Your Excellencies!
Honourable Ladies and Gentlemen!

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has to address You due to the unprecedented attempt by the President V.A.Yushchenko to dissolve the parliament which was constitutionally formed on the grounds of the most democratic elections recognized worldwide.

On 2 April 2007, V.A.Yushchenko signed the Decree on anticipatory termination of powers of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and de facto the immediate ban to parliament’s activities, without any legal reasons and violating the basic principles of constitutionality, law and democracy, and thus provoking the civic conflict.

Via his entourage and the political circles he relies on, the President of Ukraine interferes with the activities of legislators, brings pressure on judges of Constitutional Court and other courts, since in the legal dimension he does not have any chance to defend his unconstitutional decree.

The attempts to present the artificially provoked conflict as the variation of political struggle or application of the European practice of pre-term elections are denied by numerous examples of flouting the Constitution and laws, ignoring the rights and freedoms of the people by the President of Ukraine. The President of Ukraine has consciously and openly stepped over the bounds of the Constitution of Ukraine.

Considering the danger for the Ukrainian society, that threatens the sovereignty and the state integrity and therefore the regional stability, we ask you to take measures that correspond to generally accepted democratic values as well as principles and standards of international law.

In particular, we would like to request You to delegate to Ukraine the official representatives of your countries as mediators and observers of the course of events.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine assures You of its highest consideration and devotion to the Constitution of Ukraine and our international obligations.

Adopted at the plenary meeting
of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
9 April, 2007
