Letter from the Secretary General to the President of the Assembly, dated 27 November 1997

Madam,

      I have the honour to recall that following the deposit of the last ratification required for the entry into force of Protocol No. 11 to the European Convention on Human Rights, made by the Italian Government on 1 October 1997, I invited the contracting parties to submit lists of candidates with a view to the election of judges of the new Court, which will take up its functions on 1 November 1998.

      Article 22, paragraph 1, of the European Convention on Human Rights as amended by Protocol No. 11 thereto provides that "The judges shall be elected by the Parliamentary Assembly with respect to each High Contracting Party by a majority of votes cast from a list of three candidates nominated by the High Contracting Party".

      In addition I recall that Article 23, paragraphs 1 and 2, provide as follows:

1.       “The judges shall be elected for a period of six years. They may be re-elected. However, the terms of office of one-half of the judges elected at the first election shall expire at the end of three years.2;

2;       The judges whose terms of office are to expire at the end of the initial period of three years shall be chosen by lot by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe immediately after their election.”

Research and academic activity

My research has dealt with criminal law, comparative criminal law, juvenile delinquency and criminology, children's rights and human rights. I have been principal investigator of 12 research projects, two of them being international and have collaborated in eight additional ones. I have published results of my research in periodicals in Slovenian and English, French, German, Polish, Chinese and (at the time of publishing) Serbo-Croatian languages.

Since 1977, I have been UN national correspondent in the field of criminology and juvenile delinquency and have served twice as UN expert. In 1997, I worked as a UN consultant for the field of juvenile justice at the UN project "Strengthening the Administration of Justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina".

I have been member of national professional organisations in my field and member of Association Internationale de Droit Penal (AIDP), where I am chairperson of the Slovene National Group; Société Internationale de Défense Social (SIDS), International Association of Criminology (SIC) and International Association of Family and Youth Magistrate (AIMJF) where I was member of the administrative committee and am now member of the general committee.

At the congresses of these organisations I have participated as national rapporteur (1973-AIDP, 1982-AIMJF, 1989-AIDP) or general rapporteur (1986)-AIMJF).

I have been member of the International Jury for "Veillard-Cybulski" award for research projects in the field of juvenile delinquency.

Since 1994, I have been member of the seven-member editorial board of the publication series "Higher Education in Europe: Legislation and Development" which is being published under the auspices of the Council of Europe in five volumes. I am editor of Volume 4 planned to be published in 1998.

I am also national correspondent for the "Revue de droit penal et de criminologie", Brussels.

During 1991-96 I have organised and/or co-organised six international meetings partly prepared under the auspices of the Council of Europe and one of them with the Max Planck Institute für vergleichendes und ausländisches Strafrecht im Freiburg, Germany.

In my academic career I was teaching criminal law and criminology (graduate level) at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana, Criminal Law for Juveniles and Victimology (postgraduate level) and some courses connected with these areas at other university departments (School for Social Work and School of Nursing).

I held lectures, among others, at the Universities of Maribor, Brussels, Graz, Cracow, Munich, Novi Sad, Puerto Rico, Regensburg, Rijeka, Sarajevo, Warsaw, Zagreb, University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Other professional activity

During the whole time of my professional career I have collaborated with professional organisations at home (Association "Lawyer" and Association of Criminal Law and Criminology); I have often been rapporteur on meetings at home; I have often participated as rapporteur in seminars of the Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, State Prosecutor's Office and others.

I have been member of the editing board of the annual publication of research papers of the Faculty of Law ("Zbornik") and am now member of the editing board of the periodical "Lawyer" (Pravnik).

I have participated in legislative work in my field. I have been head of delegation of Slovenia in the Council of Europe Committee on Higher Education and Research. In July 1994 I was head of the Slovenian Delegation presenting the report of Slovenia on the state of human rights in Slovenia to the UN Committee for Human Rights in Geneva.

From 1992-94 I was member of the Slovenian Council for Human Rights; now I am member of the Commission on Children's Rights of the Commission for Medical Ethics of Slovenia.

VI.       Other activities

Since taking silk, I have acted for private clients in respect of a number of cases which are presently before the Commission or in which applications are to be made, including the Orkney and Ayrshire Child Abuse cases

Through my participation in the preparation of the devolution proposals for Scotland, I have been involved in devising means of ensuring that the legislation enacted by the Scottish Parliament is in conformity with the ECHR

I was involved in the first ECHR conference in Scotland, a symposium entitled "An Introduction to Human Rights Law", which was held in May 1997. I was one of the speakers, my topic being "Bringing a case under the Convention". That symposium is being followed by a series of seminars on European Human Rights Law between November 1997 and February 1998. I am taking the seminar on "Taking cases to the Court of Human Rights".

In January 1998 I will be speaking at a conference on constitutional reform to be held by Cambridge University as the inaugural event of the Cambridge Centre for Public Law. The conference will be covering ECHR incorporation and devolution, and I will be speaking on the links between these two issues
