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”);

Noting furthermore, as the government considers and given the particular circumstances of each case, that no individual measure is necessary apart from the payment of just satisfaction,
