, the Russian courts examined and delivered judgments of convictions in about 600 criminal cases, within the framework of which murders, robberies, criminal negligence, authority abuse and other offences committed in the Republic were investigated. More than 500 members of illegal armed groups and about 200 members of armed forces, police officers and other representatives of state and local authorities were convicted. Effective investigation into a number of cases allowed citizens to bring, within criminal and civil legal proceedings, claims for compensation of pecuniary and non pecuniary damage which were satisfied subsequently. Under the said criminal cases, affected persons were recognized as victims with providing the rights envisaged by the criminal procedure legislation to them. Thus, relating to the Khashiyev group of cases, it cornes to a certain group of remaining so called "historical cases", conceming violation of rights of citizens in the Chechen Republic in the period of the counter-terrorism operation conducted in the 2000s. During the investigations of the respective cases about 100 corpses of the applicants' relatives were found and identified; in the majority of cases, the corpses were handed over to the relatives for burial. Within the framework of execution of the European Court' s judgments, adequate measures were taken to ensure investigation in a number of cases, which received a positive assessment in the decisions of the Committee of Ministers and the supervision of the respective cases by the CMCE was discontinued (documents CM/Del/Dec(2018) 1324/18 and CM/Del/Dec(2016) 1273/H46-25). 3. It is also recalled that as of the present moment, the Russian Authorities, within the framework of the aforementioned Strategy of execution of the Court's judgments in the Khashiyev group of cases, have created the necessary legal and organisational mechanisms that have allowed to implement a number of important measures. In particular, serious reforms have been conducted in the sphere of statutory legal regulation and practical approaches to investigation. This category of cases is investigated by a fully independent authority - the Investigative Committee, divisions of which coordinate their activities with other law enforcement bodies. After the Court's judgment was delivered, proceedings in all the criminal cases that had become the subject of its examination were resumed. Important elements of the investigation included implementation of a set of measures for ensuring protection of victims' rights, for creation of an operant mechanism of search for missing persons, creation of a database of such persons, as well as a unified genomic information database, equipping of expert institutions, etc. These measures were positively assessed in the CMCE decisions including the decision of20 September 2018 (Cm/Del/Dec(2018)1324/18). 4. During the reporting period the authorities took a number of additional measures to ensure effective investigation in the examined Khashiyev group of cases and to ascertain the fate of the missing persons. DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 3
4.1. Information about investigations in the particular cases, which became the subject of examination by the Court in its judgments in the Khashiyev group of cases, is provided in the Table attached. This Table contains the information on the status of investigation, including on reasons for termination and suspension of the criminal proceedings, or for refusai to institute the criminal proceedings, and the information about notification of the applicants and/or their representatives of the investigation results, and/or provision of copies of the relevant case files. As follows from the Table, in the respective period it did not appear possible to establish all the circumstances of the events that had taken place and the fate of the m1ssmg persons. 4.2. It is noted that successful completion of the investigations was impeded by objective difficulties because, as noted above, the subject of examination by the Court and, later, of the supervision by the CMCE, were the "historical cases" related to violation of citizens' rights in the period of the counter-terrorism operations conducted in early 2000s, i.e. about 20 years ago. Among the main reasons why complete investigation of such cases and full establishment of the circumstances of the events and the perpetrators have not been achieved yet are: conducting the initial investigation in the period of the armed conflict when a significant part of the territory of the Chechen Republic was controlled by illegal armed groups and many state institutions were not functioning; irrecoverable loss of the most important evidence including materials for conducting of expert examinations and archive documents as a result of military hostilities, commission of terrorist acts, explosions and tires; rotation of military servicemen that was taking place, their use of documents; categorical refusais of the killed persons' relatives, due to their national traditions, to allow exhumation of corpses for conducting expert examinations, etc. In many cases, as established by the Court, violations were indeed committed at the initial stage, but it no longer appears possible to eliminate them. There were facts when persons reported as missing, even in case of lodging applications with the Court, were not always really missing, they had actually gone to other regions, including abroad, or continued to take part in banned organisations and illegal armed groups. 4.3. As noted above, investigation of many cases of the Khashiyev group is now suspended due to failure to identify the persons subject to prosecution as accused, or in connection with the search for such persons. In this connection, attention is focused on the fact that the delivered decisions to suspend investigation of the respective criminal cases do not mean that the work thereon has been terminated. The operational-search activities aimed at detection of the crimes and bringing the perpetrators to the criminal liability are still being conducted by the bodies of the Interior in all the suspended cases indicated in the Table. The competent departments of the Investigative Committee, including the Department for the Chechen Republic and for DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 4
other constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the North Caucasus Federal District, proceed with taking actions aimed to perform those investigative activities that can be conducted in the absence of suspects. Once the information allowing for further investigative activities is received, the investigation in the suspended cases will be resumed immediately in due course. Therefore, the resumption of proceedings in a suspended criminal case is not a mechanical process. On the contrary, the reasons for the resumption of proceedings are decided on a case-by-case basis in view of any new information received at this particular moment, including during the continued operational-search activities that make additional investigative activities possible. According to the Table attached, all the victims were informed of the procedural decisions delivered. And the relevant documents were provided to all the victims or their representatives who filed motions for study of the criminal case files or for provision of copies of the case files. The work for ensuring the investigation in the Khashiyev group and ascertaining the fate of the missing persons is actively pursued, including within the framework of the earlier created interdepartmental cooperation mechanisms'. In this context, the following is noted. • In 2019-2020, enlarged meetings of Colleges took place at the Investigative Committee (1 March 2019 and 3 March 2020), the Prosecutor General's Office (19 March 2019 and 17 March 2020), the Main Military Prosecutor's Office (21 March 2019 and 19 March 2020) and the Ministry of the Interior ofRussia (28 February 2019 and 26 February 2020), every one of which was participated in by the heads of all law enforcement agencies, Deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council, representatives of other state authorities and public organisations. On the agendas of the respective meetings were, inter alia, issues related to ensuring effective investigations of cases and search for missing persons. Decisions, including those conceming increasing the efficiency of the respective work, were adopted based on the results of the meetings. Their execution was taken under control. • According to the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, for the purposes to ensure interaction of territorial bodies of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia with other territorial bodies of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the Southern and North Caucasus Federal Districts, that are competent in this sphere, as well as with subdivisions of the Ministry of Defence of Russia and the Federal Security Service (the FSB) of Russia, there have been developed joint special investigation activities, operational prevention and operational exploratory activities in order to establish the whereabouts of abducted and missing persons. When it is required to conduct emergency activities aimed to establish the persons
1The joint order of the Ministry of the Interior ofRussia, the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, the Investigative Committee ofRussia (no. 38/14/5 of 16 January 2015) was issued, by which the Instruction on the Procedure for Examination of Applications, Reports of the Crimes and Other Information of Incidents Connected with Disappearance of Persans was approved.

Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 5
and data of an operative interest under the mentioned category, the cooperation with Interpol is carried out. • Interdepartmental meetings took place in constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the North Caucasus Federal District. - For example, in 2019 and in February 2020 an interdepartmental and coordination meetings respectively were held in the Republic of Ingushetiya; at these meetings the results of the law enforcement agencies' work (based on the data for 2018 and 2019 respectively) in the sphere of ensuring the search for missing persons were discussed, with taking measures for improvement of the work in this area. In 2020 a coordination meeting was held in the same region for discussion of issues related to search for missing persons and ensuring effective investigation into statements about missing persons, based on the results of activities for 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Based on the results of this event, the heads of the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Ingushetiya and of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia for the Republic of Ingushetiya were invited to implement a set of additional measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of operational-search activities and investigative actions, in order to ensure timely examination of statements about missing persons, the totality of inspection measures, as well as proper investigation of criminal cases and their operational support until taking the final decisions. - The Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of North Ossetiya-Alaniya, jointly with the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia and the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic, have conducted an analysis of lawfulness of interdepartmental cooperation of the Republican law enforcement bodies, in the course of conducting criminal procedural and operational search activities, aimed at search for missing persons and identification of unidentified corpses. Following the analysis, in 2019 a joint information letter was prepared and sent to district prosecutors, to the investigation departments and subdivisions of the Republican Ministry of the Interior. - In the Republic of Dagestan, an inter-departmental working group ( consisting of representatives of the prosecutor' s office and the investigative department of the Republic) has been established and is functioning; its aim is to ensure control and prosecutor's supervision over investigation of criminal cases based on serious and especially serious crimes against persons, as well as on crimes committed by organised groups and criminal associations; in the course of its activities the group discusses on a regular basis the results of work for investigating of crimes involving missing persons. • According to the Main Investigation Department for the North Caucasus Federal District and the Main Military Investigation Department, there has been introduced, and nowadays is widely used, the practice of sending by investigators of instructions to the bodies of the Interior as regards conducting the necessary operational - service activities with providing subsequent control over compliance with the respective instructions. DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 6
• The territorial bodies of the Investigative Committee have also developed a practice (which has proved to be successful) where investigators send to supervising prosecutors motions for examination of operational record cases in the bodies of the Interior that conduct operational search activities, as well as regards compliance of the said bodies with the legislative requirements in the course of performing the respective work. Thus, presently prosecutors (who, according to the laws, have access to confidential information contained in search case-files) check operational record cases and compliance with legislative requirements in the course of operational search activities on a regular basis, both at their own initiative and - additionally - based on investigative bodies' motions. • According to the Prosecutor General' s Office and the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, based on the results of the respective inquiries there were given the necessary orders and prosecutors' response documents were submitted with regard to elimination of the violations found. The respective documents were examined and granted, the necessary measures were taken for elimination of the violations found. For 2021, the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, jointly with the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Chechen