    An explanatory note attached to the draft legislation says that the measure is appropriate because “as of March 16, 2022, the Convention in question ceased to apply to the Russian Federation, as did the protocols ratified by Russia.”

    That’s a very specific date, but I can’t find anything that would seem to have triggered that opinion on that date. Anyone have any idea what they’re referring to?
