Moscow officially withdrew from the Council of Europe's European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) on Nov. 1.

The withdrawal comes after Russian authorities notified the Council of Europe of their decision to denounce the convention on Oct. 30, 2025. Under the notification procedure, the denunciation takes effect one year later.

Ukraine remains a signatory of the CPT, alongside 45 other member states of the Council of Europe.

Yeah, because conventions sure keep russians from raping, torturing and murdering people.

    It made them feel bad enough about it to leave. So, I think it was a step in the right direction.
