A/HRC/32/36/Add.5 33. The system of adjudication on the dissolution of political parties was introduced by the constituent power in order to save the political activities of the minority from the tyranny of the majority, and at the same time to impose constitutional restrictions on the freedom of political parties. The Constitutional Court made the ruling after a total of 20 rounds of hearing, examination of 170,000 pages of paper evidence, and questioning of people of reference and witnesses. Consequently, the dissolution served as a last resort to protect the people from the activities of the UPP in accordance with the principle of strict proportionality. 34. Given that the ruling was made in accordance with the democratic procedures to prevent an attempt to violently overthrow the nation and to protect the general population from the unconstitutional party, the Government believes that the description of the ruling as a ‘drastic retaliatory action’ which was taken amidst ‘disquieting circumstances’ fails to reflect the reality and is biased. It should be revised. Conclusion 35. In conclusion, we would like to assure the SR of the continuous support for his mandate and wish to thank him for his visit and this report 7
