The Constitutional Court of Ukraine refused to open proceedings on the complaint of Bohuslaiev V.O. regarding the constitutionality of part 2 of Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine “On Sanctions”, which defines the range of subjects to whom sanctions may be applied. Structurally, the ruling consists of three main parts: 1) presentation of the essence of Bohuslaiev V.O.’s complaint; 2) analysis of court decisions in the applicant’s case; 3) substantiation of the refusal to open proceedings. Key provisions of the ruling:
• The Constitutional Court established that in the final judicial decision in Bohuslaiev’s case (resolution of the Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court), the contested legal norm was not applied
• The Appellate Court directly indicated that sanctions are applied to individuals regardless of their citizenship based on other articles of the Law (3, 4, 5, 5-1)
• Since the contested norm was not applied in the final judicial decision, the constitutional complaint was deemed inadmissible in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 62 of the Law on the Constitutional Court of Ukraine
