Russia has finally changed its position on the European Court of Human Rights. Since 2006, Russia has been the only one of 47 participating states to refuse to ratify.

Russia agreed to sign on after Vyatkin addressed Russia's proposal to have a guarantee that Russian judges on the court would take a part in reviewing the complaints against Russia.
