Summary of ECHR Judgments Presented to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe

As part of a pilot project to improve the execution of judgments by the European Court of Human Rights, the Open Society Justice Initiative organized regular briefings of cases before the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers, the body that supervises the execution of ECHR judgments. This document summarizes the 26 judgments that were the subject of briefings by civil society groups in advance of the Committee of Ministers’ quarterly Human Rights (CM-DH) meetings.

The purpose of these briefings was to provide committee members with direct information on the state of execution of these judgments from advocates, lawyers, and petitioners at the national level. These case summaries are presented chronologically in the order in which the briefings occurred, commencing in 2013 through September 2015.
