International Conference
|
|
Organised jointly by the Council of Europe and the Ministry of Justice of Luxembourg
under the auspices of the Luxembourg Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
|
|
Both the case-law of the Court and the acquis of the Committee of Ministers on the execution of its judgments define the standards relating to the obligation to comply with the national courts’ judgments, to the principle of res judicata, and to the need to ensure fast, full and efficient enforcement of judicial rulings.
The conference’s aim is twofold. Firstly, on the basis of most up-to-date information on the Court’s jurisprudence in this field, to explore the main systemic and structural problems concerning the non- execution of national judicial decisions, which must be resolved by the States where such problems persist. Secondly, based in particular on the expertise of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ), it is to look into the best practices of organising the systems of implementation of domestic judicial decisions and the existing soft law aimed at supporting member States to set up quality enforcement procedures, before exploring the relevance of new tools or principles to enhance the performance of all Member States' enforcement procedures.
This is fully in line with the Reykjavik Declaration’s call for a co-operative and inclusive approach, based on dialogue, in the supervision process to assist States in the execution of the Court’s judgments, as well as for greater synergy between Council of Europe advisory bodies - such as CEPEJ - and the Execution of Judgments, to facilitate the exchange of good practice and expertise among member States.
