Guaranteeing the authority and effectiveness of the
European Convention on Human Rights
Recommendation 1991 (2012)1
1. The
Parliamentary Assembly, referring to its
Resolution 1856 (2012) on guaranteeing the authority and
effectiveness of the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS
No. 5), strongly urges the Committee of Ministers, as the
statutory guarantor of the supervisory system’s viability, to
ensure that:
1.1.
the Council of Europe’s difficult financial predicament be
tackled at the highest political level to enable the
Organisation to implement its human rights mandate
effectively;
1.2.
the Assembly, as well as national parliaments, are fully
involved in the implementation of the “Interlaken process”,
and are provided with the opportunity to scrutinise state
reports submitted in this context.
2. The
Assembly further urges the Committee of Ministers to address a
recommendation to the member states calling on them to
reinforce without delay, by legislative, judicial or other
means, the interpretative authority (res interpretata)
of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.
