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.

Oh noes? What will Russia do next, now that they are no longer bound by their word and honour. ಠ_ಠ
