Considering that in these cases the Court, having taken formal note of the friendly settlements reached by the government of the respondent State and the applicants and having been satisfied that the settlements were based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention or its Protocols, decided to strike these cases from its list;

Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved, given that the just satisfaction has been paid and recalling that the domestic proceedings have been terminated at the time of the adoption of the decisions by the Court;
Recalling that the question of the general measures required to implement undertakings made by the authorities in these cases continues to be examined in the context of the Rutkowski pilot-judgment and that the closure of these cases is without prejudice in any way to the Committee’s assessment of the general measures necessary to ensure the expeditiousness of civil and criminal proceedings and the effectiveness of the domestic remedy,
