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 judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violations established on account of the authorities’ failure to provide protection from domestic violence against the applicants and the authorities’ condonation of domestic violence reflecting their discriminatory attitude towards the first applicant as a woman (violation of Article 3 and violation of 14 in conjunction with Article 3);
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 that the aggressor had passed away and noting that no award of just satisfaction was made by the Court in this case (see document
DH-DD(2023)366);
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in this judgment continues to be examined within the framework of the T.M. and C.M. group of cases also in the light of the Court’s findings in this case, and that the closure of this case therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures in relation to authorities’ failure to provide protection from domestic violence.
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in this case;
CONCLUDES that the necessary individual measures have been adopted;
DECIDES to continue to supervise the adoption of the necessary general measures concerning authorities’ failure to provide protection from domestic violence in the T.M. and C.M. group of cases;
DECIDES to close the examination of this case.
