IV. Activities and experience in the field of human rights

As Chancellor of Justice (parliamentary ombudsman) of Estonia, I have had seven years of extensive practice in the field of protecting and improving human rights. The Chancellor of Justice has two functions in Estonia: to defend the human rights and to defend the constitutional state and legal order. As Ombudsman I have applied various means to protect human rights, including put forward proposals to government agencies to eliminate violations and recommendations to shape the general administrative practice as well as launched campaigns to improve the attitude and values of the society. Regarding the protection of the constitutional state and legal order, I have made hundreds of proposals to bring legislation into conformity with the constitution and, in case of necessity, appealed to the Constitutional Court. By means of constitutional review, the Chancellor of Justice has supported the process of humanizing the legal order and strengthening the democratic system of governance.

I have participated, as an expert, in the creation of the Ombudsmen institution in Jordan and modernisation of the institution of the Public Defender in Georgia. In the period between 2003 and 2008, I trained Regional Ombudsmen of the Russian Federation in St. Petersburg.

III. Relevant professional activities

a. Description of judicial activities

i. Judge of the Supreme Special Court (Article 100 of the Greek Constitution), nominated for judicial years 2006 and 2007 (Athens)

The Supreme Special Court of the Hellenic Republic is a judicial organ that shares a lot of the privileges of Constitutional Courts. It lacks the legal remedy that forms the originality of Constitutional Courts, namely the individual appeal, amparo remedy, for the protection of an individual’s constitutional rights. However, the SSC also deals, amongst its other functions, with the resolution of conflicts in the case law of a large number of national courts, as well as the lifting of contestations regarding the unconstitutionality of a law, regarding which contradictory judgments have been ruled by the Court of Cassation (Areopagus), the Council of State and the Chamber of Accounts. Two of its 13 members are appointed (all others are Supreme Court judges), by rotation, from the faculties of two of the Law Schools in Greece.

I was appointed a member of the Special Supreme Court by a decree of the Minister of Justice (Gov. Gazette, issue B’, n° 1959, 30.12.2005) for a two year term, nominated by the Law School of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In the course of my appointment, I actively participated in all meetings of the Court, which resulted to a total of forty four (44) judgments in the course of these two years (cf. detailed description below, under n° xv.).

ii. Judge of the Special Court for actions of miscarriage of justice (article 99 of the Greek Constitution), nominated for the judicial year 2002 (Athens).

In compliance with article 99§1 of the Greek Constitution, two of the members of this Special Court are faculty members from the Law Schools of Greek Universities. I was appointed member of this Court by the decree of the Minister of Justice (published in Gov. Gazette, issue B’, n° 352, 21.3.2002) for a one-year term and participated in all six (6) meetings of the Court in the course of my appointment. None of the actions for the miscarriage of justice that were brought before the court was successful during this period. This included also the most interesting of the miscarriage of justice actions that was put on trial and for which I have written several proposals for the sessions of the Court. My proposals were in line with the view ultimately adopted by the Court in its final and definite ruling on the matter.

This miscarriage of justice action, ultimately and definitely rejected by the Court (DAK n° 11/02), regarded the rejection by the competent Greek courts of a series of actions by individuals against Germany, who claimed the payment of compensation for the rectification of the material, ethical and psychological damage they suffered from the massacre committed by Wehrmacht soldiers in 1943 in the city of Kalavryta, during the German occupation of Greece in World War II. The rejection had been ordered by the Greek courts on the grounds that they are not competent to rule on the degree by which the Defendant State, which is sovereign, enjoys the privilege of immunity from jurisdiction.

iii. Attorney of the Greek Government to the European Court of Justice (Luxembourg, 1994), for the case “Οpinion n° 1/94 on the competence of the European Community to conclude international agreements concerning services and the protection of intellectual property”.

The opinion issued by the European Court of Justice in this case, relating to the distribution of competence between the European Community and the Member States, in the field of international agreements governing certain aspects of international trade, is of capital importance for the endogenous dynamics of European integration to project itself in the international sphere, against the autonomous national authorities. The conclusions drawn from Opinion n° 1/94 by ECJ may be useful, at some point, for the regulatory work that will precede the accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights. The essence of the arguments which I developed before the ECJ for this case, for which opinion n° 1/94 was issued, comprised in the prevention of the contingency that the shared competence between the European Union and Member states in certain folds of international commerce, which appeared at the time to be the one to have been proposed by ECJ, would hurt simultaneously both the autonomy of national judgments and the unity of the international representation of the Community. In my proposals to the ECJ, I recommended for a “Code of Conduct” for the EU and the Member States to be enacted, and the Court, in its report on the hearing, devoted a distinct mention to this proposal (ECJ, European Court Reports, 1994, p. I-5385).

iv. Professor at the National School of Judges (Thessaloniki), from 1997 to 2004.

