RUSSIA: ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN CHECHNYA

English/Nat
XFA
The Secretary General of The Council of Europe has again demanded an investigation into alleged human rights abuses in Chechnya.

Walter Schwimmer was in Moscow Thursday ahead of Council observers entering the rebel republic on Friday to begin registering all claims of war crimes.

On the eve of sending human rights observers into Chechnya, The Council of Europe has again demanded an independent war crimes investigation into Russian activities in the rebel republic.

The organisation's Secretary General, Walter Schwimmer, told APTN on thursday that Russia's membership of the Council of Europe meant it had to be open about what happened in Chechnya.

SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think an independent investigation of alleged war crimes is necessary. Its necessary for Russia, its necessary for democracy in Russia. Unfortunately, I'm sure that war crimes happened, that human rights were violated. It was the main criticism of the Council of Europe that actions in Chechnya were unproportionate.
SUPER CAPTION: Walter Schwimmer, Secretary General, Council of Europe

Schwimmer stated that there was now no doubt that the Russian army had acted disproportionately during its 10 month campaign in the rebel Caucasian republic.

SOUNDBITE: (English)
Its unfortunately obvious that the measures taken by the Russian army were unproportionate. So I think it would also help Russia and would help the reputation of the Russian army if all alleged violations of human rights would be investigated.
SUPER CAPTION: Walter Schwimmer, Secretary General, Council of Europe

Last spring, the parliamentary assembly of the Council, a leading human rights body in Europe, recommended Moscow be suspended from the organisation unless it took measures to end fighting and improve human rights in Chechnya.

International human rights bodies claim Russian soldiers have committed several atrocities against the civilian population in Chechnya, in particular in the villages of Aldy and Alkhan-Yurt.

Schwimmer also responded to claims by outspoken Russian general Vladimir Shamanov, a Russian army commander in Chechnya, that all relatives of Chechen fighters should be regarded as 'bandits'.

SOUNDBITE: (English)
Its intolerable and unacceptable to judge people as potential bandits or potential criminals or potential terrorists. The assumption of innocence is an essential part of the rule of law. It is therefore essential for the situation in a member country in the Council of Europe so I think that's absolutely unacceptable and intolerable not only to call people potential bandits but to greet them without proof as bandits.
SUPER CAPTION: Walter Schwimmer, Secretary General, Council of Europe

Shamanov made the comments in an interview with Russian newspaper 'Novaya gazeta' this week.

According to Schwimmer, Russia should also begin negotiations to end the fighting with the Chechens, including rebel president Aslan Maskhadov, if he supports a ceasefire.

Schwimmer is in Moscow for the launch of a Council of Europe human rights operation in Chechnya.

Schwimmer and council human rights observers are due to fly to the Caucasus later on Thursday.

On Friday they will visit the village of Znamenskoye in the north of the republic where three Council of Europe experts will begin their task of registering all claims of war crimes in Chechnya.
