Bill Bowring, PhD in International Human Rights Law from London University said the pleading against Russian Federation passed by Georgian side was improperly drafted initially.
"According to the convention on elimination of all forms of racial discrimination all legislative means stipulated by the convention must be exhausted before sending the application to the Court. This is a rule in International Law. I was surprised from the beginning that Georgia chooses straight away the Court proceedings, "- scientist said to RFE RL.
At the same time the case will not be proceeded to the end in this form. "One cannot send one and the same case twice unless the Court will not decide that one differs from another. For this, Georgia has to think carefully for the future steps, "- he said.
The better perspectives have cases in ECtHR presented by ethnic Georgians accusing RF in breach of its rights in occupied territories.