Although it is evident that this activity does not fall under the scope of judicial activities, I feel that teaching EC Law and the Law of the European Union, which I undertook throughout the term of my appointment as a professor at the National School of Judges in Thessaloniki, demanded an intellectual endeavour firmly resting on an essentially juridical logic. My objective was to help the future national judges successfully confront the challenge they believed, and continue to believe, was posed by community law. Their attitude towards community law was not dictated by “legal nationalism” - which would have been, in any case, out of context - but by a purely juridical logic: the Constitution, which represents the “gate of entry” for ‘droit venu d’ailleurs’- to paraphrase Dean Vedel - cannot be subsumed to community law, since it is the Constitution which governs the conditions for the accession and implementation of community law in internal legal order.

This way of thinking on legal matters was common during my tenure as a Professor in the National School of Judges, and was dealt with by enhancing my teaching methods with the suitable methodology and appropriate content. The methodology comprised in the comparative study of ECJ rulings and – as a rule – those by supreme national courts, for the implementation of community law in national legal orders, where I had put the emphasis on the points of convergence of the jurisprudences, rather than the points of divergence. The content of my lectures revolved around the notion of ‘judicial management’, the managing, that is, of the relations between community and national law, the juristic techniques of the direct effect and the supremacy of community law, as well as of the “relativized” procedural autonomy of the Member state with respect to community law, the procedure for the submission of a request by a national judge to ECJ for the issuance of a preliminary rule, the compensatory actions lodged by individuals with national courts for the rectification of damages suffered due to the violation of community law by another Member state.

b. Description of non-judicial legal activities

v. Member of the European Committee of Social Rights, Council of Europe (Strasbourg), elected in November 2008 for a six (6) years mandate (2009-2015).

My candidacy for one of the four (4) member posts of the European Committee of Social Rights which were vacant since January 2009, was presented by the Greek government in September 2008. I was elected member of the Committee, by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in November 2008 and made my solemn declaration for the Committee on 9.2.2009.

The duties of the members of this Committee are allocated to the two principal fields of the Committee’s regulatory activities: the elaboration of Conclusions based on the national reports regarding the implementation of the provisions in the European Social Charter (1961) or the Revised European Social Charter (1996), which had already been accepted; and the issuing of decisions, initially on the admissibility and then on the merits with regard to collective complaints lodged against one State party of the Charter, whose subject was the ascertainment of the violation of one or more provisions in the ESC or the RESC.

Already from the first meeting of the Committee in which I participated (February 2009), I actively took part in the various initiatives and actions for the implementation of the activity of the Committee in the two principal fields outlined above. Thus, I was immediately appointed a ‘shaddow rapporteur’ (due to the fact that the ‘regular’ reporters had already been allocated prior to my becoming a member of the Committee) for the implementation of Article 11 of the Charter (right to the protection of health), having contributed to the drawing up of the Conclusions for the implementation of this provision by 32 State parties to the Charter. I also participated in the assessment of various drafts for decisions on the merits, presented before the Committee by other members, acting as reporters for the corresponding collective actions. In total, I participated in the examination and assessment of ten (10) such draft decisions.

For one of the decisions that was actually adopted by the Committee (the decision on the merits of the collective action n° 48/2008 European Roma Rights Center v. Bulgaria, 18.3.2009) I filed a dissenting opinion regarding the violation of Article 13§1 of the Charter (right to social and medical assistance) combined with the violation of Article E (non discrimination), also subscribed by one more member of the Committee (J.M. Belorgey). For the next turnover of examining national reports regarding the implementation of the Charter, I was appointed a ‘regular’ reporter for the implementation of Article 28 of the Charter (the right of workers’ representatives to protection in the undertaking and facilities to be accorded to them). In March 2009, I was also appointed reporter regarding a new collective complaint filed with the Committee by the European Council of Police Trade Unions v. France (n° 57/2009) regarding the violation of Article 4§2 of the Charter (the right to a fair remuneration).

Another of the Committee’s practices comprised in the endeavour – by the members and the Secretary of the Committee – to convince Member states to subscribe to those provisions in the Charter which they had not, up to that point, accepted. Such an endeavour included delegations by the Committee, which visited the capitals of the interested nations, in order to engage in dialogue with the authorities and the social partners. I have already participated in one such delegation (in Austria, November 2009) and I am currently preparing to participate in one more, which will visit Bulgaria in March 2010. Finally, as the European Social Charter is a living legal tool, which demands its constant adjustment to the social and political reality which is evolving on all levels of public life in Europe (national, supranational and pan-European ones), I participated in the effort undertaken by the Committee to introduce new and constructive interpretations of the Charter and, to this extend, I proposed interpretative acts for the Charter regarding its territorial implementation (Doc. 275, 30.6.2009) and the implementation of Article 11§1 of the Charter (according to which, all States have the obligation to remove as far as possible the causes of ill-health) for the case of the poorest State parties (Doc. 280, 28.8.2009).

vi. Off councel, Law office « G. Ktenidis and partners” (Thessaloniki), from 1997 up today.