Republic, have planned additional operational record cases inquiries, with the aim to determine the completeness and quality of the operational-search activities conducted, the most promising versions to be elaborated within the framework of procedural activities. • In the reporting period the Ministry of the Interior of Russia organised and implemented monthly meetings in videoconference format with participation of the heads of the territorial bodies that supervise the subdivisions conducting operational-search activities, as well as of the heads of criminal investigation units of the Ministry's territorial bodies. Issues conceming compliance with the procedure of recording, registration, examination of statements about missing persons, the completeness of measures taken to establish their whereabouts were discussed at these meetings. Based on the results of each of the meetings held in 2019-2020, the set of the necessary measures in this respect was determined, including measures for timely preparation and submitting to the investigative bodies the materials obtained by operational search activities. • On 31 January 2019 the head of the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee ofRussia for the Chechen Republic issued instruction no. 7/213u "On checking the completeness based on the materials of inquiry into statements about crimes involving missing persons", that provided additional instructions as regards the activities aimed to effect procedural control over ensuring completeness of inquiries into statements about missing persons. • The Prosecutor's Office of the Chechen Republic, for the purposes of improvement of the work on ensuring search for missing persons, organised regular analysis of investigation of this category of criminal cases, including the cases that have become the subject of examination by the European Court. DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 7
The Prosecutor's Office of the Republic also organised quarterly hearings of reports by heads of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic on the results of operational - service activities for solution of cases of serious and especially serious crimes, including those that have become the subject of examination by, or are pending before the European Court, as well as activities for resolution of murder crimes and search for missing persons. Operational - service activities under control of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic are planned and being implemented based on the results of such hearings. • The Prosecutor' s Office of the Republic of Ingushetiya analysed prosecutor' s supervision condition in the aforementioned sphere of activity for 2019 and the first half of 2020. Based on the results of this work, information letters were sent to city/town and district prosecutors in order to comply with the legislative provisions during conducting of operational - service activities and examination of statements about missing persons. In the reporting period the Prosecutor's Office of this Republic, the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Ingushetiya and the Ministry of the Interior for the Republic of Ingushetiya have issued a joint order "On the procedure of preparation and conducting operational meetings in the Prosecutor' s Office of the Republic, dedicated to criminal cases and materials of high public significance". • One of the priority spheres of activity of the Prosecutor' s Office of the Republic of North Ossetiya-Alaniya is supervision over compliance with the law at effecting the search for missing persons. The Prosecutor' s Office of this Republic organised monthly checks of compliance with the applicable legislation at examination by the territorial bodies of the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of North Ossetiya-Alaniya of statements about crimes and other information on incidents conceming missing persons. • Similar measures were taken by the prosecution authorities of the Republic of Dagestan and the Kabardino-Balkar Republic. • Along with that, measures for implementing the principle of speciality in operational search activities were taken in the territorial bodies of the Investigating Committee in the North Caucasus Federal District. Thus, in the reporting period, the Department of the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic defined the officiais responsible for conducting operational search activities in respect of the crimes that have become the subject of examination by the European Court, including in the respective territorial bodies of the Ministry of the Interior ofRussia in various districts of the Chechen Republic. • According to the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, at the present moment the conduct of the necessary inspecting actions is ensured in respect of every case of a missing person. When effecting search in cooperation with the investigative bodies, in compliance DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 8
with the international standards and legal positions of the Court and with prosecution authorities' orders, a set of all necessary measures for establishing the circumstances of the incidents and the fate of the missing persons are taken. It was also reported that when taking the said measures the bodies of the Interior work in close contact with the missing persons' relatives and also inform them in due course of the search activities, operational-search activities and other activities conducted. • The investigative bodies and operational units of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia for the Chechen Republic, as well as other units in the other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District arranged for conducting regular reconciliations for updating the data about the initiated operational-search cases and exchanging important information. • There has been also formed a positive practice where some materials from the operational-search case-files (photos of the searched persons taken in their lifetime, medical documents containing data on injuries and bone fractures, etc.), including those obtained in connection to orders/instructions given by investigators and supervising prosecutors' orders, are attached to the criminal case-files. The Main Military Investigation Department has introduced a practice where investigators receive, on a monthly basis, from the bodies of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia summary memorandum on the results of the operational-search activities conducted. • In the reporting period, the military prosecution authorities (within the framework of their competence) took additional measures aimed at increasing the effectiveness and performance of investigators' work in the criminal cases included by the Court in the Khashiyev group. For example, on 8 October 2019 the Military Prosecutor's Office of the Southern Military District made a submission to the head of the Military Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Southern Military District in order to eliminate violations and enhance investigators' work on the examined category of cases after suspending of preliminary investigation, increase its efficiency and performance. Following the examination of the submission, in the first half of 2020 the respective criminal cases were additionally studied in the criminalistics division of the Military Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Southern Military District, with involvement of criminal law expert investigators of the district level, who have significant experience of investigation work in highly complex criminal cases. Additional instruction orders were given in respect of the cases. • An important role in the activities for conducting investigations and search for missing persons was given to statements filed by their relatives, other persons or representatives of legal entities directly with the bodies of the Interior, investigative bodies and prosecution authorities, as well as to statements received by the said bodies/authorities via the electronic messages service on the official websites of the Ministry of the Interior DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. 9
