The appropriate amendments in the Law on the Representative on International Legal Matters, a number of powers of the representative will be clearly defined, in particular, in connection with submitting applications to the European Court and the International Court of Justice to apply provisional or interim measures.

The Representative on International Legal Matters can submit a request for an interim measure to the European Court on behalf of the Republic of Armenia, and will also have the opportunity to submit a petition to the International Court of Justice without a government decision to apply a security measure. As a result of international arbitration or submission of the dispute to the court or negotiations carried out within the framework of international arbitration disputes, a settlement agreement may be concluded, which must be submitted to the Government for approval. Lawyers sent to international courts, the European Court’s Judgment Enforcement Department and international arbitration centers will leave based on the decision of the RA Prime Minister. According to the Representative on International Legal Matters, Yeghishe Kirakosyan, if the given person is not a public servant, then a corresponding contract will be signed with the latter.

Presenting the positive conclusion of the NA Standing Committee on State-Legal Affairs, Arpine Davoyan noted that in the case of adopting the proposed regulation, the legislative powers of the Representative will be more clearly regulated, as a result of which the quality of protection of the interests of the Republic of Armenia and the efficiency of the Representative’s activities will increase.
