Towards a reform of the European Court of Human Rights
Towards a reform of the European Court of Human Rights

Summary/Abstract: European Court of Human Rights may receive applications from any person claiming to be the victim of a violation by one of the Contracting Parties of the rights set forth in the Convention or its additional protocols. The role of the Court is to decide to what extent national authorities of Contracting Parties have respected the rights provided by the Convention. European law provides that only the Committee of Ministers has the power to monitor the judgments of the European Court, and the defendant State must inform it on the measures taken to implement the judgments of the Court. Last but not least, the Committee of Ministers deals with optimising and increasing the efficiency of the Court, and with the ongoing reform of this European judicial mechanism.
