Information Note on the Court’s case-law No. 149
February 2012
Yuriy Nikolayevich Ivanov v. Ukraine - 40450/04
Judgment 15.10.2009 [Section V]
Article 46
Pilot judgment
Article 46-2
Execution of judgment
European Court’s decision to resume examination of applications concerning non-enforcement of domestic court judgments in Ukraine
On 21 February 2012 the European Court of Human Rights examined the state of the implementation of the pilot judgment in this case concerning issues of prolonged non-enforcement of domestic decisions (see Information Note no. 123), and the position in about 2,500 similar cases currently pending before the Court. It noted that Ukraine had not adopted the required general measures to tackle the issues of non-enforcement at the domestic level. It further noted that, while a number of cases had been struck out of the list of cases pending before the Court following either a settlement or a unilateral declaration, no settlement had been proposed so far in about 700 such cases communicated to the Government. It was also noted that about 1,000 new similar applications had been lodged with the Court since 1 January 2011. In accordance with the pilot judgment, the Court decided to resume the examination of applications raising similar issues. It also expressed the hope that the Ukrainian authorities would continue cooperating with the Committee of Ministers in order to implement the pilot judgment without delay and, in so doing, would have due regard to the Committee of Ministers’ relevant recommendations, resolutions and decisions.
