The execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
(ECtHR) on Armenia, as analysed in an OSCE-supported report, was the
focus of an international conference in Yerevan today. The report
presents the findings of a monitoring exercise implemented by the
Chamber of Advocates with the support of the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
The event was organized by the OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Armenian
Chamber of Advocates in co-operation with the Council of Europe and
the Armenian Constitutional Court.
"As the OSCE is assisting Armenia in strengthening the rule of law
in line with its commitments this first study of the execution of
the Court's judgements is of prime importance, not only for the
individual cases concerned but for Armenia's legal development,"
said Carel Hofstra, the Deputy Head of the OSCE Office. "The report
contains clear descriptions of the cases and recommendations for the
action needed to implement the Court's decisions."
Gagik Harutyunyan, the Chairman of the Armenian Constitutional Court,
said: "The ultimate goal of our work is the human being. The State
is obliged to ensure and guarantee people's rights. The European
Court of Human Rights can effectively fulfill its mission only when
national structures function efficiently. Even one violation points
to problems that need to be addressed".
The study attempted to review the state and progress of implementation
of judgments, examined the conformity of national proceedings for
re-opening court cases with the provisions of the European Convention
on Human Rights, indentified legislative and institutional shortcomings
and provided recommendations for further improvements.
The study includes ECtHR decisions against Armenia until December 2010,
totaling 25 judgments.
According to Gevorg Kostanyan, Armenian Deputy Prosecutor General and
Armenia's Representative at the European Court, Armenia is trying to
meet its commitments and properly implement the Court decisions.
The conclusions of the European Court are mostly declarative. However,
Armenian Judge at the European Court of human Rights Alvina Gyulumyan
said it's necessary to implement the verdicts in full, since it's
necessary for the international standing of the country.
