Summary/Abstract: The decisions of the European Court of Human Rights are effective to the extent they are given due importance by those to whom they are addressed. When the Court decides that one or several provisions in the Convention have been violated, the States involved are bound to take all the necessary measures to comply with the respective decisions. While such compliance is monitored by the Committee of Ministers, the Council of Europe is also interested to monitor the way States enforce the national courts’ decisions.