Provision of legal opinions on behalf of individuals, collective entities and companies, regarding issues for the interpretation and implementation of European and national law for human rights, community economic and social law and international commercial law.

vii. Legal councillor at the Hellenic Permanent Representation to the European Union (Brussels), from May 1994 to June 1996.

In the course of my appointment as a Legal Councillor at the Hellenic Permanent Representation to the European Union, my duties included the following:

a) From May until December 1994,

• Head of the HPR/EU department for issues belonging to the third pillar of the EU (cooperation on the field of justice and home affairs) and the implementation of Schengen agreements;

• Responsible for legal issues relating to the common commercial policy;

b) From January 1995 until June 1996,

• Responsible for the processing of complaints for the violation of community law by the Hellenic Republic, especially relating to the entrusting of state procurements and the award of “major works” contracts.

• Participation in the deliberations of the national and community authorities for the harmonization of Greek legislation with community law.

• Representative in the Work Group “Legal Councillors” of the EU Council;

• Representative in the Work Group “RELEX” of the EU Council (legal matters pertaining to the international relations of the Community);

• Representative in the Work Group “Trade Councillors” of the EU Council, whose subject was the collaboration between the Community and member states in the context of World Trade Organization.

viii. Member of the Special Preparatory Law Committee on the subject of the international commercial arbitration (Athens), from November 1997 to December 1998.

This Special Preparatory Law Committee, in which I was one of a total of seven (7) members, was established by a decree by the Minister of Justice (Gov. Gaz., issue B’, n° 2004, 7.11.1997) and was commissioned with the drafting of the law and its explanatory report for the incorporation to the Greek legal order of UNCITRAL’s model law regarding international commercial arbitration. This Committee produced the draft for the law on international commercial arbitration, that was voted by the Greek Parliament and became Law n° 2795/99 (Gov. Gaz., volume A, n° 167/99). The work that I have personally produced for this Special Law Preparatory Committee was included, together with other essays on Law, to the book I have edited, entitled: International Commercial Arbitration: Documents and Commentaries [in Greek, Thessaloniki, 1999], the publication of which was co-financed by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Commercial Bank of Greece.

c. Description of non-legal professional activities

ix. Member of the Working Group (Task Force) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Athens), on the EU-Turkey relationship (1997, 1998).

This Task Force, which comprised of academics, diplomats and representative of the civil society, was established by a decree by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (7.3.1997). During the first phase of my participation in this consultative unit (March – June 1997) I collaborated in the drafting of the key working paper, entitled “An upgraded relation between the European Union and Turkey” [in Greek] (restricted use document). In the second phase of my participation, I contributed to the preparation of the final draft that was produced by the Task Force, which, then, became the subject of a wide ranging deliberation both within the Government and in the House of Parliament.

x. Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Multilateral Trade Negotiations of the GATT Uruguay Round (Geneva), on the issues of the disputes settlement procedures (Negotiating group n° 13), from June 1987 to November 1988.

The transubstantiation of GATT’s system for the resolution of disputes, from a system for the political-diplomatic resolution of international disputes that fall within the multilateral regulations governing international commerce to a system for the judicial resolution of such disputes, was one of the major stakes for the Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, known as “Uruguay Round” (1986-1994). In my capacity as the representative of the Hellenic Republic, I participated in a mixed committee (comprising, that is, of representatives by Member states and the European Committee) which represented the European Economic Community in the negotiations, and which carried all of EEC’s political weight for the establishment of a new system for the resolution of WTO disputes (WTO, the World Trade Organization succeeded GATT), the main characteristics of which would facilitate its balancing between the political and juridical way for the resolution of disputes. The activity I had developed for one and a half year as a member of this committee for the representation of EEC in the multilateral trade negotiations were, I feel, acknowledged by both Greece and the European Committee who jointly appointed my, after the end of the Uruguay Round, as a member of the Indicative List of “Panelists” for the WTO (that is of the list of potential members for the ad hoc bodies for the resolution of such disputes) for the period 1995-1998.

I participate in this body of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, which stands on the verge of being a consultative and an operational unit of the Agency. I was appointed the principal legal expert upon the recommendation of the Greek organization which acts as the Agency’s “correspondent” for Greece, that is of the Center for European Constitutional Law (CECL) in Athens (Themistocles & Demetrius Tsatsos Foundation). My duties as a member of the network of legal experts may be analyzed as follows:

• I supervise the drafting, for quality control and assurance as demanded by the guidelines compiled by the Agency, of the quarterly Information Bulletin on the state of all fundamental rights in Greece, which is drawn up by external experts upon the Agency’s request.

• I supervise the drafting, for quality control, of the national surveys-studies that are drawn up by external experts upon the European Agency’s request and analyze the prevailing, in Greece, state for specific fundamental rights for a given period. Such studies are classified as either Thematic Legal Studies or – when they are required to be more concise – Flash Reports.

