The purpose of this submission is to support the Council of Ministers’ work in relation to the monitoring of the discharge of the respondent State’s obligations under Article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In this context, we respectfully submit our preliminary assessment regarding the scope of implementation of this judgment and the nature of general measures required to ensure the non-repetition of the violation established by the ECtHR.
