The author was a member of the United Civic Party and its president of the Gomel Regional Division, in 2010 the author decided to launch an appeal against the Council of Deputies as they had decided not to include the party representatives in the regional District Commission. Once this appeal was launched, it was rejected by the court of first instance and furtherly rejected by higher courts as they did not have the authority to override the decision of the first instance in this regard. The author complained that his right to have a fair trial under article 14, read in conjunction with articles 2(2) and (3) of the Covenant have been violated.
The Committee found that the author had failed to substantiate how his own individual rights had been violated by the court of first instance. Thus, the Committee declares the communication as inadmissible based on article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