• I am one of the 27 members of the FRALEX network and participate in the conferences that take place at the headquarters of this European institution with the objective of assessing the reports for the state of specific fundamental rights in the Union (such reports are based on the national Thematic Legal Studies and Flash Reports), as well as the compilation of the annual working schedule regarding the national studies and composition surveys.

• In the course of my first three years with the FRALEX network (2007-2009), I supervised the compilation and quality of seven (7) quarterly Information Bulletins for the state of fundamental rights in Greece. Furthermore, I participated in five (5) meetings of the FRALEX network. But my work for FRALEX network essentially comprises in the supervision and evaluation of the Thematic Legal Studies and Flash Reports regarding the prevailing, in Greece, state for specific fundamental rights. To be more accurate, I have so far worked on six (6) Thematic Legal Studies and three (3) Flash Reports, which regarded:

• Homophobia and Discrimination on Grounds of Sexual Orientation (Thematic Legal Study, 2007).

• Racial Equality Directive Impact (Thematic Legal Study, 2007).

• Data Protection (Flash Report, 2008).

• National Human Rights Institutions (Thematic Legal Study, 2008).

• Rights of Irregular Immigrants in Voluntary and Involuntary Procedures (Thematic Legal Study, 2008).

• Child Trafficking (Thematic Legal Study, 2009).

• Situation of Roma EU Citizens Moving to and Settling in other EU Member States (Flash Report, 2009).

• Mental Health and Fundamental Rights (Flash Report, 2009).

• Update of the Thematic Legal Study on Homophobia and Discrimination on the Grounds of Sexual Orientation (2009-2010).

xii. Member of the National Commission for Human Rights (Athens) (2006-2009) & Chairman of the 2^nd Section of the NCHR (Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) (2009-2012).

I became a member of the National Commission for Human Rights, serving a three year term, initially in 2006, as the representative of the Law School at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Pursuant to law 2667/98 by which NCHR was incorporated, the Law Schools and Political Sciences Departments of home, Greek, universities are represented in the Commission based on a mixed selection system, by rotation and draw. My term was renewed in 2009. Upon the commencement of my second term (March 2009), I was elected president of the 2^nd Section of the Commission, which deals with economic, social and cultural rights.

Throughout the course of my term at NCHR so far, I have actively contributed to the processing of reports and rulings relating to the state of various human rights and fundamental freedoms in Greece, which were proposed by other members of the Commission. These were texts that were adopted by NCHR’s plenary session, which focused, among other things: on the limitation for the freedom of assembly and the protection of personal information, that were introduced by a law passed on the aftermath of the December 2008 riots in Athens and the other major urban centres in Greece; religious freedom and the issue of the separation of the Church from the State; personal and political rights of prisoners in Greek prisons; men-women equality in employment and access to services; the amendment of the Greek Citizenship Code; the amendment and modification of family law, specifically with respect to the acknowledgement of the agreement for the free living together between people of different sex; the treatment of illegal immigrants by the Coast Guard; the glitches in the national procedures for the granting of asylum; the right to decent housing for the Roma, etc.

In the course of the first period of my term, I was the reporter on the issue of the effects on personal and political rights of law n° 3251/04, which incorporated in Greek legal order EU’s framework decision for the European arrest warrant. My critical remarks and specific proposals for the amendment of the law were adopted by NCHR in November 2007 and published in the Human Rights Review (Athens), n° 39/2008, pp. 887-911 (in Greek). I was also appointed reporter, by the plenary session of NCHR, for the subject of the necessary amendment of Law n° 3304/05, which established the application of equal treatment, irrespective of ethic origin, religious or other convictions, disability, age or sexual orientation, in order for said law to be compliant to the directives of the EU Council n° 43/2000 and 78/2000 (cf. below under n° xv) which the law typically introduces to interior legal order. The observations and the NCHR action plan I prepared, will be discussed by the plenary session of the Committee in January 2010.

In June 2008 I took the initiative to propose to the Committee the adoption of an action plan for the stabilization of the law of the European Convention on Human Rights in the context of the law applicable by the Greek courts, essentially in the context of the Greek system for judicial protection. This initiative was called for by the objectives of the intergovernmental bodies of ECHR (the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, as expressed by its Recommendation Rec(2002)13, and the Group of Wise Persons set up to assess the long-term effectiveness of the ECHR, expounded in its interim report of 2006), which comprise in the propagation of EurCourtHR case law, which is produced annually by all Member states and internally in their judicial systems. The action plan I provided for the following: the establishment of a group of language proficient jurisprudents for the translation to Greek, under the aegis of NCHR, of the most significant of EurCourtHR rulings that are published each year; the annual compilation of said translated rulings to a volume, which shall be distributed free of charge to all Greek judges; the creation of 3-4 working groups, comprising of academics, lawyers and ex-judges, who will organized, at the seat of each court of appeals in the country, intensive seminars for rank and file judges on the rulings contained in each volume. The NCHR accepted my proposals and adopted the action plan, while it sought financing from the apropos public authorities. Despite the assurances given by some of these authorities with respect to the resources requested (Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National School of Judges, Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Cyprus), notable limitations which were introduced to the budget of the Greek Ministry of Justice, the party most directly interested in this endeavour, block, until today, the requisite funding and, therefore, the success of this enterprise.