of Russia, the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor General' s Office and on the websites of their territorial bodies. Regular studying of materials and information placed on websites of various non-government organisations was also provided for in the reporting period. • In order to provide an opportunity for citizens, legal entities, non-government organisations to anonymously provide to law enforcement agencies any information on missing persons' whereabouts, places of mass-scale burials and graves, a crisis counselling line was organised and is functioning; it is also possible to apply by mail, bye-mail as well as via websites of the bodies of the Interior of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the official website of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia. No such submissions were filed in 2019-2020 with the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic or with the Ministry of the Interior of Russia and other law enforcement agenc1es. • For improvement of cooperation with civil public institutions and with the victims in this category of criminal cases, as well as for effective protection of their rights, the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic was included in the number of the participants of the cooperation agreements with the Ombudsman of the Chechen Republic, the Public Chamber of the Chechen Republic and the Council of Non-Government Organisations working in the Republic. The Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic closely cooperates with these bodies in performing their tasks for search of missing persons. • ln the reporting period the work on supplementing the earlier created searched/wanted persons databases with their photo images of better quality was continued. The aforementioned measures became possible in connection to development of the soft- and hardware used by subdivisions and services of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia in their service activities. • The Federal Genomic Information Database, created in accordance with the federal legislation, was widely used in the course of the operational - service activities and 2 investigations • In accordance with the legislation, mandatory state genomic registration and recording of the genomic information related to unidentified corpses, unidentified persons, whose biological material is taken in the course of investigative activity, as well as the traces containing biological material derived from missing persons, shall be conducted in this database too (the detailed information about this database was communicated earlier (DH-DD(2015)773)). According to the data provided by the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, as of 29 September 2020 the aforementioned database contained information on 27,394 unidentified corpses, including corpses that have been found in the Chechen Republic and in other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District.

The received genomic information is verified within the framework of the database created. Access to this database bas been provided to all law enforcement agencies. Thus, from 1 January 2019 to 29 September 2020 the employees of the Expert and Criminalistics Centre of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia alone checked against the Federal Genomic Information Database 32 genetic profiles of relatives of persons who were missing in the Chechen Republic. However, no matches of the respective genetic profiles with the DNA profiles placed in the profile database were found during the research conducted. The work is in progress. Within the framework of the cooperation of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia with the inter-regional non-political organisation "General Lebed's Peacekeeping Mission" , which sent requests for assistance in conducting a check of the 600 DNA samples of unknown persons' bodies, found by this non-government association, against their relatives' DNA in 2018-2019. The aforementioned DNA samples were included in the Federal Genomic Information Database and checked against the existing DNAs of the missing persons' relatives. However, no matches have been found yet. The work is in progress. In order to ensure the functioning of the DNA laboratories in subdivisions of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, for the purposes of procuring equipment, chemical agents and expendables for DNA analysis, as well as for providing works (services) for maintenance and technical servicing of the equipment, significant budgetary allocations were made, including in 2018 - RUB 958.3 million, in 2019 - RUB 1,254.3 million, in 2020 - RUB 1,254.3 million. • Based on the earlier concluded interdepartmental agreement between the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Chechen Republic and the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic unrestricted access bas been provided for investigative bodies to the information resources of the Ministry of the Interior for the Chechen Republic conceming search for missing citizens. • According to the Investigative Committee, during the reporting period the territorial investigative bodies appointed in respect of the criminal cases related to missing persons 295 molecular and genetic forensic examinations, 4 medical and criminalistics forensic examinations, by way of photo alignment; biological materials of 247 relatives of missing persons have been obtained. The data obtained were included in the DNA records database, including the Federal Genomic Information Database. It was also informed that the budgetary funds for conducting criminalistics forensic examinations, exhumations and procuring material and technical means have been allocated in the necessary volume. 5. For the purposes of increasing awareness of investigators, prosecutors, judges and law enforcement agencies officers: • Copies of all judgments of the European Court on the issues under examination, that became final within the reporting period, were sent to the competent state authorities (to the Investigative Committee, the Main Military Investigation DH-DD(2020)1005: Communication from the Russian Federation.
