Communications by NHRIs/CSOs


Under Rule 9, National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs ) may submit to the Committee of Ministers (CM) communications with regard to the execution of judgments according to Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention.

The Council of Europe thereby stresses the important role played by NHRIs and CSOs in the execution process. (Copenhagen Declaration)

On this webpage NHRIs and CSOs can find useful, practical information about the execution process and the submission of communications to the Committee of Ministers.

The Department for the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (DEJ) has prepared an information note that describes the best practice on how and when to address communications to the Committee of Ministers.
