The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as amended by Protocol No. 11 (hereinafter “the Convention”);
Having regard to the final judgments of the Court finding violations of Articles 11, 5 and 6 of the Convention on account of breaches of the applicants’ freedom of assembly through the dispersal of unauthorised peaceful demonstrations not posing any threat to public order and their ensuing arrest and unfair administrative convictions and detention;
Recalling that the right to freedom of peaceful assembly guaranteed by the Convention is a fundamental right in a democratic society and one of the foundations of such a society;
Recalling that the problems revealed by the present cases, notably the inadequacy of national legislation and practice, have been pending before the Committee of Ministers since 2016;
Recalling its previous decisions, in particular, inviting the authorities to submit a comprehensive action plan/report on the measures taken/planned to remedy the shortcoming identified by the Court with a view to securing the exercise of right to freedom of assembly in compliance with the Convention;
Noting with deep concern that despite its decisions the authorities have not yet provided the long awaited action plan/report demonstrating tangible progress achieved in this regard;
CALLS on the authorities to take legislative and other measures in order to ensure that national legislation and practice is compatible with the Convention requirements;
URGES the authorities to submit a comprehensive action plan on the measures taken and/or planned without further delay.
