Well, we are both right and wrong. I have now checked and it was just an Italian PM invitation for Putin to join, not their own bid.
As for European Human Right Court it has power over Russian national judicial bodies due to Russian membership in a Counsil of Europe.
The European Court of Human Rights has very limited theoretical jurisdiction, and only in certain very specific areas of ‘human rights’, when it comes to members of the Council of Europe. It also has no means of enforcement and in Russia is generally ignored.
Your earlier post stated that a traffic ticket from a Siberian highway patrolman or a Russian court verdict were subject to a Europe court’s approval: not the case, and knowing Russians, I very much doubt it ever will be.
I’ve yet to meet a Siberian patrolman who gave out tickets, in any case. They all just take bribes: with either smiles or threats depending on their mood that day - don’t you just love Russia?