Since January 2009 I participate, together with NCHR’s president and three other Committee members, in a Work Group assigned with the organization and implementation of an action plan for the systematic and in depth education of Hellenic Police personnel in human rights. The action plan that was drawn up, and which was approved by the plenary session of NCHR was inspired by similar experiences in other European countries (Netherlands, Austria, U.K.). The initiative and specific NCHR proposals were positively received by Hellenic Police Staff. For the time being, there is nothing else to be done and the matter is pending the decision by the Ministry of the Interior for the financing of the action plan, thus setting it to motion, for the benefit of all interested parties.

xiii. Professor of the Jean Monnet Chair “Human Rights Protection within the European legal order” at the School of Law, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2000 et seq.).

I became the holder of the title for one of the “Jean Monnet Actions” by the European Committee in 1998: of a “Standing Jean Monnet Class” with the subject: “Protection of Human Rights in Community Legal Order”. This class was included in the undergraduate curriculum of the Law School at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki up until 2000, when the European Commission, in response to a candidacy I filled, awarded to my person and the academic institution I serve, the “Jean Monnet” Chair with the subject “The Protection of Human Rights in European Legal Order”.

In 2000-2003, when the Jean Monnet Chair was exclusively financed by the European Commission, I had the opportunity to organize various academic activities, which went beyond the strict context of academic teaching. My teaching duties included five (5) different courses: “Protection of human rights in European legal order”, the content of which was identical to that of the class that will be analyzed in the coming paragraph, which was taught – and is still being taught – as an elective course in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes; “European citizenship”, also an elective course in the aforementioned programmes of study; “Protection of democracy, the rule of law and human rights in the framework of he international activity of the European Community and the European Union”, which was an elective course strictly for postgraduate students. Furthermore, as has been noted above, during this period I invited professors from European universities (five different fellow professors) to deliver lectures in the Law School in Thessaloniki; I have also organized visits by postgraduate students to EurCourtHR and ECJ. I had also organized groups of postgraduate students who, under my supervision, collected community case law for the fundamental rights and analyzed the main relevant rulings by the two courts in the EU and published three (3) years of community case law regarding human rights in the Greek legal Press: in the Human Rights Review, volumes n° 33/2007, pp. 225-267, 27/2005, pp. 861-947 and 11/2001, pp. 829-887.

From 2003 and until today, the Jean Monnet Chair in the Law School at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, that I hold, has been wholly subsumed under the aegis of the Aristotle University. Two courses are offered, under the same title (Protection of human rights in European legal order) but with different content, one for the undergraduate programme of studies and one for the postgraduate one. The first course focuses on the teaching of the processing by the community judge of the general principles of community law. The second course revolves around the teaching of the protection of human rights on a comparative basis, by EurCourtHR, ECH and the Court of First Instance of the European Union, the supreme courts in Greece, France, Belgium and Germany (for this last case teaching is limited to only those judgments which have been translated to English or French). The two courses offered attract a significant number of students and, as a rule, high calibre ones. Since 2000 fourteen (14) post-graduate dissertations and two (2) doctorate theses have been elaborated, while two further doctorate theses are under preparation.

xiv. Exercise of my duties as judge of the Special Supreme Court for the judicial years 2006 and 2007, on the benefits of human rights.

Roughly for one third of the judgments that were issued by SSC during the period for which I was one of its members (a total of 14 cases were put on trial, cf. above under no. i), I persistently advocated, in the sessions of the Court, the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, in order to serve and facilitate a fair trial in these particular cases. I feel that my argumentation for the issuance of ruling AED n° 4/2006, regarding the implementation of rules which introduce deadlines for the initiation of an action (implementation of Article 6§1 ECHR and the case law by EurCourtHR Zvolsky & Zvolska, 2002, Miragall Escolano and others, 2000 and Melin, 1993) and judgments AED n° 3, 4 and 5/2007, regarding the retributive or non retributive nature of social provisions as a condition for asset-related claims by the beneficiaries (implementation of Article 1 of the First Protocol and the case law of EurCourtHR Stec – ruling on the admissibility of 2005) was of critical importance. The first of these SSC judgments was commented – with specific referenced to my own argumentation – by assistant professor at the Law School in Thessaloniki C. Gogos in Armenopoulos [in Greek], 2007, n° 3, pp. 443-446. The aforementioned 2007 judgments were also analyzed in my paper [in Greek], “The application of the human rights European law to the contractual claims for social allowance. Remarks on the judgments n° 3, 4 and 5/2007 of the Special High Court in the cases of the ‘minimum ratio’ of the lump sum allowance to the Banks employees”, in Journal of Social Security Law. (A) Monthly Legal Review, n° 8/596, August 2008, pp. 617-630.

xv. Member of the Management Board of the European Union Monitoring Centre against racism and xenophobia (EUMC) (Vienna) from 1998 to 2004, elected Vice-chairman of the Management Board of the EUMC for the years 2001-2004.

