Online Workshop - Execution of the Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights: Taking stock and thinking forward

Last week, EIN participated in the “Execution of the Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights: Taking stock and thinking forward” workshop, organised by the Hertie School Centre for Fundamental Rights, Middlesex University of London, and the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.

The workshop focused on three main challenges often faced when advocating for the implementation of ECtHR judgments: namely delayed execution, deficient execution, and resistance to execution. Individuals who work in the various areas of implementation participated in the workshop to take stock of the challenges of implementing ECtHR judgments and discuss possible solutions. The workshop concluded with a roundtable discussion on thinking forward on the execution of ECtHR judgments.

The presentation by EIN Director George Stafford focused on solutions to improve implementation through the participation of local civil society, and by increasing the role of the European Union.

A video of the conference should be available shortly.
