Abstract

The accumulation of thousands of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) pending execution and, more specifically, hundreds of judgments certifying the violation of non-derogable human rights by the Russian Federation and Turkey, is one of the most serious deficits of the protection system established by the Rome Convention. At one point and with a view to responding to this regrettable situation, some reforms were introduced through the adoption of Protocol 14; in particular, the possibility that the Committee of Ministers (CM), the body in charge of supervising the execution of judgments, may bring infringement proceedings before the ECHR. But the study of the practice relative to these two States shows that the CM has been acting excessively slowly and one could say that at low ebb. In fact, a good number of judgments of the ECHR are not executed, without any reaction from the CM, except for the publication of some Interim Resolutions.