The European Union Monitoring Centre against racism and xenophobia (EUMC) is the European institution which was incorporated in 1998 and which, in 2004, evolved to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (cf. above under n° xi).

I was appointed a member of the Board of Directors of the Observatory before the European Commission in 1998, proposed by the Greek Government, for a three (3) year term. My term was renewed in 2001 and, immediately upon the commencement of my new term I was elected Vice-President of EUMC’s Board of Directors (with 9 votes out of a total of 17).

During my first term as a member of the Board of Directors (1998-2001), besides my stricto sensu administrative and managerial duties, I became involved with the processing of the proposals of the Monitoring Center, for the drafts to the first two European Community directives grounded on article 13 of the EC Treaty. These drafts became, in 2000, the Council Directive 2000/43/EC of 29.6.2000, implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin (OJ n° L 180/19.7.2000 ) and the Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27.11.2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (OJ n° L 303/2.12.2000).

As Vice-President for EUMC’s Board of Directors (2001-2004), I was a member of the Executive Office. The main mission of the Executive Office was to manage the NGO network under the name RAXEN network, which supplied the Observatory with information regarding the state of affairs in each Member State with respect to racism and xenophobia. This information was used by EUMC to draft its annual report or to offer opinions and recommendations to the issues posed to it by the institutional bodies of the Union regarding its field of competence. Furthermore, I participated and represented the Observatory in the delegation of the European Community in the European Committee against racism and intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe (the EC had an observer status in ECRI, while the other member of its delegation to the ECRI was the representative of the European Committee). I have also represented EUMC in many international scientific conferences relevant to its field of competence. Let me, only indicatively, cite the international conference organized in Brussels on 20-21.3.2002 by the European Committee and entitled Intercultural Dialogue-Dialogue Interculturel, where my introduction related to “La contribution de l’Observatoire européen des phénomènes racistes et xénophobes à la promotion du caractère multiculturel des sociétés européennes”, and the conference «Empires et Etats nationaux en Méditerranée: la frontière entre risques et protection» organised by IFAO (Institut Français d’Afrique Orientale) in Cairo on 6-8.3.2004, where my paper regarded “L’espace Schengen et la difficile gestion politico-juridique des frontières de l’Union européenne”.

In the course of my term as EUMC’s Vice President, I directed, in 2002-2003, the Monitoring Center’s Working Group assigned with the task of formulating the positions and proposals of the Center for the Convention on the Future of Europe, on the provisions of the future Constitutional Treaty that regarded the prevention and fighting of racism and xenophobia. Since in the Constitutional Treaty draft that the praesidium of the Convention had presented in 2003 all references to this field had been erased, the Work Group of the Observatory and I personally exercised great efforts to convince the members of this Convention that such erasure was spurious. My personal contribution (drafting of documents and letters, meetings with the praesidium of the Convention and presence in the Convention itself) was finally rewarded, by the introduction in the final draft of the Constitutional Treaty of the reference we were interested in. But, even prior to this, a letter by European commissioners and members of the Convention, M. Barnier and A. Vitorino to the Observatory’s General Director testifies my personal confluence to the outcome of this issue. Since the curriculum vitae template provided for the present procedure does not cater for the attachment of documents, I cite here the whole of the letter by the two commissioners (dated 15.5.2003 and under doc. n° 24451) in its original language, French: “Nous vous remercions pour votre lettre du 25 ars 2003 par laquelle vous nous avez transmis, ainsi qu’à nos collègues du praesidium de la Convention européenne, un courrier de M. Stangos sur la prévention et la lutte contre le racisme et la xénophobie. Nous partageons le souci exprimé dans la note de M. Stangos en ce qui concerne la disparition de la mention explicite du racisme et de la xénophobie à l’article 17, partie II du projet de Traité constitutionnel, qui traite du rapprochement en matière de droit pénal substantiel. En effet, la référence, dans le commentaire de l’article 17 deuxième tiret, à l’article 13 TCE n’est pas suffisante et risque de donner lieu à des interprétations divergentes quant à l’existence d’une compétence de l’Union à agir en matière de rapprochement du droit pénal contre le racisme et la xénophobie. Nous serions donc en faveur de mentionner explicitement le racisme et la xénophobie au premier tiret de l’article 17. Suite au débat lors de la session plénière du 3 avril, il nous semble que cette question mérite d’être à nouveau examinée et dans ce contexte nous nous félicitons de la contribution de l’Observatoire européen.”

xvi. Member of the Group of experts of the European Public Law Center (Athens) on the European Constitution (2002).

