Paragraph 118
 

R. Transparency/observation


Article 11(6) provides that the CEC can withdraw the accreditation of an international observer in the event of violation of legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic, without taking into consideration the seriousness of the violation. This goes against the principle of proportionality. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR recommend reconsidering this provision in order to make it in conformity with the principle of proportionality.
