Please find attached a letter from the President of the Constitutional Court of Moldova, Domnica Manole, addressed to the Head of your esteemed institution, regarding the 17th meeting of the Bureau of the WCCJ, which will take place on Saturday, 19 March 2022. Best regards, Stanislav Pavlovschi, External Relations Department, Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova 28, Al. Lapusneanu street, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, MD-2004 http://www.constcourt.md <http://www.constcourt.md/> e-mail: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> tel.: +37322253727, mob.: +37369040407 Chisinau, 17 March 2022 Honorable President/Chief Justice, On 19 March 2022, the 17th meeting of the Bureau of the World Conference on Constitutional Justice (WCCJ) will take place. According to the Agenda of the meeting, the Bureau will be invited to decide whether to propose to the General Assembly the suspension of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and/or the Constitutional Court of Belarus from the World Conference. In this regard, I hereby inform you that the Constitutional Court of Moldova, as Presiding Court over the CECC, will vote in favor of proposing to the General Assembly of the WCCJ the suspension of the membership of the Constitutional Courts of the Russian Federation and Belarus, under Article 9 of the Statute of the WCCJ. At the same time, if there are objections to the position of the Constitutional Court of Moldova, please inform us at [email protected], by tomorrow, 18 March at 18:00 (Chișinău time). The relevant provisions of the Statute of the World Conference on Constitutional Justice read as follows. According to Article 9 of the Statute of the WCCJ, “[i]n cases of flagrant violation by a member of the principles on which the World Conference is based (Article 1), the Bureau may submit a written proposal to the General Assembly for that member’s suspension. Unless one third of the members object to this proposal within one month of notification having been sent, the suspension enters into force (Article 4.b.7).” While members of the World Conference can themselves terminate their membership (Article 9.2), the Statute does not provide for any termination of membership by the Bureau or the General Assembly. In case of suspension under Article 9.1 of the Statute, the membership as such remains active and the suspension can be revoked again at a later stage. In the absence of a specific provision on this, the suspension can be revoked under the same procedure, i.e. by the General Assembly upon a proposal by the Bureau. Please accept, Honorable President/Chief Justice, the assurances of my highest esteem. Domnica MANOLE, President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic Moldova
