Implementation Map Updated

1EIN Map August 2021.png

In 2020 EIN launched a new resource on the implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), mapping out the compliance of the 47 member states of the Council of Europe. Since then, we regularly update this implementation map to reflect member states’ implementation records.

By clicking on individual countries on the implementation map, you can find key information about ECtHR implementation in each state. This includes: the overall number of leading judgments that are pending implementation; the average time leading judgments have been pending, and the percentage of leading cases from the last ten years still pending. EIN aims to update this information twice per year.

Since our last implementation map update earlier this year, here are the new overall statistics on member states’ implementation records: 

  • There are around 1,300 leading judgments pending overall 

  • 47% of leading judgments from last ten years are pending implementation

  • The average time leading judgments have been pending is six years and three months. 

It is not easy to present data about the non-implementation problem in a clear and accessible way. We use these figures not because they are perfect but because they are the best available. For more information on our data, please see the bottom of our Implementation Map page. The data is valid as of August 2021.
