Beyond the fact that they are particularly time-consuming and complex, they raise difficult issues, in particular as regards the establishment of facts by the Strasbourg Court; moreover, numerous challenges appear when it comes to execute the Courtâs judgments.
On 12 and 13 April, the German Presidency of the Committee of Ministers organised the present conference to open a space for discussion of problems raised by interstate cases and possible solutions. The questions of fact-finding and friendly settlements deserved special attention. The conference was intended to inform the current reflection being conducted by the Steering Committee for Human Rights (CDDH) on the best ways of dealing with interstate cases in the Convention system without undermining its overall effectiveness.
