Paragraph 33
 

Article 22 does not specify the procedure for revocation. It remains unclear whether the right to revocation rests on the People’s Assembly as the body confirming the members or on the different organs including the Assembly of Gagauz-Yeri and law courts as bodies which proposed the members to the Assembly. In both cases, it would appear that these organs have the power to dismiss a CEC member, even without any court decision. If it were the assembly itself that had the power to investigate the “serious violations”, a procedure for granting the defence of the charged CEC member should be stipulated, and some possibility to appeal should be foreseen. It is not specified according to which procedure the law courts may revoke the membership of CEC.