Professor S. Flogaïtis, Director of European Public Law Center, proposed to me to participate in the Center’s Group of experts for the European Constitution. This Group of experts, presided over by Guy Braibant, head of the Center’s Scientic Council, had undertaken the task of presenting the principles, based on which the representatives of the Center could participate in the public discourse for the European Constitution which was encouraged by the Convention fro the future of Europe. During 2002 I participated in all of the meetings of the Working Group, which took place in Athens, Paris and the island of Spetses. My personal contribution to the Group of Experts of the Center is detailed and analysed in my paper entitled “Rule of Law” and included in the publication European Public Law Center – Centre Européen de Droit Public: Group of Experts on European Constitution – Groupe d’experts sur la Constitution européenne. Contributions. Spetses 11-12.9.2002, pp. 27-31.

xvii. Member of Consultative commission of the EU Council against racism and xenophobia (Brussels), 1994-1997.

I was appointed member of the Consultative commission against racism and xenophobia by the EU Council following the proposal of the Greek government in September 1994, serving a one year term. Since then my incumbency was renewed twice, with the same procedure. During the second year of my term (1995-96) I was elected president of the sub-committee to the Consultative commission, which was assigned to formulate proposals for the legal and institutional particulars for the establishment of a European agency, the Building Institution competent to fight racism and xenophobia; an organization which was, indeed, established two years later, in the form of EUMC (cf. below under n° xv).

xviii. Manager or Academic supervisor of research projects and vocational training projects in the area of human rights (2000-2001, 2004-2006).

In the course of my academic career I directed or was the academic supervisor for various research programmes, which sometimes included of a vocational training aspect, while others they did not. Two (2) of a total of eight (8) such programmes related to human rights, these were:

a) A European programme for the vocational training of judges and lawyers from Maghreb (Tunisia and Morocco) on issues of the Rule of Law and the respect for human rights. I was the director of this programme, which took place in academic year 2000-2001 at the Law School in Thessaloniki and was financed and supported by the European Commission (DG1) in the context of the action “MEDA for democracy”. The results of this programme, which also include the findings of the academic research relating to the conditions for the stabilization of the values of the Rule of Law and human rights in the nations of Southern Mediterranean, were published in the volume I edited: La formation des professionnels du droit dans le cadre du programme “MEDA pour la démocratie”. Approches issues d'un séminaire de formation en matière d'Etat de droit et de libertés fondamentales. Publication réalisée avec l’assistance financière de la Communauté européenne, Faculté de droit, Université Aristote de Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 2001, 143 pp.

b) The European research programme “Combating discrimination from the University: an idea of research and education” (2004-2006), for which I was the academic supervisor, on behalf of the Law School at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. This programme was coordinated by Italian NGO UCODEP and the partners for the programme included three (3) European universities (University of Florence, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and University College of London) and three (3) NGOs (an Italian, an Austrian and a Spanish one). The programme was financed and supported by the European Commission (DG1) in the context of “Action Programme 2000-2006 against discriminations”. The findings of the research were published in the volume: Ch. Favilli (ed.), Anti-discrimination law as a new subject of law? UCODEP, Firenze, 2006, where one can find also my contribution for the department of scientific research, realized under my supervision in Greece (pp. 16-21).

xix. Delegate of Greece at the 1^st Mediterranean Conference of National Institutions for the Protection and the Promotion of Human Rights, Marrakesh, Morocco, 27-29.4.1998.

This Conference was organized jointly by the French Republic and the Kingdom of Morocco, implementing the so-called “Paris principles” of the United Nations with respect to the establishment by all Nations of public institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights. I participated in this international conference representing the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs (specifically as the representative of deputy minister Yiannis Kranidiotis), at an era when Greece was in the preparatory stages for similar institutions. The reports I filed with the ministry after the conference furnished further support for the arguments that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put forth in the governmental process, already set in motion, for the establishment of such institutions; a process that was completed one year after with the establishment of the institutions of the Ombudsman and the National Commission for Human Rights (cf. above under n° xii)

I devoted the essence of my professional life – without, however, compromising the integrity of my personal and family life – to the contemplation of the legal universe, drawing upon the available jurisprudential sources with the help of the tools – my career was academic, after all – of empirical research and critical approach to the sources.

