The Committee of Ministers decided, in the context of the procedure launched under Article 8 of the Statute of the Council of Europe, that the Russian Federation ceased to be a member of the Council of Europe as from 16 March 2022. On 23 March 2022, it adopted Resolution CM/Res(2022)3 on legal and financial consequences of the cessation of membership of the Russian Federation.

Although the Russian Federation ceased to be a High Contracting Party to the Convention on 16 September 2022, it remains bound by obligations under the Convention, including to implement judgments of the Court, in accordance with Article 58 of the Convention, and the Committee of Ministers continues to supervise the execution of the judgments and friendly settlements concerned.
