Recommendation 2007 (2013) Final version
Ensuring the viability of the Strasbourg Court: structural deficiencies in States Parties
1. The Parliamentary Assembly, referring
to its Resolution 1914
(2013) on ensuring the viability of the Strasbourg Court: structural
deficiencies in States Parties, urges the Committee of Ministers
to continue to use all available means to ensure the viability of
the European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”) and to that effect recommends
that it:
1.1. consider further
developing the Court’s HUDOC database into a comprehensive database
of the Court’s case law, including cases pending before the Court
and its own database on information concerning the implementation
of Court judgments; the latter database should also include information on
the Court’s recourse to the “pilot judgment” procedure and supervision
procedures undertaken by the Committee of Ministers;
1.2. continue to afford priority treatment to the implementation
of the Court’s pilot judgments and other judgments revealing structural
problems;
1.3. consider the possibility of regularly providing statistical
analyses with respect to progress made in the elimination of structural
deficiencies, as identified by the Court and the Committee of Ministers;
1.4. ensure appropriate staff resources to the Secretariat
dealing with the execution of judgments.
2. The Assembly reiterates its call in Recommendations 1764 (2006) and 1955 (2011) on the implementation of judgments of the European
Court of Human Rights, to increase pressure and take firmer measures
in cases of dilatory and continuous non-compliance with the Court’s
judgments by State Parties.
