57. The Venice Commission and ODIHR therefore recommend to the Ukrainian authorities, if they wish to disqualify certain members of prohibited parties:

• introducing adequate criteria and an effective individual assessment that would limit restrictions of the right to be elected only to those elected officials of the party whose activities have endangered the national security and the integrity of the democratic State, through their actions and expressions, and/or actively pursued illegal goals of the prohibited parties, and therefore, if elected, would pose a threat to the democratic order and national security of Ukraine;

• once the martial law has been lifted, limiting the effect of the restriction to the shortest possible period of time with ensuring that the longer ineligibility is maintained only for individuals presenting the most serious threat to the democratic order and national security and subject to decision of the relevant courts on their individual liability;

• affording to these persons the full range of procedural safeguards in the assessment process, including a sufficiently reasoned decision and the possibility to challenge the limitation of rights by providing an opportunity to seek judicial review of the decision to deprive them of the right to stand for election.
