Honored Vladimir Vladimirovich, September 16th, 2008, was the 9th anniversary of the largest terrorist attack in Russia, in the town of Volgodonsk, the Rostov region. Officially more than 15,000 were injured, 1000 of them children, while the aftermath of that terrible tragedy still affects our children and us. On July 11th, 2002, the Council of Europe Committee approved 'Guidelines on human rights and the fight against terrorism', in which Article XVII 'Compensation for victims of terrorist acts' states: «If damages cannot fully be recovered from other sources, particularly through the confiscation of property belonging to the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of terrorist acts (such as in our case), with respect to such acts committed on its territory, the State must contribute to the compensation of victims for their losses and injuries.»
