The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),
Having regard to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations established on account of poor conditions of detention;
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and
- of general measures preventing similar violations;
Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;
Having examined the action plans provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted to give effect to the judgments notably the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court and the release of the applicants (see documents DH-DD(2022)306 and https://search.coe.int/cm/Pages/result_details.aspx?Reference=DH-DD(2022)41DH-DD(2023)1413);
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in these judgments as regards poor conditions of detention continues to be examined within the framework of the Mironovas and Others group of cases, also in the light of the Court’s findings in these cases, and that the closure of these cases therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures in this respect;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases;
CONCLUDES that the necessary individual measures have been adopted;
DECIDES to continue to supervise the adoption of the necessary general measures concerning poor conditions of detention in the Mironovas and Others group of cases;
DECIDES to close the examination of these cases.
