Why Is Europe Silent About Ukraine’s Move to Confiscate Russian Property?
This ugly episode demonstrates yet again that for Ukraine’s leaders their commitment to “Europe” and its supposed values is purely cynical and manipulative
What this ugly episode demonstrates yet again is that for Ukraine’s leaders their commitment to “Europe” and its values is purely cynical and manipulative. In no sense is it a genuine commitment to those things Europeans imagine to be their values — democracy, the rule of law, protection of private property and of human rights. Rather, the loudly proclaimed fealty to “Europe” simply a device to cloak to hide their hatred of Russia and to their policy of distancing Ukraine from Russia.
The true attitudes of Ukraine’s leaders have in fact been on ill-concealed display ever since the Maidan protests first began in November 2013. To anyone who has followed the actual behaviour of Ukraine’s leaders this latest illegal law comes as no surprise.
Nor sadly does another aspect of this episode: the deafening silence from Europe.
Back in 2013 the Russian parliament enacted an amendment to a content ratings law that imposed small fines for the publication of material about non-standard sexual relationships to minors. Whatever view one may take of this law its scope and impact is strictly limited and it was framed in a way that sought to observe the framework of the Convention.
That law however became the subject of gigantic media and publicity campaign against Russia in the West that extended to demands for a boycott of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
The Ukrainian government and parliament is now proposing to enact a far more oppressive and discriminatory law and one which openly contravenes the most basic principles of the Convention and about that fact the West has nothing at all to say.
It is of course open for any Russian citizens whose property is confiscated under the provisions of this law to challenge the law in the European Court of Human Rights. That challenge however will take years and is unlikely to result in proper compensation.
In the meantime Western leaders who support Ukraine such as former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen say Ukraine is fighting for Europe’s “values”.
They are wrong. Through their complicity as Ukraine descends into lawlessness and chaos, and through their silence in the face of laws like this, it they adopt who adopt Ukraine’s values.