My commitment to the European law on human rights is more than a specialization that I have acquired, additional or supplementary to the others which compose my profile as jurisprudent-international law expert (community institutional and economic law, public and economic international law). It was initially prescribed as an antidote to the painful experience that my generation has gone through: we have lived our best years, our youth, under an oppressive political regime. This commitment was further nurtured by the thinkers on human rights with whom I had the privilege and honor of working and, at the same time, studying under: Demetrius Evrigenis, Professor of International Law at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Member of the European Parliament, with whom we worked together at the Law School and the Center for International and European Economic Law in Thessaloniki. I collaborated with Prof. Evrigenis closely in the drawing up of the first European acts (of non-regulatory, of course, character) which punished racism (in the report and resolution of the European Parliament in 1985-86 for the rise of fascism and racism in Europe), for which he was the rapporteur. I had also the honor of working with Guy Braibant, honorary Vice-President of Conseil d’État and Vice-President of the Assembly which, in 2000, drew up the Charter of fundamental rights in the EU and who honored me by initiating me to the powerful signification of the Rule of Law, in which he firmly believed, fact that guided my academic and professional orientation, especially during the second phase of my appointment at the European Monitoring Center against racism in Vienna. But, above all, my commitment to the European Law for Human Rights was, and continues to be, the road that facilitates my descent to the every-day life of the world of law, to legal practice.

In the course of the last fifteen years of my career, I was elected or appointed to various European and national bodies which, due to their composition, realize that old requirement of political theory: to propagate and consolidate the vigilance for the respect of human rights to all society; due to their function, such bodies belong to the category of the institutions supervising the upholding of human rights by entities of authority (supranational, pan European, of the individual states), which are under the obligation, in the context of such institutions, to act, to be informed, to adjust their policies and to learn.

My arsenal being the positivism in human rights, which is an integral part of my intellectual inheritance, the reality I have experience in the course of the activities I had, every time, developed in the context of such institutions may be summarized in the statement that there no “good” governments (or “good” legislators, or “good” public administrations) which, in the framework of their powers, believe and protect human rights. Such a consideration of reality would deliberately shut its eyes to the natural tendency of all people, including those who man these mechanisms for public decisions, to hoard authority and power. Acting as counter-weight to this reality I have experienced in legal practice, is the compulsory “passage” of the protection of human rights through one specific public institution, the court.

Such a claim does not stem from a sincere faith that judges are better people than the members of the government or the legislative body. My trust in the judge rests firmly in the institution of court itself, which is “tailored”, more than any other institution, to fit the average citizen. Experience has demonstrated that this institution, even if manned by mediocre people, is the one less exposed to the influence exercised by those interests closely related to power and authority, since such interests stand alienated both with respect to the institution as well as to the procedures available for this institution. A judge is not a recognizable figure of authority only inasmuch as he justifies his judgment on rational thinking, in other words, only inasmuch as his judgment is intelligible and comprehensible by others. The impartiality that characterizes a judge will by necessity lead him to decide which of the arguments presented by the parties to a dispute are more convincing.

This deeply felt insight has led me to focalize, in a 650 pages volume which I published in 2004, my analysis on human rights protection in Europe, exclusively in their judicial safeguard. The same insight has guided my teaching at the university and the National School of Judges, and it never fails to attract the audiences’ attention. Finally, this is the utmost reason for which I submit my application for the appointment of the Greek judge at the European Court of Human Rights, initially with my government, and now before you, hoping and aspiring that my candidacy will be received positively by you, in your final decision for the fulfilment of this vacancy.

XI. Please confirm that you will take up permanent residence in Strasbourg if elected a judge on the Court.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DOMESTIC PROCEDURE FOR THE SELECTION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE ELECTION OF THE JUDGE IN RESPECT OF PORTUGAL TO THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Following the entry into force of Protocol No. 14 to the European Convention on Human Rights on 1 January 2010, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe asked the Portuguese authorities to confirm whether Portugal wished to maintain the list of candidates for the election of the judge in respect of Portugal to the European Court of Human Rights or submit a new list.

The Ministry of Justice of Portugal deemed it appropriate to maintain the list of candidates submitted on 18 December 2009. The three candidates on the list were consulted as to whether they were still available given the changes which had occurred in the timetable for the election and the term of office of judges following the entry into force of Protocol No. 14 to the European Convention on Human Rights.

Although two of the said candidates – Ms Anabela Miranda Rodrigues and Mr João Manuel da Silva Miguel – confirmed their availability, the third candidate – Mr Sebastião Coutinho Póvoas – indicated that he wished to withdraw.

Because of this withdrawal, the Ministry of Justice reopened the procedure with a view to selecting a fresh candidate from among the candidatures previously submitted.

The independent panel set up before (comprising four members appointed respectively by the Judicial Service Commission, the Administrative and Fiscal Tribunals Commission, the Office of the Principal State Prosecutor (Procuradoria Geral da República) and the Bar Council of Portugal) was consulted.

On the basis of the assessment by the panel and in line with its proposal, the Portuguese Government chose Mr Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque.

The list of the three candidates for the election of the judge in respect of Portugal to the European Court of Human Rights is accordingly, in alphabetical order:

- Ms Anabela Maria Pinto de Miranda Rodrigues;

- Mr João Manuel da Silva Miguel;

- Mr Paulo Sérgio Pinto de Albuquerque.
