Article 20. Procedure for canceling security measures

Security measures shall be canceled if the grounds for the application, as specified in Article 16 of this Law, were eliminated, as well as in case if their subsequent application is not possible due to violation by a protected person of terms and conditions of an agreement signed by the body providing security measures with the protected person in accordance with Part Six of Article 18 of this Law.

Security measures can be canceled following a written application from a protected person submitted to a body making decision on providing protection.

Cancellation of security measures shall be allowed only under a resolution (order) of a body that made a decision on providing protection, or under a resolution (order) of a body in charge for the criminal case proceedings.

Resolution (order) on cancellation of security measures may be appealed through a superior body, a prosecutor or a court. An appeal shall be subject to consideration during twenty four hours after its submission.

The resolution (order) on cancellation of security measures shall address the issues of restoring property rights and thus related personal non-property rights of a protected person.

The resolution (order) on application of security measures shall be effective until adoption by a body specified in Part Two of Article 5 of this Law of a decision on their cancellation.

A court, in adopting resolution on criminal sentence, shall adopt an oder on cancellation of security measures, or on continued application of the specified measures.
