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 the continuous denial of access to property in the northern part of Cyprus and consequent loss of control thereof in both cases, as well as the resulting breach of the applicant’s right to respect for his home in the Saveriades case (Article 8 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1);
Recalling that the Court awarded to the applicants just satisfaction in respect of the loss of use of their properties and in respect of non-pecuniary damage and costs and expenses;
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 noted that the applicants concluded friendly settlements before the Immovable Property Commission set up in the northern part of Cyprus in 2005, providing for the payment of global sums covering all aspects of the applicants’ property claims, including the value of the properties and the sums awarded by the European Court, including default interest (see documents DH-DD(2025)501 and
DH-DD(2025)608);
Having noted the confirmation of the payment of the sums agreed;
Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved and recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in these cases is examined by the Committee within the framework of the Cyprus v. Turkey case and that the closure of these cases does not therefore prejudge the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures in relation to the property rights of displaced Greek Cypriots;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases as regards the individual measures;
DECIDES to close the examination of these cases.
