Paragraph 46
 

Article 75.9 introduces an automatic loss of accreditation for election observers in case of violation of electoral legislation “in any manner”, and without consideration of the seriousness of the breach. This automatic and severe sanction should be reconsidered, and due application should be given to the principle of proportionality.
