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 ill-treatment by law enforcement agents and the lack of effective investigations into ill-treatment;
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 report provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted to execute the judgments including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2025)1506);
Noting with deep regret that no further individual measures are possible as further investigatory steps can no longer be taken for practical or legal reasons;
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in these judgments continues to be examined within the framework of the Sidiropoulos and Papakostas 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 relation to ill-treatment by law enforcement agents and the lack of effective investigations into ill-treatment in the context of law enforcement;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases;
CONCLUDES with deep regret that no further individual measures are possible in these cases;
DECIDES to continue to supervise the adoption of the necessary general measures concerning ill-treatment and lack of effective investigation into ill-treatment in the context of law-enforcement in the Sidiropoulos and Papakostas group of cases;
DECIDES to close the examination of these cases.
