(*) An Interim Resolution is a form of decision adopted by the Committee of Ministers aimed at overcoming more complex situations requiring special attention.
(**) The sending of a letter by the Chair of the Committee of Ministers to the authorities of a respondent state is a relatively rare step taken by the Committee of Ministers in only a handful of cases to date.
(***) A final resolution is a Committee of Ministers decision whereby it decides to close the supervision of the execution of a judgment, considering that the respondent state has adopted all measures required in response to the violations found by the court.
