The Supreme
Administrative Court of Ukraine upheld a ban of the Communist Party of Ukraine,
the press service of the Justice Ministry reported.
According to the ministry, the
Supreme Administrative Court overturned the Party’s appeal to open proceedings
challenging the legal opinion of the Commission on compliance with the Law of
Ukraine "On the condemnation of the Communist and National Socialist
(Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and prohibition of promotion of their
symbols."
"This conclusion has
established non-compliance of the Communist Party’s activities, its name, and
symbols with the requirements of the Ukrainian legislation," reads the
statement.
The Supreme Administrative
Court found that "the appeal is unfounded while the arguments set out
in it are not the base for reviewing the case, since the applicant did not give
reasons for believing that the court incorrectly applied the rules of
substantive or procedural law."
This judgment of the Supreme
Administrative Court of Ukraine can not be appealed.
Thus, the administrative
courts have come to the conclusion that the arguments of the representatives
and lawyers of the Communist Party of Ukraine are not grounded. That is, the
validity of mentioned conclusion and the ban of the Communist Party, have
finally been confirmed.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on
July 8, 2014, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and Ukraine’s State
Registration Service have lodged a claim with the District Administrative Court
of Kyiv to ban the activities of the Communist Party of Ukraine.
The lawsuit stated: "The
CPU performs actions aimed at forceful change of the constitutional order,
violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, propaganda of
war, violence, incitement of ethnic hatred, encroachment on human rights and
freedoms; as well as representatives of the Communist Party systematically
appeal to the creation of paramilitary groups."
On December 16, Kyiv’s
District Administrative Court satisfied the claim of the Ministry of Justice of
Ukraine in full, banning the activities of the Communist Party of Ukraine,
according to the court’s official website.
